Five Hidden Gems
1. Harrow County #1 - Culleen Bunn and Tyler Crook create a screwed-up looking southern gothic fantasy-horror book.
2. Donald Duck #1 - Why, yes, IDW is publishing Disney comics featuring the likes of Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge with original material as well as reprints from the European comics.
3. Mythic #1 - Phil Hester and John McCrea weave a fantasy about how science is a crock, and magic is real, and the people who keep the masses in the dark.
4. Exquisite Corpse HC - This graphic novel from French superstar Penelope Bagieu is a mystery featuring a dim protagonist, and it's sure to have some pretty amazing art.
5. Where Monsters Dwell #1 (of 5) - Did anyone else notice that Garth Ennis is doing a fighter plane versus dinosaurs book for Marvel?
