It's been two years since we've seen The Red Star on shelves, but it's been well worth the wait. Christian Gossett and his team at Archangel have teamed up with WETA Workshop for Sword of Lies, and the art is incredible. Go pick up a copy, you won't regret it.

Spiderman is getting a new gadet-filled costume, a gift from Tony Stark (Iron Man). Don't know about you, but I'm not feeling it.

I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of good stuff. I've been reading SinFest, PvP, Dork Tower, and Penny Arcade regularly. I was reintroduced to Gaming Guardians, so I'm giving it a go (thanks graveyardgreg), and I just started reading Gossamer Commons and Finder.

How about you? Reading anything good?
