Three books are coming to me late from this week (sad) Knights of the Golden Sun #8, E-Ratic #2, Mann's World #1

What are ya'll reading this week?  To find out my in-depth thoughts on each of these current series, check out the video below!

As I've mentioned several times, Scout Comics is easily rising up the rankings of one of my favorite publishers.  From having a damn comic book vending machine to their awesome Scout Box monthly subscription, they are doing things to connect with consumers that is awesome. That doesn't even begin to mention how AMAZING the books that are flying off the shelves.  Four more books have been called back for a second printing.

According to President of Scout Comics, James Haick: "Four more Scout titles are going back to print and are now available for preorder! The first issue of THE RECOUNT, the second installment of YASMEEN, the fourth issue (1st appearance of Glarien) of WHITE ASH and IT EATS WHAT FEEDS IT #3 . Please use following order codes when requesting these great books at your local comic shop!" Here are the diamond codes for all four titles:

• NOV208074 - WHITE ASH #4 - 2ND PRINTING
• NOV208072 - IT EATS WHAT FEEDS IT #3 - 2ND PRINTING
• NOV208075 - YASMEEN #2 - 2ND PRINTING
• NOV208073 - THE RECOUNT #1 - 2ND PRINTING
  

Of these four books, the one I'm the most excited for is Yasmeen, it has been one of my favorite books not just from Scout, but potentially books of the year. Congratulations to all of the creators involved in these four books!  I will do everything in my power to keep screaming from the rooftops about why more folks should be reading them!

On the eve of another #NewComicBookDay here is my review of Chapter 4 of Grey!  Its been a long time coming (work being bonkers).  But holy crap, #4 is ON FIRE! 

One of the thing that continues to take me back is how powerful some of these characters are for their youth. In this chapter, we are introduced to Asuka Yagu.  One of the reasons it is easy to pick up on this character's background is thanks to pages like this:

My jaw is left agape the entire issue as I not only watch the relationship between Asuka and Shuyin plays out, but my man Kale (who we already declared is my favorite) starts to fill us in on both information from the past (maybe the Sonoma Incident?) as well as his thoughts on how the law should operate within the realm of Criminality.  

As the issue progresses, we learn more about what may have happened and we watch more of the tek/knowledge base guys play out what they know. And then over a seemingly eventless dinner breaks out over the last two pages lets you know a simple through-issue is setting things up for a bat-shit crazy issue #5! I'm also going to guess I'm not breaking Kris' trust while sharing this DM....but he confirms it and it makes me salivate for #5!!!!!!!

In the end, ya'll know this is hands down one of my favorite creator-owned/driven books of the year (and pay attention to my youtube for a breakdown of KS/creator owned books of the year to prove it) but ya'll don't wanna be sleeping on this one!!!!!!!!!!!
