ANITA BLAKE VH GUILTY PLEASURES TP VOL 01
ANNIHILATION CONQUEST HC BOOK 02

Nick: There’s so much sexual innuendo potential in the above two titles that I’m not even going to make a joke about them. I’m just going to acknowledge the potential incase you missed it, and let you imagine a better a joke than I could ever write.

BASTARD TP VOL 17
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA ORIGINS #7
BERLIN #16
BLACK COAT 48-PAGE SPECIAL
BLOODRAYNE RAW III

Nick: This title could easily be seen on a porno DVD shipping list. Oh, but it would need the “HC” in there too for “Hard Core.”

BODY COUNT SC
BONE COLOR ED HC VOL 08 TREASURE HUNTERS
BONE COLOR ED SC VOL 08 TREASURE HUNTERS

Nick: Hehehehe. “BONE”… “TREASURE HUNTERS”… This title could also easily be seen on a porno DVD shipping list. It would probably be a pirate-themed movie, with a tagline about how pirates love booty.

CHUMBLE SPUZZ GN VOL 02 PIGEON MAN & DEATH SINGS THE BLUES

FURRLOUGH #183
GACHA GACHA NEXT REVOLUTION GN VOL 07
GAMEKEEPER SERIES 2 #5

TRANSFORMERS THE ARK TP VOL 02

Nick: A comic wherein huge movie franchises crossover as Indiana Jones shows up and breaks some historically significant Transformers.

UNWANTED GN

Nick: The timing of this GN is impeccable. The title is just crafty enough to trick enthusiastic summer blockbuster moviegoers that are lost in the bookstore. I have to say, on a slightly related note, how delighted I am to think of all the enthusiastic moviegoers that will actually go out and buy the Wanted TP only to find that the final page depicts Wesley as he fucks the reader in the ass. Mark Millar, you are a genius.
