These were my choices of this past Wednesday. :smile:

Edit: I guess this is Part I: (for max pics per post)
-----------------------------------------------------

On an unrelated note: the Blue Monday cover was hard to scan! Loved the book, a bit slow in the beginning, but then Chynna got her nice groove back, ;)

Grundy, I've already commented on the DC forum.

The NBM book, odd and interesting. The whole thing plays through with seemingly no emotion. At least none I felt. The characters supposedly have it, but the book seems to be missing the part which recognizes the reader. Read it and tell me if you feel the same way.

Rest, again, I like. The premise could be all snazzy and cheesy and overdone blase stuff, but it's not! :)

The Sandman book, an interesting take on asian-style Sandman.

These were my other choices! :smile:
------------------------------------------

Secret Six, fun! :) But more gruesomeness needed, artwise, I think.

Supergirl. Got this to see Landry and Walkers' progression. Honestly, most of the book feels like they are writing and drawing on a male teen's experiences not a females' for how much I don't know, but the end, well, it was kinda cool. This is supposed to be for the kiddies, I wonder if they geek out over this stuff?

Terror Titans. Again, the beginning mini-story, not too helpful and kinda confusing. not sure if it should be done that way. But the rest of the story, still good. Why would Ravager go up against an electric person, she's all clad in metal and stuff! O.o
