Lucky Thirteen! We touch on some continuing books and some new titles out this week.
As always, I welcome recommendations for new titles to try out or review.
UPDATE: I realized, after I had the podcast put to bed, that I hadn’t explained really why I thought Action Comics #2 is the best cover for the week. It’s certainly not a Big Action (so to speak) cover, but it has a restrained fury, a menace, that works on a number of levels — the menace of guns on Clark, and the observers in the window, and the restraints and headgear, but also the menace of this alien powerhouse, barely restrained but threatening possible bloody violence on his captors. It captures some of what Morrison’s trying to bring to the Superman mythos quite nicely.

Yeppers, Morningglories continues to be the best of the western comics right now. Manga pace and story telling with western art.
As to suggestions:
Yotsaba and !
FreakAngels
20th Century Boys
I’ll check out Yotsaba and !
I need to get caught up on FreakAngels. (Heck, I could probably do a whole episode, or add a segment, on webcomics.)
It looks like 20th Century Boys is over.
No, not yet, maybe in Japan it is, but issues are still coming into the US.
I think you or K have the first several issues of Yotsaba & ! I brought down.
I’ll take a look.
