In which Shawn looks at the New Releases and lets you know which books she is most excited about!

1) Daredevil Black and White #1

Jason Latour does the art on an 8-page story written by Peter Milligan. Latour has a lot of projects in the works and is getting some much deserved attention with this book. I can’t wait for Loose Ends and Noche Roja. There are some other talented people working on the book too, like Rick Spears, Mick Bertilorenzi, Ann Nocenti and David Aja.

2) Baltimore The Plague Ships #1

Vampires done right. Thank you Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden.

3) Dave Stevens The Rocketeer Artists Edition HC

This is an oversized hardcaover that reprints the artist proofs of The Rocketeer. It is black and white and meant to look like it is on Blueline paper. It is a pretty impressive book. And at $100 it is also a pretty expsensive book. It would make a wonderful Christmas gift for any Rocketeer fan. It makes you look at the work in a completely different light.

4) Cinderella From Fabletown with Love TP

If you didn’t check out this six-issue mini-series in singles then you should definitely catch it in trade. It was a fun and entertaining Fables spin-off that focused on one of Cindy’s spy missions. Plus it has an awesome cover by Chrissie Zullo. It was recently announced that DC is doing a sequel!

5) Cars Adventures of Tow Mater #1

Tow Mater is one of my guilty pleasures. I love him so much and yet I feel like I shouldn’t. Mater is such a sweet and endearing character. I just wish that Pixar picked someone other than Larry the Cable Guy to do the voice. This issue is written by Keith R.A. DeCandido and drawn by Travis Hill! The art looks great and I know the story will be fun.
