Mark's Box - July 2009

Low Moon by Jason - Quite a hefty box this month. It was tough picking my three favorites. Up first we have the new book from Jason. He won the Eisner award in 2007 and 2008 for Best US Edition of International Material (Non-Japan) and is nominated again this year. Low Moon will probably be nominated next year. So, you know the industry types love him and so do I. This will be the next book I start reading. Check it out on Amazon here.Sleeper, Season One by Ed Brubaker & Sean Phillips - I read a couple issues of Sleeper, Season Two awhile back and it was quite excellent. So, I decided to wait until all the trades were released to get the whole story. This story spins off from Point Blank and then moves to Sleeper, Season Two which should be here soon. I can't wait to dig in to the whole thing. Amazon has it here.
Ythaq: The Forsaken World by Christophe Arleston & Adrien Floch - Marvel has struck a deal with a French comic company called Soleil. Marvel is bringing several of Soleil's titles to the US and Ythaq is the second I have picked up. The art looks amazing and I am really looking forward to reading this science fiction epic. Check it out at Amazon here.
