Top 5 of the month*

1. X'ed Out - Finally got around to reading Charles Burns' latest. A brilliant and multi-layered work.

2. Wilson - Another book I should have read months ago. There was a lot of hype around Daniel Clowes' book last year and I wasn't sure it would work for me, but I was glad to find out the hype was well deserved. Funny and surprisingly moving.

3. Sweet Tooth #17 - This book is always a hit.

4. Batgirl #17 - It took me a long time to be convinced that this book was worth reading, but this issue really did it for me. Instantly added to my pull list.

5. Wolverine and Jubilee #1 - Excellent first issue for this promising new mini-series written by Kathryn Immonen and beautifully illustrated by Phil Noto. 

(*Not necessarily the best, but very good and most noteworthy for a number of reasons.)

Stinker of the month: Infestation #1.
