Top Picks
Masks #1 |Â Chris Robertson & Alex Ross
In case you didn’t read my preview of Dynamite’s Masks #1, you should know that I am really excited for this book. Not only is it a pulpy crossover featuring Dynamite’s best and brightest (or most menacing and murkiest, depending on how you look at it) in an alternate history version of 1938 New York, but it features lushly painted interiors from Alex Ross. So, if the prospect of Zorro, the Spider, the Shadow, the Green Hornet, Kato, and others fighting fascists trying to take over America doesn’t appeal to you, then, well, you guys have changed, man. You’ve changed.
Fatale #10 | Ed Brubaker & Sean Phillips
If you’re not reading Fatale already, then you need to sit down and think long and hard about what you’ve been doing with your comic-buying life. Ed Brubaker deftly mixes the best parts of crime fiction with Lovecraft-esque lore to make a deeply unsettling, but highly compelling story of sex, drugs, mystery and murder. And the best part – the story keeps getting bigger. Do yourself a favor and snag #10 (and issues #1-9 while you’re at it).
Tower Chronicles, Vol. 2Â | Matt Wagner & Simon Bisley
Our stalwart, brooding hero John Tower managed to de-fang the Piranha Killer in Volume 1 with the cynical-but-able assistance of FBI agent Alicia Hardwicke, but now they’re back, travelling the globe to kick ass, take names and perform all manner of supernatural contract killings. And, really, when you have art from Simon Bisley, a story by Matt Wagner and a gorgeously painted cover from none other than Alex Ross, what else do you need?

aw, come on guys…you’re killing my budget!!!
seriously though…I second the “fatale” endorsement. if you aren’t reading this and you want to start, make sure you break your piggy bank before heading to the comic store (or @comiXology if you’re a digital geek) ’cause you’re going to end up dropping serious dime on this series.
