woodwardiocomShe-Hulk: Jaded by David, Moll, Semeiks
With this volume, Peter David takes over the writing of She-Hulk, and the title takes a right turn. Our green heroine is now a bounty hunter, has picked up an alien sidekick, and has gotten kinda cynical about life, mostly due to Iron Man's skeeviness during the Marvel Civil War.

Yeah, well, boosting the power and technology of the armor is something every author does when they start writing Iron Man (though I think the first appearance of a nanotech-enhanced suit was over a decade before this), and the non-costumed antagoinst was an interesting change, but putting yourself into the book as Tony Stark's mentor is kinda indulgent, ne?Robin: Year One by Dixon, Beatty, Pulido, Martin, Campanella
From the team that brought us Batgirl: Year One, this is about Dick Grayson's formative months, and spends most of its time trying to justify thrusting a 12-year-old into the dangerous life of a superhero.

A collection of cat cartoons from the 70s that was lurking about our home when I was growing up.Where the Deep Ones Are by Kenneth Hite and Andy Hopp
Yes, it's a Shadow Over Innsmouth/Where the Wild Things Are mashup, as written by my occasional colleague Ken Hite. Scare your children, disturb your neighbors! Baby's first mythos!
