James Turner's Rex Libris is the densest comic I've read in a long time. This first issue not only features our titular hero getting into a fight with a samurai demon and dealing with the administation of the Middleton Public Library (the best damn bibliostorage facility in the world,) the readers also get to savor the most historically rich, fitfully funny origin story I've ever come across. Add to this heady mix some hilarious running commentary from the "writer and editor" chronicalling Rex's adventures through space and time and you've got my pick of the year for indie comics with an intellectual bent that use vector art. (Wait, wasn't that title already occupied by Turner's Nil?)
KRISTIN IS VERY PRETTY. (She made me write that because I'm delaying burrito retrieval.)
You should only buy Frank Espinosa's Rocketo if you want to know what it's like to dive headlong into a rich fantasy world that mixes and matches genres and influences effortlessly while creating a unique feel.
I know, you probably were going to go read Ultimate Waffle-Dude X instead. That's fine.
Written on the Palm at Diesel around 7:45. We later had tasty Anna's action.
