I'm really looking forward to the Bowery Boys: Our Fathers HC (Dark Horse), featuring art by Ian Bertram, an artist I quickly became fascinated by after seeing a quirky fill-in issue of Batman Eternal. Bertram has this sinewy Frank Quitely thing happening, but plumps it up with manga influence and thicker more uneven line weights that add a lot of emotional oomph, so I'll gladly check out his stylings on this creator owned joint.

There's a mix of a few newer books and quite a few other old-reliables out this week that I'll be taking a look at, including the following;
