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!

Now’s your chance!
Nick Marino of AudioShocker very kindly let me guest star on his superfun weekly podcast with Wetmoon and Shadoweyes creator Ross Campbell and Nick’s his dulcet toned girlfriend Justique as they talked about X-Men The Animated Series, Season One, Episode 2 (we talked about other things too, but I was mostly there as the nostalgic counter point to tearing the animated series to pieces).
Part 1 went up today, and because I can’t shut up, there will be a part 2, going up on Saturday October 9th. Check them out if you’ve been dying to get more of me (I mean, who isn’t?!).
Nick, Justique, and Ross are planning to watch and discuss the entire series (good luck dudes) and I’ll be popping in from time to time because who doesn’t want to be the “guest star”?
Ah, animated series Rogue, my first love.

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!
A gorgeous piece I commissioned for this project from up and coming artist Tara O'Connor
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.

So this is sort of cheating…again. But I’m sure when you take a look you can see why I didn’t want to separate these two completely fantastic DV8 #6 panels by Rebekah Isaacs. And in truth, I worked hard already on eliminating the rest of the book, which was so gorgeous that it had panels on literally every page that could have qualified for ‘panel of the week’. I love this book. I’m probably going to cry…or at least mourn in some way when this series is up in two months.
So here we go, from DV8 #8, with art by Rebekah Isaacs.

Wonder Woman says:
I haven’t been dedicated about trying to build my twitter…but I think maybe it’s time to get serious. Follow me on twitter and I promise…nothing…except that I only twitter if there’s news/new posts or if legitimately think I’ve got a shot at being reasonably funny.
Give it a try…you can always drop me if it doesn’t work out…although in truth I hate that…so if you’re not sure maybe you should just stay put…hmmm…this didn’t go as planned. Regardless! Follow me on twitter! 79semifinalist.
