Scott Pilgrim: Precious Little Life – I’d been meaning to read this for a long time, and I finally got around to it! It was quite charming.
Doubt #3 – Now that Ai is going out with So, she feels like she has the freedom to relax her beauty regime. She starts snacking and being less careful about how she dresses. She’s shocked to find out that So is still dating another girl, who happens to be a college student. I really wonder what on earth all these older women see in So. I’m also wondering what I’m seeing in this series. I was hoping when I read the first volume that the series would be commenting more on Ai’s sudden transformation into a popular girl, but it just seems to be turning into yet another teen soap opera, and I have Hot Gimmick (which is much much better) for that.
Musashi 9 #1 – I usually have low expectations for DC’s CMX line, but Musashi #9 was a nifty story about an unlikely secret agent. Fans of the TV show Alias might like this series.
