Hank Howard, Pizza Detective in Caligula’s Safe
– This sounds dumb, but it’s $1, and drawn by David Lapham, so there’s a safe bet that I’ll get something out of it. This is another Bad Idea publicity stunt – apparently you can only buy this book on Wednesday, but that was part of my plan anyway.

X-Corp
– Back when Grant Morrison first introduced the idea of X-Corp in his run, I thought it was a good, if under-explored concept. I like that we’re finally getting a title that’s going to look at the business side of the mutant empire. I only hope that it’s not like every other story that’s ever featured Monet prominently, and it doesn’t become about her brother.

This week I’m looking forward to new issues of Grendel: Devil’s Odyssey, Guardians of the Galaxy, Resident Alien: Your Ride’s Here, Rorschach, The Silver Coin, Star Wars, and X-Factor.

Plus a shout to Comics Nexus alum Greg Manuel for his Alleycat 2.0: Pilot out now and available for purchase here.

Felix Thomas is the second to don the mask and cape of the legendary ALLEYCAT of Nebelung Bay City. But, is he ready for what he’ll learn once he comes face to face (to face to face) with the insidious CERBERUS?!

All-ages anthro action and adventure is here: ALLEYCAT 2.0!
