This week’s highlights, with commentary from the NFNT gang:
Barry’s Best Buddy (TOON Books, 9781935179214)
Caitlin: I had no idea Renee French was doing a TOON Book – that could potentially be really weird (in a good way) and fun to look at.
Batman: the City of Owls (DC Comics, 9781401237776)
Traci: Yay! Â I’ve been looking forward to Batman: Â The City of Owls! Â I’m loving Scott Snyder’s run on Batman. Â Definitely my fave of the New 52, for sure.
Vagabond Volume 34 Â (Viz, 9781421549309)
Jenny: Vagabond volume 34 can’t get in my hands fast enough.
Vampire Princess Miyu TV – Complete Collection (Maiden Japan)
Jenny: I’m interested to see if and how the Vampire Princess Miyu TV series fleshes out the story hinted at in the OVAs.
