An all-new She Has No Head! is up, kids. And I really like this one, so check it out.
I get to rave about the idea of Brian Wood’s upcoming X-Men title while bitching about everything that was wrong with Marvel Divas. Oh, Marvel, how far you’ve come! I feel like a proud parent! 
Kris Anka’s take on Brian Wood’s new X-Men!

I got to review some damn good comics this past week for CBR, check them out! It’s also worth nothing that while you all know I’m a huge sucker for a great cover, I really dislike the cover to Avengers Assemble #11 (not my cuppa, at all!) and yet a great and GORGEOUS book lurks inside. A good reminder to us all that covers don’t always give the best impression!
“Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s “Death of the Family” has gone a long way toward establishing Snyder as a believer in the idea that the very existence of Batman creates and inspires some of his greatest (and most insane) enemies. It’s not a new idea, but it’s one Snyder explores in a more impactful way then I’ve seen from other writers. It’s honestly hard not to get caught up in it, which is a mark of fantastic storytelling…” continue reading at CBR
“Kelly Sue DeConnick is joined by artist Filipe Andrade for an incredibly enjoyable and gorgeous issue of “Captain Marvel.” If this issue is any indication Marvel may have found the exact “dream team” this book has needed all along…” continue reading at CBR
“I’m not traditionally a big Avengers team book reader, but Kelly Sue DeConnick and Stefano Caselli have hooked me with their super fun, gorgeous “Avengers Assemble” run. In “Avengers Assemble” #11, DeConnick closes an arc that flawlessly mixes superheroics and humor with the same tongue-in-cheek self-awareness of “The Avengers” film — not a bad strategy at all…” continue reading at CBR
That’s it for this (last) week – up THIS week – YOUNG AVENGERS!!! – so excited!

As I said last week I’m going to try to get back to doing a better job of cross-posting my content across the web here, so here are the reviews I did for CBR this week, enjoy!
ALL-NEW X-MEN #5
“Against all odds, in large part due to the A-list creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen, the very weird idea at the center of the “All-New X-Men” series is working like gangbusters five issues in. This issue, as the cover suggests, spends a lot of time with young Jean Grey as she deals with her future death(s). It’s handled quite well — and erases all of my concerns in issue #2 that the series would gloss over these kind of complications….”

PUNK ROCK JESUS #6
“Sean Murphy’s “Punk Rock Jesus” has been an incredible ride and it certainly doesn’t stop with this final issue. A clever idea that could have easily gone awry, Murphy’s story of a clone of Jesus Christ raised in the public eye was constantly unpredictable, almost always in a good way….”

DELPHINE (COLLECTED HARDCOVER)
“Richard Sala’s beautifully illustrated “Delphine,” an extremely loose reinterpretation of “Snow White” told from the perspective of the unnamed (and more modern) “Prince Charming,” is delightfully dark and mysterious. One part comic book and one part fever dream, there’s a lot to like in this hardback collected edition from Fantagraphics….”

I’ve been meaning to post about this very cool event MIX 2012 sponsored by Columbus College of Art & Design for a long while now, but have been so swamped that now I look at my calendar and it is upon us!
So it’s terribly late notice for those of you not in the area, but if you are in the area, you really should consider attending this amazing new event organized by the Columbus College of Art & Design and featuring two days of symposiums, a 24-hour comics marathon, and an exhibition. The schedule looks great, and when Chris Ware is your keynote speaker, you know you’ve done something right!
It’s held at the Columbus College of Art & Design campus and begins on October 3rd and runs through October 6th. You can get all the details at the link and if you’re in the area, you should definitely head over there!

So in honor of the end of the Olympics (sniff) – which I somehow both watched a ton of and yet feel like I missed so much of what I wanted to see – I’m re-posting this old Rabid Lamb comic – about swimming (of course!)
Some of you may not even know I did a daily (M-F) comic strip for a year. Ugh. A year. Yup. It was called Rabid Lamb and most of the time it sucked. But occasionally it was funny.
For your (hopeful) amusement:
If you must have more, you can head to my website, where there’s a whole “Rabid Lamb” section…it’s just the hits, but I promise you that’s a good thing.

I always liked some of my Olympic ones (that’s right…these were done FOUR YEARS AGO – during Bejing!)
Here’s one of my favorites for your amusement:

New She Has No Head! today, kids.
And as the column today will tell you, I’m doing THIS new thing…cause you know…I don’t already have enough to do.
Other things you should know, She Has No Head! is going to have to be on hiatus for August…I just have to focus on THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING stuff (sorry!) but it’ll be back full swing in September. I hope Sue and I will still get an episode or two of 3 Chicks up in August, but no promises!
Also, I DO promise to get you the last two days of “30 Days Of Superheroines”…I swear it’s gonna happen. This week even!
