Archaia Entertainment did something a little different for FCBD, rather than a comic, they released a hardback, bound compendium of some short stories serving as teasers or lures for their titles. There's a charming "Labyrinth" short story about Hoggle and the Worm (Remember him?), an equally charming "Mouse Guard" tale. A visually interesting, but rather confusing "Dapper Men" story, an altogether odd "Cursed Pirate Girl" story, and a weird little tale called "Rust" teasing a longer story about a young boy trying to keep his family's farm together when his father is lost in a devastating world war, and another young kid, Jetpack Jones who crashes into the barn one day and stays to help out. Some of those make me want to read more, some make me wonder what the creator is smoking, but I applaud the quality of the product throughout, and then there's this little gem of a quirky Western, which definitely makes me want to read the forthcoming graphic novelDetective Comics is a title that has seen some incredible highs in the last few years. Between Greg Rucka and Scott Snyder it was a book that deserved to be the headliner for the company. As one of the New 52, is it still as good? The answer to that is more complicated than I expected.

Poll Now that you've read all about "Before Watchmen," what are your feelings on DC moving forward with the franchise without Alan Moore and/or Dave Gibbons?This October, worlds will collide when writers Stuart Moore and Fabian Nicieza bring together for the first time ever DC Comics and the Middle Eastern publishing company Teshkeel Comics for the six-issue crossover miniseries "JLA/The 99." While many comic fans know of the Justice League - with a roster reaching all areas of the DCU and consisting of such powerhouses as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman - they may not be as familiar with Teshkeel and The 99. Founded by Dr. Naif Al-Mutawa, a proponent and prominent speaker on progressive Islam, the comic book company licenses many America comics from DC, Marvel and Archie for the Middle Eastern market. However, they also began publishing their own title, "The 99," which focuses on a group of young super heroes of various nationalities from all across the world.
