Jonathan Ross, who's described in shorthand as "the British David Letterman," is a huge comics nerd, and has put his creative energy into a comics project with noted artist Tommy Lee Edwards. Turf is a tale weaving together several compelling genres: vampires, aliens, and gangsters, all vying for supremacy in prohibition-era New York City. But the cacophony of ideas may be more ambitious than successful. More

Gladstone's School for World Conquerors is off to a promising start. The high concept is basically "Harry Potter for supervillains," with a healthy dash of The OC

The several plots in Forgetless swirl around an event: some sort of epic club in New York that's about to open its doors for the last time. The book is rife with modern pop culture-isms—such as texting, tweeting, and viral video provocateurs—and age-old truisms—such as disaffected youth in search of counterfeit identification for the purposes of obtaining alcohol and such.

I don't want to dance around my main irritation with this book: It's being presented as a collaboration between noted writer Robert Kirkman (Walking Dead, Invincible, Astounding Wolf-Man) and artist Todd McFarlane. More
