New Comics Day 4/11/12
Another very heavy week. And even though the store got shorted on the latest issue of the Wood/Cloonan Conan, they did get in the issue of Mouse Guard: the Black Axe I missed from a few weeks back. With the new weilder of the Black Axe having to go into the briar patch to face a killer fox...
I also got another unexpected issue of Lobster Johnson: the Burning Hand. I swear I manage to miss seeing this when checking the week's releases every time. Anyway, L.J. and his crew continue to face off against the mob's hired supernatural assassin...

And finally a new Courtney Crumrin ongoing from Oni. And it starts with Courtney seemingly making an actual friend. Though that may be speaking too soon. Seriously, new Courtney Crumrin, in color even...
