Yesterday, I wandered over to New England Comic Con, which didn't really make up for me missing New York Comic Con last week, but I did get a lot of $5 trades! (Several of which I plan to review here-- when I finally get through the backlog of other comics I want to review /o\) So I figure it's time for my second In My Pull, featuring many of my NECC scores, and a few I've obtained since the last one. Amazon links and descriptions under the cut.
Suburban Glamour: Life's tough when you're a teenager - homework, boy trouble, and
meddling parents. So when you throw in imaginary friends turned real,
monster attacks, and faerie magic - well, that's just not fair, is it?
Suburban Glamour follows Astrid Johnson as she and her best friend Dave
get caught in a faerie family battle that stretches back through the
centuries. Modern teenage life meets age-old magic in this story from
the co-creator of Phonogram!
Phonogram: Rue Britannia: Britannia is ten years dead. Phonomancer David Kohl hadn't spared his
old patron a thought for almost as long... at which point his mind
starts to unravel. Can he discover what's happened to the Mod-Goddess of
Britpop while there's still something of himself left? Dark
modern-fantasy in a world where music is magic, where a song can save
your life or end it.
Bad Girls: It's tough being the new girl in town. Starting over at a new school. Not
having any friends. Especially when the popular girls all have
super-powers! Lauren is the new girl in the mall-and-beach town
of San Narciso, CA. Even though this is her third high school in two
years, she's determined to call this one home. But she quickly finds
herself trying to navigate the minefield of the teenage social
hierarchy! Should she hang with the outcasts or with a clique of
super-powered popular girls? What mystery lies just beneath the school's
brand-new walls? And through it all, what to wear?
Hopeless Savages: Greatest Hits: It's the total swerval return of the First Family of Punk! Dirk Hopeless
and Nikki Strange went from the parties, touring, and recording studios
of rock stardom to the quiet of the suburbs, but that's no reason they
can't still be themselves. Join Dirk and Nikki, along with their kids
Rat, Arsenal, Twitch, and Zero as they bounce their way through
kidnapping plots, first love, and international intrigue in this massive
collection of the Eisner Award-nominated series!
Dead@17: When 17-year-old Nara Kilday is murdered at the hands of a demonic cult,
the quiet suburb of Darlington Hills is turned upside down. But when
Nara inexplicably returns form the dead, what seems like a miracle at
first may in fact spell the end for mankind!
The Dreamer: Creator Lora Innes writes and illustrates the tale of 17-year-old
Beatrice "Bea" Whaley, a student who begins having vivid dreams about a
brave and handsome soldier named Alan Warren... a member of an elite
group known as Knowlton's Rangers that fought during the Revolutionary
War. Prone to keeping her head in the clouds, Bea welcomes her nightly
adventures in 1776; filled with danger and romance they give her much to
muse about the next day. But it is not long before Beatrice questions
whether her dreams are simply dreams or something more...
Supermarket: Brian Wood's fast-paced, dangerous world of Supermarket is back in its
second printing, with a new format! In the future world of Supermarket,
it's the literal truth. Legitimate and black-market economies rule the
City, overseen by the vying factions of the Yakuza and Porno Swede crime
families. Convenience store clerkette and 16-year old suburban wise-ass
Pella Suzuki suddenly finds herself in the middle of it all, heir to an
empire she couldn't possibly inherit - but hitmen on both sides aren't
taking any chances!
The War at Ellsmere: Faith Erin Hicks brings her manga-fueled art style and pop-culture
sensibilities to girl's boarding schools in her latest book The War at
Ellsmere. Jun is the newest scholarship student at the prestigious
Ellsmere girls' boarding school - but to a lot of the privileged rich
girls, scholarship student is just a code for charity case. Fortunately,
Jun has an ally in the quirky Cassie, who tells her legends of a
beautiful creature that lives in the forest outside of the school.
Between queen bees and mythical beasts, Jun has quite the school year
ahead of her.
