Comic Book Comics #2 - This is a very small press book, but if your store carries it, pick it up. It's an illustrated history of the comic book industry. It's very well researched and extremely informative. I've heard some of this material before, but it's all presented in one place and in chronological order. Check it out.

Comic Book Comics #2 (EvilTwinComics) - by Van Lente & Dunlevey. Easily the best of the bunch this week. This series about how comic books in America (so far) came to be is very entertaining and informative. The writing and art match perfectly. In the letters page, there is an excellent little strip by Alex Cox, a poster here on CBR and part owner of Rocketship in Brooklyn.

Catwoman #81 (DC) - by Pfeifer, D & A Lopez & Cox. This was an okay issue, neither great, nor bad. Hard to judge issues when the series is coming to an end.

Ms. Marvel #29 (Marvel) - by Reed, Melo, Benes, Sotomayor & Siqueira. The art, being handled by so many different people, was hard to get consistency. I generally enjoyed Melo's art though, even though this story of Ms. Marvel vs. a whole army of superpowered skrulls is getting out of control.

Knights of the Dinner Table, magazine #141 (Kenzer & Co.) - by lots of contributors. The strips of this book remain highly enjoyable, the characters adventures at their convention and such.
