Food or Comics?



For this week's "comics on a budget" column, I picked Dragon Puncher, Marvel Her-Oes, Zorro: Matanzas, and (with reservations) the DCU Halloween Special.

What Looks Good for December



This week's Gorillas Riding Dinosaurs was a look at cool, new adventure comics coming out in December. Lots of Sherlock Holmes and dinosaurs, but also pirates, Dracula, Sinbad, and talking primates.

Heralds



Marvel certainly is serious about spotlighting their female heroes this year. Heralds is a mini-series coming in June about She-Hulk, Valkyrie, and others fighting a former herald of Galactus. And apparently some zombies and dinosaurs. [Robot 6]

Dragon Puncher



I said in this morning's Gorillas Riding Dinosaurs column that Frenemy of the State was probably the best title anything would get all year. I'd clearly forgotten about Dragon Puncher about "a cute but ruthless kitty in an armored battle suit, dedicated to defeating dangerous dragons wherever they may be. The Dragon Puncher and his would-be sidekick Spoony-E (a fuzzy little fellow armed with a wooden spoon) confront a gigantic, drooling dragon and have a ridiculous, hilarious brawl." Coming from Top Shelf in July. [Robot 6]

Boneyard, The Good Neighbors, and Mouse Guard after the break.
