Forgive me if I am distracted, but wouldn't you be if such a bundle of cuteness came and started to live with you? Meet Sassy, our new puppy-dog. She's almost 3 years old, a hound mix (hound is the only identifiable breed in her) and is super sweet, pretty mellow, and big fan of getting scratched behind the ears.
I'm celebrating Vetran's Day over at Geek Buffet today with my list of recommened WWI reading.
But, let's get down to some books, ok? Earlier this summer, I blogged about DC Comics new imprint, Minx. I have now had the chance to read two more books in the series.
Clubbing Andi Watson and Josh Howard
Exiled to her grandparent's Lake District golf resor after a minor incident involving a club, a fake ID, the cops, and a school, night, Charlotte is set for a summer of drudgery. But then, a woman trying to tell her something is found murdered, drained of blood, with some weird symbol carved into her arm. The police rule it as suicide, the Charlotte and her friend Howard think differently.
Vaguely reminiscent of Hot Fuzz, the ending left me a big underwhelmed.
I really liked the drawing style of clear, bold lines, with lots of large blocks of space.
Re-Gifters by Mike Carey, Sonny Liew, and Marc Hempel
Dixie is hapkido (a Korean martial art) fanatic. Living on the edge of LA's Koreatown, she battles the usual high school crap of boys and the urban crap of which side the street it's ok for Koreans to walk on.
In a daring move to get the guy, she spends her tournament entry fee on a statue of a Korean warrior. The guy promptly gives it to the prettiest girl in school. Heart in the gutter, with no way to enter the tournament, Dixie needs to find her missing ki, and fast.
A most fantastic story, this is my favorite Minx title so far. Very well done. I love Dixie's prickly character and the very real story arc.

I keep forgetting to put up a link to this.

Unless, of course I remembered to put up a link to it and then forgot that I'd put up the link already. In which case I would be forgetting that I'd remembered to link to it.
It's Marc Hempel back on Sandman, sort of....
