CCG to Indefinitely Suspend Comic Book Conservation Service
Nice move. It's good to see that they do listen to their customers, at least sometimes.

Alan Moore.....Or Less

Peter David hits the nail on the head when he says "If I see one more article about Alan Moore being "swindled" by DC or how Hollywood has destroyed his graphic novel, I'm going to go on a vendetta of my own."

Well said.

Great Read

You can tell by my last post that I like Red Sonja, but I want to stress the fact that this is really a great book. Michael Oeming writes these stories like he's lived them personally and Mel Rubi's art (especially his splash pages) are a beautiful thing to behold. I'm actually enjoying this title more then Conan and I love the new Conan series to this point.

If you're late to the game on this title your LCS can probably still get the early issues from Diamond, and if not you can definitely get them of Ebay for a song. The newest issue is #8 and it's out this week. It's the start of a new stories arc so it's a good jumping on point if you don't feel like getting the back issues. Here's a preview of #8.

LOVELESS #5 (MR) - Love the art and the writing.

SGT ROCK THE PROPHECY #3 (OF 6) - One word: Kubert

ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #28 - The best on-going Ultimate title.

WOLVERINE #40 - I buy it because I'm a sucker.

I Really Like This Book

Fear Agent is a comic book that's a throwback to a less serious, less "gritty reality" time in comics. It's just pure fun. Check out this Newsarama interview with the creator Rick Remender. Then go to your local comic book shop and pick up #1, 2 & 3 (3 comes out today). If your LCS doesn’t have copies of 1 and 2 they can still back order them from Diamond.
