                    The Prof's Weekly Comics List

        This is a list of new comic book releases coming out the week
of May 22nd.  I compile this list (mostly) every week through a list
that I get from Diamond Distributors.  Just because something's on the
list, though, doesn't mean it will necessarily show up at your local
comics shop.  Expect everything to be late and you'll be happy when
it's on time.
        I'm putting the current list back on the web.  It won't be in 
HTML list format, I'm just going to slap a <PRE> tag at the beginning.
It's at http://www.peak.org/~taggarj/weekly.html.
        I'm going to start picking one book out each week that I'm 
recommending.  Everyone has different tastes so don't email me back
saying "oh that book sucks."  This is just my opinion and I think it's
a good read.
        This week I'm picking Body Count #3.  Nobody's work is as 
chaotic as Simon Bizley's and it's cool to see him doing a no-hold-barred
book again.  If you can, hunt down Batman/Judge Dredd: Judgement on
Gotham, a fully airbrushed book by Biz.  If not, just get this book.
