jeffrey brown is my favorite favorite favorite cartoonist. his relationship books are touching, his superheros are hilarious and his kittens are adorable. this book is all about the death and return of brown's hero parody Bighead. i was really happy to see the revenge of Cycloctopus, the sequel to my favorite story from the project superior anthology, "aw shit it's Cycloctopus!"

we lost the war but not the battle is a "revengeful comic" by Michel Gondry. it has a lot of the awesome creative weirdness of one of Gondry's films but none of the emotional depth. but who needs feelings when you have a tank made out of a tractor and a bazooka or a car ride through a vagina?

geoff johns is still entertaining me by fleshing out silver age stories and ideas. peter tomasi continues to knock me on my ass with glc every month. this issue is the first part of the new star sapphire arc. guy gardner has girls problems, mongul attacks a spaceship and inadvertently creates a new star saphire and the guardians send kyle, arisa and sodam as ambassadors to the previously mentioned sapphires. patrick gleason draws an awesome mongul, especially now that mongul is using his sinestro rings to hold his severed arm in almost the right place....

x-men original sin is about including an idea mark millar did in ultimate x-men years ago into the regular continuity. if nothing more interesting than this is planned i'm going to be very disappointed in mike carey. i rarely enjoy the x-men, but he, brubaker and fraction are doing great things. if he starts sucking, i'll let you know...
