Comics of Interest



From Charles LePage's ComicList, these are the comics that I find interesting. All of which will hit comic shops this week.

AFTERBURN COMICS
Little White Mouse Vol 1 Perfect Collection TPB (resolicited), $12.95

Good to see this book about a young woman stranded alone on a space station finally arrive in the new manga sized digest format. The artist's style has a heavy manga influence, so should make the shift to smaller size incredibly well.

DEL REY
Othello Vol 1 GN, $10.95
Wallflower Vol 1 GN, $10.95

I picked up these two volumes at a book store chain nearly two weeks ago and they look promising.

Othello is about a girl with a split personality, one a nice innocent girl who lets others run over, the other a hard nosed "take no crap" force. Seeing how the different sides of herself relate to the people in her life should be interesting.

Wallflower is about a young girl who three young teenage boys try to teach to be a proper woman. The art looks quite impressive, and I'm looking forward to covering it and Othello when time permits.

RENAISSANCE PRESS
Amelia Rules Superheroes #3 (Of 6), $2.95

I really love Amelia Rules! , a PEANUTS like series about a young girl as she makes friends and has adventures in a new town. I'd like to try this miniseries, but wasn't preordering at the time, so will have to wait on the hopefully eventual trade.


VIZ

Video Girl Ai Vol 4 TPB 2nd Ed, $9.99


I really dig this Xanadu like series, about a young angel like figure whose purpose is to help young people win their true loves. Yet when she and her charge find themselves falling for each other, they find trouble from those up above who think they know better.
