This Saturday is Free Comic Book Day, but this Wednesday is still New Comics Day!
Okay, first of all, here’s some stuff that we got last week which we missed reporting because it came though other channels:
DEATH NOTE VOLUME 11 $7.99
This is a great series. Basically, it’s about a guy who gets his hands on a notebook in which he can wtire people’s names, and they’ll die! It wraps up with the next volume, and I’m dying to see what happens! Get it? Dying? Oh, never mind. Anyway, it’s really entertaining.
KING CAT CLASSIX HARDCOVER $29.95
A nice hardcover collection of John Porcellino’s mini comics!
THE SALON $19.95
This is a really entertaining book starring Pablo Picasso, Gertrude Stein, and other historical luminaries in a crazy supernatural mystery! It’s great!

ALREADY HERE:
DON’T GO WHERE I CAN’T FOLLOW
I’m going to start this one tonight. The internet sure loves this book. I believe it’s nonfiction about the tragic death of the author’s friend. Anders Nilsen definitely does nice stuff, so I’m looking forward to it, in a sad kind of way.
OPTIC NERVE #11
Adrian Tomine’s comic series is coming out on a maybe sort-of regular basis again! If you love Optic Nerve, you’ll love Optic Nerve 11!
THE PROFESSOR’S DAUGHTER
This was really fun. It’s by Joann Sfar and Emmanuel Gilbert, and features a love story between the eponymous character and a mummy! I recognized some of the characters in this book from Vampire Loves, which is also super-cool!
TINY TYRANT
I haven’t had a chance to check this one out, yet. It’s comedy about a spoiled brat prince, it looks like. It has appealing, cartoony art.

The best superman comic since Alan Moore wrote “For the Man Who has Everything” in the eighties! This is crazy, weird golden-age Superman stuff, transplanted to the modern day. Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely have been knocking it out of the park with this one!
