November 24th: Darker AND More Satirical Heroes

Here's what we'll be looking at for our next meeting:
------------

November 24th-- heroic parody
Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. Ultimate Collection by Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen
Strange Tales by Pete Bagge, Nicholas Bertozzi, Molly Crabapple, Nicholas Gurewitch, James Kochalka, Michael Kupperman, John Leavitt, Junko Mizuno, Paul Pope, Johnny Ryan, John Arne Saeteroy, Dash Shaw
Amazing Screw-on Head by Mike Mignola

*AND*
The Umbrella Academy Volume 1 by Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba
Doom Patrol, The: Crawling Wreckage - VOL 01 by Grant Morrison
Mike Mignola's B.P.R.D.: Hollow Earth and Other Stories by Mike Mignola

Since the October session was cancelled (and a special apology for anyone who didn't get the cancellation notice), we're still going to take a quick look at the material for that month at the November meeting. Note that some of the books--the Nextwave comics and Strange Comics in particular--might be a little hard to get a hold of, so if anyone interested in those titles is having difficulties, be sure to contact me.

And to any potential newcomers: don't be overwhelmed by the huge number of books here. We don't usually read this many titles, and it's perfectly okay to just read the one or ones that appeal to you. We just want you to come out and share your thoughts.

And if you've got any comments about the material that just can't wait, post below.
