What Are Your Recent Purchases? What Are You Reading Now?

I just read the Powers trade that I bought on saturday. The sroty was called Forever. I really liked it, but I think I would have been completly fine not having read a comic that had two monkey sex scenes, one of them being monkey rape. Other than that it was great.

visited my other lcs and picked up:

batman 680
witchblade 103
umbrella academy: dallas 5

all for $1 each

The main thing that bothered me was the way everyone was drawn. The Joker looked like a 60 year old man Plus it was more focused on a guy named Jonny Frost who follows the Joker around. I just did not enjoy it.

I finished reading The Walking Dead vol 9....loved it...on to vol. 10 and 11.
