First off Hi Fructose = High Quality. If you love counter culture art, this is the best magazine out there. It's the newby on the block, that's giving Juxtapoz a run for its money. Every issue is worthwhile and while its practically a Mook (Magazine Book) its very inexpensive.
Street Fighter Tribute book had its softcover debut in toronto last weekend. Its hardcover debut happened a few months back at San Diego Comic Con. Had a look at it then ($80 hardcover, $40 softcover) - it's gorgeous. Udon has assembeled some great talent to create some exceptional art.
Ian McCaig is a big name in concept art and his book Shadowline is expected to deliver big time. Delayed several times, its finally coming home this Wednesday.
Possibly the most prolific artist on the planet - Ashely Wood's Sparrow #00 is finally available outside the boxed set.
This week, 2 new Twilight Zone graphic novels are coming out. A huge fan, for a long time, I can't wait for these.
Hellboy Library 2 picks up where 1 left off. Reprints 2 great tales in a deluxe hardcover format plus tons of cool sketches to boot.!
I Luv- I Luv Halloween, and this is the deluxe oversized hardcover edition in full colour. Brilliant book, and well worth the deluxe treatment.
Iron Fist has been one of the best new series of the past year or so, and this week a new collection is out with Immoratal Iron Fist #3.
IDW has proven they can do transformers. Their Art book is also proof they can do artbooks well. This is a softcover edition of the previously released hardcover. At half the price, there's no excuse not to jump on it, if you're a fan who doesn't already own the Hard Cover.
Two Tribal Tattoo items this week from Japan. First off, there's a new issue of the magazine and then there's this cool artbook. If past issues are any indication, expect great photos and high production values.
