Huntress: Year One # 3

This has been really good so far. In terms of DC's move for a Year One series on everyone, this and the Green Arrow ones have been the only one's I've liked so far (though I didn't read the Teen Titans one, so I guess that means I didn't like Metamorpho's). In all seriousness, this Year One (in the first two issues) comes very close to what I imagine as a Year One story should be. In addition, the writer is doing a magnificent job for not having written very many comics before. I'm looking forward to this one today.

Tiny Titans #5

What? you aren't reading this book? For shame! Despite it being mostly a children's book, if you are a fan of the Teen Titans books and also like things that are fun, then check this out. 

NewUniversal: Shockfront #2

And if you didn't get the first issue, I'm sure they've still got some. Warren Ellis' take on the world of the New Universe has been fantastic, and the story continues on here, introducing more people affected by the White Event. Don't know what I'm talking about? First soft trade is out there, with art by Salvador Larocca.

Sky Doll #2

After a few years of being overloaded with manga, finally the US get's us some French comics. Okay, so we've had some French comics translated and brought over here (fantastic stuff too, like Epileptic and Persepolis), but y'know, I'm a junkie. I need MOOOORE. Sky Doll is well written, funny, colourful, and also has naked robot chicks, cause Marvel/Soliel knows what you want.

and The Trades

The Programme Vol. 1

Basically "what if the Cold War produced superheroes," but with a few interesting twists. Like most weapons in the Cold War, these super-powered beings were never used. And when some of the Russian super-powereds accidentally get activated and start wreaking havoc, things go bad. And what's the US's secret weapon doing? Why he's running a bar. And he doesn't really want to fight. Lots of other interesting stuff, including racial tensions and the only other US super-being, an African-American man programmed with the personality of Joseph McCarthy.

The Question: Five Books of Blood HC

Usually I don't make a big deal about hardcovers and just wait for the soft. But in this case, it may contain the case file or a copy of it that was released as promo material. I know that Rucka was pushing for it. Otherwise, herein contains the first Renee Montoya as The Question story outside of the 52 series. I really don't think much else has to be said aside from that, though I think some of the loose ends of the series here may be wrapped up in Final Crisis or elsewhere soon.

Vinyl Underground Vol. 1

Ten dollars folks. Ten dollars. That's all you have to pay to get into this series, which is a neat little horror investigation book. The characters herein are well written and each being quite unique from the other. In this particular story a boy is killed in a way that points back to prominent African man and the use of African magical practices. There's alot of neat stuff in here, and incentive to continue reading from here, the next story goes into a group obsessed with William Blake.
