Greg Burgas called this on his What I Bought post last week, and I really can’t disagree.  It makes me chuckle.

 

Puppets! Monkeys! Awesome!

A new three part series began today on She Has No Head! called the Ladies Comics Project in which I got a bunch of ladies – those familiar with comics and not – to read a comic book and tell me what they think.  Head on over to CSBG and check it out!

Update:  Some really nice coverage of the post by The Beat.  Thanks Heidi!

For a big project I’m working on for She Has No Head! I had to pull together images of all the comics I was planning to buy in the month of September…and since I’m frequently asked about my pull list, I thought since I’d already done the work that I’d share it with you fine folks here.

You can click to enlarge on all of the images below.

Additionally I bought Secret Warriors #20, Batman: Brave & The Bold #21, Crossed: Family Values #4, Joe The Barbarian #7, Heralds (hardcover), a new Betty & Veronica and a 1993 Betty & Veronica (long story), Last Days of American Crime 3, Justice League: Generation Lost #10 (thanks to the sweet Cliff Chiang cover), Batman #703, and The Muppet Show #10.

What was the best book I read this month?  Well, taking Madame Xanadu out of contention as it hasn’t released yet, I’d say it was easily Stumptown #4 followed by DV8 #6.  What was the worst book?  Hmmm.  Such a tough choice as there were a lot of mediocre books this month, but I’d say Star Spangled War Stories #1 was a horrifically lame train wreck of both writing and art, but with a fairly gorgeous Brian Bolland cover, which only made the insides MORE disappointing.
