The Ettatorial for the Week of 6-10-09
A slow and small week of releases this week for yours truly, resulting in a trade paperback selection for you instead of issue picks. While I can’t say the 2 books I purchased were bad, neither were anything special to nominate them for books of the week. So instead, enjoy my alternate selection.
Noble Causes Archives Volume 2 is your pick for this week. Following up on his Volume One, this massive trade collects the rest of the Noble Causes series. I originally recommended the first volume way back in November of 2008, and after getting done with this volume, felt the need to do the same. The price on this alone is enough to make it a bargain, with an astounding 598 pages for a cover price of just $19.99 (or cheaper online hint hint). Just like the first volume, the book is printed in the black and white “Marvel Essentials” style to make the book financially viable. Finishing the series off, this volume includes the 5 year jump to the future and the 2 part Extended Family mini-series that had guest writers and artists such as Brian Vaughan and Geoff Johns contributing to the series. Just as good as volume one, this superhero soap opera is an entertaining read. Kudos to Jay Faerber and Image in releasing this terrific series in such an inexpensive and complete format.
There you have it folks, your pick for the week. We’ll see you back here next week, same time, same channel.
