I wanted to post a panel from Marjorie Liu and Phil Noto’s X-23 #13 because the whole damn book was so beautiful…but I couldn’t find one single panel that really worked in a way that made the absolute awesomeness of this book clear on its own, so I decided to give you a full page. Enjoy!
From X-23 #13, art by Phil Noto:

“This is exactly the kind of comic I feel like we need more of. It’s pretty kid friendly and appealing, with strong young protagonists, good solid friendships, and I suspect, eventually, some nice messages. I’m not sure how engaging it is for an adult audience on the whole at this point, but not every comic should be for every person, or we’d have tepid stories indeed. Variety, she’s the spice of life, kids!…”

“I was pretty disappointed when Marjorie Liu had to leave “Black Widow” for “X-23,” because I was loving the feel of Daniel Acuna and Liu’s take on Natasha. To make matters worse, I wasn’t wild about “X-23”. I tried the first arc, but had dropped it before we even got to the end. Liu’s writing was strong overall, but inconsistent art that frequently wasn’t to my tastes kept me from coming back, so instead I sulked about missing “Black Widow.” “X-23” #13 is a whole other story, and one that has me saying “Black Widow who?…”

“It’s always exciting to see a new series by Terry Moore. Especially as a reader hungry for strong well-rounded female characters, I always know I’m going to get something interesting from Moore. I also always know the book is going to be beautiful, and probably pretty intriguing. “Rachel Rising” #1 is no exception, and delivers on all fronts…”

The Hooded Utilitarian site is partway through unveiling their ambitious “10 Best International Comics List”, you can start here at #10 if you’re so inclined.
I urge you to head on over and check it out. The undertaking was massive – not just in the scope of their poll – but also in the way they’re laying out the information – it must have taken an age to compile all the data and my hat is off to them.
Yours truly was invited to the poll, and one of my choices Jaime Hernandez’ “Love & Rockets” via “The Locas Stories” showed up today at #7.

““The Intrepids” is what more comics should be like. It’s vibrant and fun, smart and enthusiastic. Reading it feels like reading something someone is in love with. It has flaws, sure, but being creator owned you can feel the very soul of the creators being poured into it. I wish more comics felt this way. I wish more readers of comics would give books like “The Intrepids” a chance, because I think they’d feel the passion too…”
