Comics Are Expensive returns to Occasional Supeheroine this week, looking at the opening volleys from two brand new books and the second volume of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ superior Noir comic, Criminal. Check it out if you’re into this sort of thing, and (as always) if there are any books you know of that I should be reading, by all means let me know via email or the comments section.

No B-Sides this week, I’m afraid, as work utterly owns both my soul and time. It’s fun work, with lots of game design-type things on my plate to play with, but I fear I’m going to have to rend both time and space to get it all done on schedule. Apologies for any sudden reality collapse you may experience this weekend.
