The Weekly Trade #9

Apologies for no content yesterday, I was distracted playing DCU Online. Might do two articles next Wednesday to compensate. Don't hold your breath or anything though.

Alright, let's get this over with so I can get back to gaming. What I have I gone and bought this week?

Dracula: The Company of Monsters (paperback)
Written by Kurt Busiek and Daryl Gregory; art by Scott Godlewski and Damian Couceiro; published by BOOM! Studios.
The idea behind this story -- Dracula working for a modern-day corporation and finding himself surronded by worse people than him -- sounded too good not to read.

Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America (paperback)
Written by Jeph Loeb; art by various; published by Marvel Comics.
Various characters react to Cap's death in a great series of stories by Jeph Loeb with several brilliant artists.

Secret Six: Cats in the Cradle (paperback)
Written by Gail Simone and John Ostrander; art by J. Calafiore, R.B. Silva and Alexandre Palamaro; published by DC Comics.
This series is just always great. That is all.

The Sixth Gun: Cold Dead Fingers (paperback)
Written by Cullen Bunn; art by Brian Hurtt; published by Oni Press.
What is it with indie books and interesting stories? This one is about magic guns or something.

Steve Rogers: Super-Soldier (hardback)
Written by Ed Brubaker; art by Dale Eaglesham; published by Marvel Comics.
I can't wait to see what's next for Steve in this story from two great creators.

Now if you'll excuse me; duty calls!
