New Comics

I'm taking a break from the Stone Arch stuff for a few days.

Got a box of stuff in today: 2 replacement Garfields, a new Sonic the Hedgehog book, Wolverine and Power Pack Digest, and more:

Knights of the Lunch Table 2: The Dragon Players by Frank Cammuso (978-0-439-90323-3). Just as excellent as the first Knights. I love this grade-school variant on the King Arthur legend.

The Lapis Lazuli Crown by Natsuna Kawase (978-1-4012-2120-1) It's manga I found recommended in a few blogs as being good for all ages. I'll have to set it aside to read/review.

The Secret Saturdays 1: The Kur Stone adapted from the Cartoon Network show (978-0-345-51694-7). I bought this one mostly for variety to put on the shelf--it's media-based, not exactly a superhero title, and is supposed to be acceptable for all ages. I've never seen the cartoon to judge the adaptation, but it looks a lot like Tokyopop's cina-manga style. I sure hope the binding holds up better than Tokyopop's.

The 3-2-3 Detective Agency by Fiona Robinson (978-0-8109-8489-9). Another one I culled from blogs/online reviews that I'm putting aside to read. It's hardcover, which is good for physical staying power. The reviews were mixed: Again, I'm hoping for some variety.

Side note: There are now graphic adaptations of the Geronimo Stilton books (which were pretty visual to being with). We've got some, but they're already in circulation.
