Phantom #3: Surprisingly compelling story. It drew me in and made me actually care. I'm not a big fan of the Phantom, but this book could make me one. Definitely worth a look. Recommended.
Mark Crilley's The Beast That Ate Morioka #1: This is a cute little tale set in Japan and featuring a lovable little monster, a couple of kids, and a bad guy out for cash. The story is about what you'd expect from Crilley. And there's some nice material in the back, including a cool little travelogue. Nothing special, but fun.
The Originals Special Ashcan Edition: Yeah, I've heard of Dave Gibbons. The "Co-Creator of WATCHMEN" bit would've reminded me if I hadn't remembered. This is a thirteen page intro to a hardcover graphic novel coming out in October. I might be interested in getting this in softcover, but it didn't grab me enough to buy a hardcover. Nice and moody.
Still to review: Silver Age DC Sampler, H-E-R-O, Demo, and Amazing Adventures From Zoom's Academy.
