October 2008
Comics of note (Strongly recommended or better, usually) will be in
boldface, with an asterisk if they're Strongly Recommended. While
most of my reviews are spoiler-free capsules, the occasional full review will
be underlined. This semester, I'm able to get to the comic shop early
enough to read the First Looks while pulls are being sorted, but sometimes
the First Looks are late. Capsules for the next week's books will be in
blue, while late-read Capsules for books of that week
that I simply didn't buy will be in green. Note,
this is the last month in which I will have First Looks, as Marvel has
discontinued the program. Replacing it is the "other media" category, which
will use purple text.
