                    The Prof's Weekly Comics List

        This is a list of new comic book releases coming out the week
of May 29th.  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's pick is Ash #0.  Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti's
book about a fireman turned superhero is great.  I've been a fan of 
Quesada's work since the Azrael mini-series and have followed his work
ever since.  Plus, Quesada and Palmiotti are always two of the coolest
guys at the San Diego Comic Con.  There's never really a line for them
and you can just go up and talk to 'em.  Ash #0 is supposed to clear
up a lot of the confusion from the previous issues.  The list says
Future Cover and I'm not quite sure what that means.  I remember #0
was supposed to be out a long time ago, so if this is some type of
2nd printing and #0 has already come out, will someone please let me
know?
        BTW, last week's pick, Body Count #3 has been delayed to next
week.  Hey, what do you expect from an Image comic.  ;)
