this one's for the ladies

the ten cutest comic book creators of 2004. (via the beat)

speaking of comics, i got a good haul today. by the way, for those of you not on the chapel hill comics mailing list, they're moving into the old love and peace storefront on franklin street (by moshi moshi and med deli, across from cd alley and internationalist), probably sometime in march.

here's what i got (i haven't read it all yet):
--y the last man #30--oh man, i really like this series.
--powers #8--ditto!
--fables #33--again!
--luba #10--crazy melodrama! (not in the bad way.)
--sip #70--katchoo and david got married. i hardly even care about this anymore, sadly.
--plastic man #14--meh.
--pigtale #1--looks to have cute art. i haven't read it yet.

i also got the ex machina trade, and as long as i was on a vaughn kick, i picked up the first little book from his old marvel series (runaways). it's about a group of kids who discover their parents are supervillains and i quite liked it. i also picked up the first dork collection (who's laughing now?) b/c i don't have much of that material, and the first trade from the new ashley wood series, lore, which looks pretty interesting, if it doesn't go too over the top.

but alas, homework beckons, and comic-reading must wait for the moment.
