Mark's Box - December 2009

I haven't posted anything in awhile, so I'm going to do some quick posts to update what has been in my boxes the past few months.  Also trying out this Amazon Associates thing which will hopefully make oit easier for me to do these posts. Finding decent pictures and reviews can sometimes be a pain. Maybe Amazon can help. So, without further ado....

Criminal by Ed Brubaker & Sean Phillips - I've been wanting to get caught up on Ed Brubaker's older stuff and this crime series is supposed to be excellent. I've got quite the stack of Brubaker sitting unread on my shelf. Incognito, Sleeper, Criminal. I really need to find some time to dig into this stuff.










The Summit of the Gods by Yumemakura Baku & Jiro Taniguchi - I have basically decided to buy any book that Ponent Mon releases. Especially if Jiro Taniguchi is involved. I'm not particularly interested in the subject matter of this series, but I have yet to be disappointed by a Ponent Mon book. Someone there really knows what they are doing.









The Misadventures of Jane by JHG Freeman & Norman Pett - I am obsessed with all things British, so I couldn't pass up the chance to find out more. Jane was a World War II-era pinup and comic strip character that was very popular with soldiers. Possibly because she always seemed to end up missing some clothing. This was an entertaining read, but not brilliant. A nice peak into the past.
