Rick Altergott's The Doofus Omnibus For nearly two decades, Rick Altergott has been entertaining select comics enthusiasts with his character Doofus, a short, pudgy, weirdo and jerk who lives in Flowertown... Cartoon Flophouse I’m a big fan of Michael Aushenker’s El Gato comics (www.elgatocomics.com), but I had no idea how good a cartoonist he really was until I read his absolutely fabulous collection, CARTOON FLOPHOUSE. JLA #92 It's "Hard-Travelling Heroes Redux" as the JLA take a shape-shifting alien on a tour of the world. Charles Burn's Black Hole #11 I’ve been afraid of cartoonist Charles Burns’ work ever since I first encountered his unsettling comix in an issue of RAW almost two decades ago. Superman Birthright #7 This miniseries is a retelling of Superman's origin, combining some details from the Silver Age with the John Byrne version-- not always comfortably, as this issue shows. Fables #22 A self-contained story which has Cinderella going to Paris for a mysterious liaison that may involve the betrayal of Fabletown into the hands of the Adversary. Swamp Thing: A Murder of Crows (Book 4) ...Alan Moore had been working since he started writing Swamp Thing comics for DC back in the early 80’s, and the book also concluded Moore’s long-running Swamp Thing story arc, “American Gothic.” Ultimate X-Men #42 New Mutants continues and the big question is, which mutant will turn up this issue? Magneto Returns in X-Men Legacy #209 Xavier clings to life... again. Invincible #48 Although part of the issue was played for laughs, it progressed real fast into drama and higher stakes Invincible #49 Cyborg zombies attack giant radioactive bugs.
