Two trades I want to pimp for you guys today.

1. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier. The book ships tomorrow but today is the last day to save ten bucks on Amazon. Also given the fact that this book isn't shipping outside of the United States and the fact that Moore has a significant global readership I'm predicting this book is going to be very rare and expensive very soon so order yours today.

2. The Chronicles of Wormwood. Garth Ennis has penned a wonderful comedy with religious themes that is surprisingly heartfelt. The artist, Jack Burrows, is really awesome and this book is certainly much better than the depressing 300 mini they worked on a few years ago. That said as much as I loved this book, if religious humor is offensive to you, don't purchase it as Garth has a lot of fun at everybody's expense.

Now that I've pimped my books, pimp yours as I'm always looking for new stuff that's good rather than the mediocre crap that put out most weeks.

1) Castle Waiting - Linda Medley - Fantagraphics Books

If your LCS doesn't carry this indie, tell them to order ALL the back issues as well as the hardcover graphic compilation of the first story arc. This is one of the best treatments of "what happens after Happily Ever After" that I have ever read in prose or in comics.

The humor is quirky and unique, the characters are rich and nuanced, the art is deceptively simple and clean and the story, well, you have to read it.

Why Ms. Medley isn't already a star of Gaiman-like stature is a mystery to me. Let's see what we can do to get her that promotion, yeah?

2) HM. Are webcomics included?
