Yes, it's 11:40 on a Saturday, and I'm blogging about comics. I'm pretty sure I've forgotten what a vagina looks like.
DUSTY STAR #1 August 3 o 32 pg o FC o $3.50 written by ANDREW ROBINSON & JOE PRUETT art & cover by ANDREW ROBINSON
It's a different time and a strange place. It's burlesque shows and all-night poker games, robots and flying ships, tattooed horses and new wave cowboys and cowgirls with bad attitudes. This is the world of Dusty Star, a tough-as-nails gunslinger with a steely-eyed gaze and a draw as fast as greased lighting! An appealing blend of western, science fiction, adventure and humor.
I really liked this the first time I heard about it, when it was called "Trigun."
INDIGO VERTIGO August 17 o 48 pg o BW o $4.95 written by KATIEJANE GARSIDE art & cover by DAN SCHAFFER
Described as the comic equivalent of a David Lynch movie written by Sylvia Plath, this hallucinatory spectacle of one woman's experience on the brink of reality is the result of an unconventional, intuitive creative process developed by KATIEJANE GARSIDE (vocalist with extreme UK rock band Queenadreena) and DAN SCHAFFER (creator of cult comic book series, DOGWITCH). Told with poetic, fragmented dialogue and beautifully textured art, INDIGO VERTIGO explores the love/hate relationship between people and their demons in a disturbing nightmare journey through the cracks in the tiles.
This will either be brilliant or unreadable.

Image needs a new solicitation copy guy. Unless they're letting the creators write the copy themselves, in which case, they need to institute a probation system.
BATTLE POPE #3 August 31 o 32 pg o FC o $2.95 written by ROBERT KIRKMAN art & cover by TONY MOORE & VAL STAPLES

GIRLS #4 Aug 17 o 32 pg o FC o $2.95 written by JOSHUA LUNA art & cover by JONATHAN LUNA
In a shocking turn of events, the mystery woman will change the lives of Pennystown irrevocably, and raise more questions than answers: Who is this girl? What does she want? Is she a blessing, or a curse?
And why is she naked?
THE PACT #4 (of 4) August 3 o 32 pg o FC o $2.95 written by ROBERT KIRKMAN art & cover by JASON HOWARD
FIREBREATHER, INVINCIBLE, SHADOWHAWK, and ZEPHYR--together again for what MAY be the last time. When a local town enlists Firebreather's aid in stopping the dreaded Magmanites--he calls in his new pals to help out. But things go horrible wrong--this issue must be seen to be believed.
As must the cover.
