I missed when the first issue of Ted Naifeh's new book, Princess Ugg, came out before. Happily plenty of the first issue still on the racks when this weeks issue #2 reminded me. Naifeh this time goes with a barbarian princess attending a more traditional princess finishing academy...
Knights of the Dinner Table has Bob and Dave scrambling to try and find some advice or secret knowledge from other local G.M.s to give them a shot against Brian and Sara and Carvin' Marvin. But none of them are willing to break the G.M. code. At least not until some bets start going down as to which team will come out on top...
I'm not sure I buy into Southern Bastards High School football coach crime boss. Given how focused he is on coaching when would he find the time to run a crime empire?
When not looking into the family history of Shutter's lead, this issue teaches the reader to never trust a platypus fixer...
New Gods met in the second issue of the Wicked & the Divine; Baal, the Morrigan and Baphomet. Mentioned but not seen Tara, Woden, Inanna and Minerva. Adding in previously met Lucifer, Amaterasu and Sahkmet thats Ten out of Twelve...

Where Marceline edits a 'zine made up of stories contributed by all her pals. Adventure Time Banana Guard Academy has Princess Bubblegum opening up the Banana Guard to non-Bananas 'cause she's tired of their being no turnips in the castle fridge for snacking. Potential recruits include Peppermint Butler, Mr. Cupcake and Treetrunks...
While I do love Skottie Young's drawing on Rocket Raccoon I'm not so sold on his writing. His Rocket is just so generically aggressively obnoxiously outlaw-ey. And the revenge obsessed ex-girlfriend antagonist is no great shakes either...
And lastly the new New Warriors get their second enemy group in a Inhuman Supremacist group looking to force recruit Haechi. 'Cause Inhumans are the latest mass-super-power outbreak origin...
