Conan #8 $2.99
You have to check this sure-to-be award winner. Kurt Busiek, Cary Nord, Dave Stewart. It's all good! Gorgeous book!
Walking Dead #11 (Mature Readers) $2.95
A great character drama disguised as a zombie comic. This is the goods realityTV only wished it could get. This is Kirkman at his best.
Daisy Kutter #2 (Of 4) $3.99
From Bolt City to Copper and now Daisy Kutter. This Flight Vol. 1 contributor is making a name for himself in the print world of comics. The first issue was a lot of set up. Action should commence with this week's release. Looking forward to this one.
Devil May Cry #3 $3.95
I really don't know why I am still getting this book. I have never played the games or even really get the story. As an artist, I think I am getting it merely for Pat Lee's beautifully "painted" art. Another beautiful book.
Comics Buyers Guide Nov 04 #1598 $5.99
For years I only read friend's copies of CBG due to the cover price of it's weekly tabloid format. The content was always outstanding. Peter David's But I Digress is a fun read. And Heidi MacDonald's Hey Kid's Comics is just plain good journalism. But CBG changed over to a monthly magazine format just recently. That's all i needed to know. I was onbaord and adding it to my Pull List as soon as I saw it in Previews!

NYC Mech #5 (Mature Readers) $2.95
I passed on this one the first couple issues. But after seeing some of Andy MacDonald's sketches at Wizard Wolrd Chicago I decided to give it another look. Check the site and 5-page preview.
Digital Webbing Presents #18 $2.95
This title I picked up for the first 12 or so. DWP is a nicely packaged showcase of talent. A load of 8-page stories came across like a book of short stories. Great for those with short attention spans.
Harry Johnson #1 (Of 2) (Mature Readers) $2.95
Been waiting for this one for a long time. Seen the great web site too! With ourstanding art and a promising story I think fans will be wanting more after the second (and last) issue hits the stands.
Remains #5 (Mature Readers) $3.99
Another title I was buying for the first three issues. I love Keron Dwyer's art. The Steve Niles story was good. Moved along well enough. But I didn't think there was enough meat (no pun intended) to the monthly segment to justify IDW's excessive cover price of $3.99. If price is no object to you try it out.
Now you're thinking, 'Egg Rolls & PopTarts™'? Yeah. That's my lunch and breakfast respectively. Just in case you needed to know.
