Best of the past week: Rachel Rising #6 – Easy choice. I love that the groundrules of Terry Moore’s super-natural, reanimation horror-story are becoming clear. Something weird is clearly going on that makes all these ladies rise from the dead, but I’m also looking forward to learning what the story is about. Moore is a rarely gifted storyteller in that he’s good enough that I don’t have any desire for him to hurry up. Take your time, dude! And keep drawing because the art is incredible.
Most anticipated this week: Saga #1 – Yippie! A new Brian K. Vaughn comic series with art from the outstanding Fiona Staples. That should be awesome! But, selection #1(a) would be Saucer County #1 about UFOs by Paul Cornell and the also-outstanding Ryan Kelly. It’s a great week for new, creator-controlled comics.
Other picks: Northlanders #49, The Unwritten #35, Blue Estate #10, Secret History of DB Cooper #1, Wolverine and the X-Men #7, Fantastic Four #604
