Knights of the Jaguar - NO PRICE LISTED - order #NOV031292
This comic, a prequen to the upcoming film "The Legend of Diablo," was
written by that film's author, Robert napon, and Mike Choi and Udon. In
ancient Mexico, only the shapeshifting werecat Knights of The Jaguar stand
against the demon Azar's plage of the Aztec Empire. In the present, FBI
agent Gil Vega is plaged by dreams of this, and wonders how they connect him
to the clandestine agency that has recruited him. Now, the book is coming
out in January, which means the movie is coming out at or around the same
time. And anyone in the movie biz will tell you what that usually means...

Alice GN - $8.95 - order #NOV031943
I don't normally post about reprints or collections, but this is unique and
delightful enough to warrant exception. This adaptation of Lewis Carroll's
classic, "Alice in Wonderland," was done by Lela Dowling for the comic
anthology "The Dreamery." It's a marvelous version that I can't reccommend
highly enough.

RQW #2 NOV032262F
by Ray Friesen
'After escaping the clutches of a mad scientist's gift shop, Mellville,
Raymond, Fidget, and the gang stumble into a Viking-led military coup,
can't read their map, and get captured by owls planning world
domination! What a hoot!'
The online comic looks pretty amateurish: almost adequately drawn but
badly written. But with a penguin character and evil owls, it's furry,
or at least feathery.

Books for months on end). For the first time, this volume will include
an all-new 8-page, full-color comic story entitled "A Slice of Eye,"
starring Salvador Dali!'
