Once again, our monthly Westfield comics order, with occasional commentary.



Birds of Prey 48

Terry Moore's first real chance to write superheroes. Yes, I know it may suck majorly. But I'll give it a chance.

Dexter's Laboratory 32


For Elayna, of course. :-)

Green Arrow 18
Green Arrow Secret Files 1

I've always been a fan of the Emerald Archer, and I like both Brad Meltzer (writer of the former), and his old college roomie Judd Winick (writer of the latter)

Green Lantern: Evil's Might 3
Powerpuff Girls 31

For Elayna, again.

Supergirl 75


An issue I'm really looking forward to. Peter David's run on this just gets better and better. This has long ago joined Gaiman's Sandman, Ostrander's Spectre, and Robinson's Starman as a great DC run.

Young Justice 50
Codename: Knockout 18


They finally have good artists on this title, something Robert Rodi has deserved for ages.

Fables 6
Transmetropolitan Vol. 7: Spider's Thrash (tpb)

Yeah, it's an amazing comic. But since I know it'll all be collected in trades, I'm content to wait.

Global Frequency 1

New Ellis. May be great. May suck

Amazing Spider-Man 46
Avengers: Kang Dynasty (tpb)

I'm a huge Avengers mark, and this TPB is jammed -- something like thirteen regular issues and an annual in here.

B-Sides 2
Captain Marvel 2
Daredevil 38
Exiles 18
Incredible Hulk 46
Mekanix 1


The art looks terrible. And Claremont hasn't written anything worthwhile in nearly fifteen years. But it's about Kitty Pryde, and it might be worthwhile. I hope.

Peter Parker, Spider-Man 49


Yes! Humberto Ramos takes a month off, and Mark Buckingham fills in. Paul Jenkins finally gets an artist who actually can draw.

Spider-Man / Black Cat: Evil That Men Do 5
X-Statix 4
Alias 15
Apache Skies 4
Sojourn Vol. 2: Dragon's Tale (tpb)

Since Crossgen will always do trades, we're just switching our orders from them to tpb-only. Ruse was the only series good enough to require instant gratification, and Waid's gone now.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales of the Slayers
Reveal Vol. 1 (tpb)

Dark Horse is finally re-entering the anthology market.
Grendel: Red, White & Black 2
Noble Causes: Family Secrets (Oeming cover) 1

Good series, anyway. And Westfield is giving away signed copies to everyone who orders this one. :-)

Tellos: Sons and Moons

Solicited once again. I'll believe it when I see it.

Vampire's Christmas
Strangers in Paradise Vol. III 54
Terry Moore's Paradise Too 10
Girl Genius 8

I love the Foglios, but this book surpasses anything else they've done (although I'd be lying if I denied *ahem* enjoying XXXenophile).

Electric Girl 10
Charm School 6
Gloom Cookie 14
Patrick the Wolf Boy: Another Halloween Special

It's been inconsistent, but Art's a nice guy, and the book has its cute moments.

Me and Edith Head Chapbook

Eisner-nominated, and with Steve Lieber art.

Dork Tower 21
PvP 7
Snapdragons 2
Castle Waiting 16
Blue Monday: Dead Man's Party

Yay! More Chyna!

Hopeless Savages: Ground Zero 4
Mutant, Texas: Tales of Sheriff Ida Red 4


Paul Dini keeps on growing on me. This is a bizarre book (based on the one issue I've read), but fun.

Pounded (tpb)
Furry Ninja High School 2

Kodocha Vol. 4: Sana's Stage (tpb)
Wizard (Wolverine/Phoenix cover) 134
A-G Super Erotic Anthology 5


We're buying it for the articles. Actually, if this one's as bad as the most recent issue, we may just be. But previous issues have been good.

Ultimate Spider-Man Set (#28 & 29)
