Right in the middle end of National Youth Week, April 14 sees another batch of comics hitting the store. As such, another look at what could end up being taken home...

Spotted about eight pages of Imaginaries #1 in one of the Comic Book Digest sampler magazines a month or more back. It looked good, even in black and white. Story wise, here's hoping it gets beyond what could easily be passed off as another Tellos.

Having read the second, but not the first, why would there be a reason to pick up Lion Tigers and Bears #3? #4, perhaps, just to read the story in a flash forward mode. Like coming in to halfway through a show, flicking over to another channel and then back again to this when you realise that the reality TV show just before it went on for far longer than it should have.

Flaming Carrot #2 is bound for the shelves this week. Still have yet to read the first issue despite having bought a copy a couple of months ago -- some time in December. Did happen upon the two page inclusion within Negative Burn: Best of 1993-1998. Kind of in that superhero field without being all too serious.

Captain Gravity and Power of The Vril #4 continues on after what feels a lot longer than a month between drinks. Last issue might have been where Captain Gravity was lying in ditch. After letting Chase's captors steal her away of course. Not something along a line of a booze hound unable to withstand the pressures of the suit. Not one for those who don't like the old pulp era they might only know from Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow or The Rocketeer.

For those who missed them the first time around, the Astonishing X-Men volume 1: Gifted and The Sentry trade paperback collections are back again. Get them before someone else does.
