Based on the NCRL list for this week's comics shipping from Diamond, here are a few things to look for at the local comic shop tomorrow:The Pick of the Week is Scott McCloud's Making Comics, which promises to be more than just a straightforward how-to book by mixing in a healthy dose of comix theory.

Boom! have the third issue of Hero Squared Ongoing.

Blogwhoring time. One book you didn't mention, but which is now out, is Alan Moore & Melinda Gebbie's for-adults-only Lost Girls. It's terribly pricey; but I did a blog post explaining how to buy it legally for only $15. In case anyone's interested.
