- Samurai Executioner Vol.9
I love me my historically-accurate samurai action. - Luba: The Book of Ofelia
The new Love & Rockets book from Gilbert Hernandez, whom I continue to have mixed feelings about. (I think he's a great storyteller -- better even than his brother Jaime, which is saying something -- but his regular cast is just too large and unwieldy to really resonate with readers who aren't memorizing the stories and construction their own flowcharts.) - Flaming Carrot Special
Photocomics from Bob Burden -- just when you thought the world couldn't get any weirder. - Keif Llama, Xenotech #5
More Matt Howarth skiffy goodness. - Sonic X #6
For Thing 1. I'm not proud; I want him to read as much stuff as possible, and he loves Sonic. - Teen Titans Go! #29
Mostly for Thing 1, but I always read it first. And I semi-hate to admit it, but it's by far my favorite long-johns comic of about the past decade. (Which isn't really a surprise, give my feelings about underwear perverts.) - Top 10: The 49ers
I waited for the paperback because I'm cheap, but this has been getting great reviews, and I liked the regular Top 10 series. - Sonic the Hedgehog #160
Again, for Thing 1. - Subversive Beauty
The new Luis Royo art book, bought mostly for work purposes. - The Middle Man
Humorous adventure story, bought because of a good review. (I think from Comics Should Be Good, which I recommend highly.) - She-Hulk: Single Green Female
Also bought because of a good Comics Should Be Good review (if I remember rightly), and because part of the current series by the same team was posted on Scans Daily. So I spent my own money on something because someone scanned a piece of it and gave it away for free. (Somewhere, Cory Doctorow is smiling.)

Haul from the 3/30 Comics Shop Trip
I'm running very late this week, but this is the good stuff I snarfed up at Midtown Comics (my shop in Manhattan) the last time I was there:
