School Library Journal

Although we're still waiting on an official in-store date (which really should be any day now), review copies of Lola: A Ghost Story have gone out and School Library Journal is the first to post:

"Torres and Or's tale is the sort of quiet horror story that moves along simply, lulling you into false security, before twisting quickly in another direction right at the end."

To read the whole review, please go here.

And please stay tuned for that release date!

WALL-E #1

Forgot to post about this with all the holiday hustle and bustle. WALL-E #1 came out this past Wednesday. If you didn't find one in your stocking, I'd get thee to a comic shop sooner than later. Don't forget, our zero issue sold out! This issue shipped with three covers, including a "limited edition" Christmas variant. You can check out some preview pages hosted by our good friends at CBR by going here.

Let me know what you think!

BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #11
Written by J. Torres; Art by Carlo Barberi; Cover by Scott Jeralds

The return of the Terrible Trio! Batman must team up with Green Arrow to stop the Fearsome Fangs from obtaining a secret weapon that would give them ultimate power!

Johnny DC * 32pg. * Color * $2.50 US

On Sale November 25, 2009


I've said it before, but this is probably my favorite Scott Jeralds cover of the series thus far. The action is fun, especially how Shark is about to bite down on Batman's leg! The interior art by Carlo Barberi is probably also some of his best work on the book so far. He draws some great interior action too. Look for the Batmobile, the Arrowcar, and the Huntress in this issue!
