Greetings, Comic Fans!
Lots going on behind the scenes here, friends, and to that effect, there won't be a Newsletter next week.
 But let's talk about what's going on this week. For one thing, you've got a gonzo, pork-filled sci-fi comic adventure in the guise of the Mercenary Pig Graphic Novel: Book One.
Raised on a pig farm under deplorable conditions-- one day "Percy" escapes and wonders into a near-by nuclear waste site, injests some "nuclear swill", and mutates into a walking, talking, thinking humanoid pig-- who becomes a mercenary specializing in animal rights infringements, hell-bent on eliminating all pig farms-- starting with those of his former landlord and arch-nemesis, Horace. M. Fatback!
As SureShot Comics points out, this is available for less than half the cost of the hard copy edition found elsewhere.
You ever pick up a random comic somewhere and find yourself (a) wondering if you can find the back-issues to you can figure out what happened and (b) wishing the rest of the series was already out so you can see what happens next? Me too!
That's one of things that makes the Rising Stars collections so cool to me. Here's a whole crap ton of the original issues (created by none other than J. M. "Babylon 5" Straczynski), covering massive story arcs from beginning to end. You've got three entire collections that cover Issue 1 through 24, which goes right to the end of their big saga of the Pederson Specials.
  
Cheers, and keep reading!

What does a Brazilian businessman, an old Nazi cybernetics scientist, a pretty-boy detective and a high flying superhero have in common? One man - Johnny Saturn. This first issue in this award winning series sends the reader into a twisting and turning labyrinth of mystery. It doesn't begin where you think it should, and the ending just leaves you stunned and in awe.
"Johnny Saturn," it's like mythology, with superheroes, in the Midwest. His is a world of high-flying, trendy superheroes who live like celebrities, and a shadowy, back-alley world where mystery men, those old school vigilantes who rely on their fists and indomitable wills, wage lonely wars on crime. "Johnny Saturn" is a heady blend of horror, conspiracy theory, superheroes, the paranormal and classical myths.

MAGDALENA
"The masses of men do not always react sensibly when in the presence of a miracle."
Created by: Malachy Coney & Joe Benitez
Key Artists: Nelson Blake II, Joe Benitez, Eric Basaldua
Genre: Adventure/Supernatural
 After the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, reputed to be his wife, gave birth to a daughter, Sarah. From this child is descended the holy lineage of the Magdalena, a royal bloodline that passes great power and great honor from mother to daughter. For over 2000 years, the Knights of Malta have trained one special woman in each generation to be the Magdalena -- the official warrior protector of the Catholic Church. Across the millennia, the Magdalenas have battled in secret, protecting humanity from the supernatural threats and evil that would tear our world apart.
The Magdalena has the ability to see into the human heart, to show people the error of their ways and give them the choice to repent their sins. Apart from the powers she is born with, the Magdalena wields the Spear of Destiny, the spear that pierced the side of Christ, as a formidable holy weapon against the twisted and the evil.
Since the Middle Ages, the Roman Catholic Church has been the Magdalena's patron, raising each young girl from childhood and training her until she is ready to take hold of her destiny. It is a secretive and mystical council of cardinals known as the Inquisition, however, that oversees the Magdalena's activities and chooses her missions. Keeping all records, such as the Annals of the Magdalena, a secret only to be studied by the wisest scholars, the Inquisition has erased man's knowledge of the Magdalena from history.
Unknown but not forgotten, each successive Magdalena is directly aided by the Sisters of the Order of Magdalene and the Knights of Malta. Until she dies performing the duties of the Magdalena, each ascendant to the title stands alone and takes arms against the evils of the world. But evil is widespread and not all things are as they seem. It is a dark time for the Magdalena when even those who employ her seek to destroy her and her blessed legacy.
