My shop got shorted on the new Casanova - Avaritia sadly. But they said they'd make sure to pull me one when it comes in later in the week so thats ok then. Did get one of the nuDC books, Static Shock. It has Virgil living in New York instead of Dakota. And being remotely mentored by Hardware which is cool. He also has two sisters and both parents which is definitely a change from the animated show. And I think one from the Milestone series. Its being written by Scott McDaniel, who I can't recall from anything else and John Rozum, whose excellent Xombi relaunch ended just last week...

iZombie continues on with Gwen's secret monsterism being exposed to her monster-hunter boyfriend. Plus the whole town under attack from brainless zombies. Another issue with damn near every character getting at least a little face time...

Over to Marvel, the Thunderbolts escapees find themselves somehow having traveled back in time. To WW2. Where they end up teamed with Captain America and Namor fighint Nazis. And I must say there are few things finer then seeing Namor shouting Imperius Rex while smashing Nazis...

Over on Heroes for Hire I still hate Kyle Hotz' art. But I love how Elektra explains her ability to sucker the Purple Man into thinking she was mind-controlled. "I'm a ninja". Like duh man...
