Thunderbolts (Ellis Run) - Proof that Civil War wasn't complete shit. If you're a fan of Norman Osborn, you'll love this comic.

Incognito Bad Influences - A bit like if Raymond Chandler wrote a superhero story. Would definitely recommend.

Buffy Season 9 #1 - Great that it's nowhere near of a clusterfuck as the ending of S8 was. Still wary though.

The Incognito sequel? I've been waiting to get that.

Scott Pilgrim volumes look interesting so far. Definitely more backstory than the movie.

Scalped?

Is it as nasty as it sounds?

Not really.

  May I have another recommendation?

I also like the footnote "blog" page in the book where he listed Death Note and Azumanga Daioh among his favorite mangas.

Scalped has been on my "to-read" list awhile now, it's about high time I actually checked it out. So many comics, so little time.

The last two comics I read were Amy; the second volume of Le Pouvoir des Innocents by Hirn & Brunschwig and Le Trepassé de Kermellec, the first volume of L'Epervier by Pellerin.

Volume 2 in Brunschwig & Hirn's political thriller about the mayoral election in NY, manages to be even more gripping than the first: The characters grow and become more involving  and the mysterious conspiracy becomes more complex and byzantine with each new revelation. I'm convinced that this comic would be a success if someone bothered to translate it into English. Still three volumes to go, but this is already one of the greatest comics I've read in a long time.

As for L'Epervier, it's a classic adventure tale of finest quality, complete with a charismatic hero, falsely accused for a crime he didn't commit, a colorful supporting cast and dastardly villains.  Great, very entertaining stuff.

The recent one I've been reading is Shokora no Mahou (Magic Chocolate). It's like a sweet version of xxxHolic

Last week I read Sleeper Book 2 and yesterday I read New X-Men Volume 1 and Incognito Bad Influence. I'm obviously a Brubaker/Sean Phillips fan plus I have Criminal: Coward that I'll be reading soon.

Recently I read the second volume of 100 Bullets.  A very compelling read indeed, I liked the first volume but the second one was even better, mostly because there's a sense that a huge, sweeping storyline is about to unfold from the short-stories in the first volume. Agent Graves, who at first seemed to be Nemesis incarnate, providing those who had been wronged in the past with the means of getting even, is clearly working towards some specific goal, it shall be interesting to see what it is.

I could easily see 100 Bullets become a TV-show on HBO or something. I'd watch it.

My absolute favorite comic book series.

Over the last few days I've read:
New X-Men Volume 1
Incognito Bad Influences
DMZ Volume 10- I don't really like it when they do the whole "let's tell short stories of all these other characters" thing but they did it so well this time, even though the main character was pushed to a small part at the end of the book. Good comeback though.
