Pick of the Week 6/27

Sorry that this one is later than usual, but I will be getting back to posting more regularly now.  Here is the book you should be paying attention to, in comic shops today!


The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen III #3: Century 2009 - Lots of good stuff comes out this week from the likes of Gilbert Hernandez, Kevin Huizenga and Eddie Campbell, among others, but I'm most excited about the latest League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.  Why spend your money on the questionable taste of Before Watchmen, when you can have the real thing, by Alan Moore himself?  Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill bring the League into current time, featuring a character very similar to one very popular boy wizard.

Thor, the Mighty Avenger #1-3

Roger Langridge & Chris Samnee With all of the buzz out there about how great this incarnation of Thor is, I decided to check this series out for myself.  Only after I ordered the first few issues, it was promptly cancelled by Marvel due to low sales, which is unfortunate since it hardly had much time to build word of mouth, but that's the way the industry works sometimes (and to be fair, its first issue sold over 20,000 copies (placing #104 for the month) while its latest sold about 8,400 (placing at #186), so it was bleeding readers).  My only real issue there is it seems that people who hear about a book tend to buy the collection rather than hunt back issues, so I kind of feel like a book like this, especially for young readers, should have had a chance in another format before it got the axe.  The last issue of Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard placed just ahead of Thor, the Mighty Avenger in November at #185, but its collection ranked #15 for the month.  Another a
