Kate Dacey at Manga Critic offers up a quick couple of reviews and notes that things come out too fast to cover it all – preach it.

Chris Mautner decides that League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: 1910 is better than Black Dossier – which isn’t saying much.  Based on his review, I’ll probably give it a shot but not have my hopes up.

Here’s what the critics are saying about X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

I normally don’t even bother with a comic until it’s collected but I love the concept of this giant cowl battle so much that I may have to get single issues.  Read About Comics reviews Battle of the Cowl: The Underground.


Lazy Monday

I don’t know if it’s the rain or what but I my neurons are not really working at full capacity today.  So I post the NYT Graphic Books (haha) bestseller list for April 18.

My reaction – Batman is hot even when he’s not.  Watchmen is still being bought.   Marvel Zombies meeeeehhhhhh.  A Drifting Life – interesting.  Saga of Swamp Thing – there’s alway one surprise on the list and this is it.  Maybe it’s a generational thing but I really thought Swamp Thing had sunk back into the ooze a long time ago.

Manga  – what will happen when Naruto finally ends?  Will there be a giant black hole?  Will that be the end of the American manga industry?  I’m serious.
