VALERIAN (NN) free promo comic magazine - Not bad for free. 20+ page reprint excerpted from the beginning of "Ambassador of the Shadows" graphic novel, basis of the forthcoming (July 21) film Valerian: City of a Thousand Planets.

JUDGE DREDD: THE GARTH ENNIS COLLECTION TP - Notable mainly for reprinting the stories which introduced Judge-Sergeant Charlie Joyce of Murphyville (formerly the Republic of Ireland, but by the 22nd century, an Irish-theme park). Appropriate, since Garth Ennis is probably the most well-known Irish comic writer.  **** 4 out of 5 stars.

KIKAIDER CODE 02 VOL. 1 & 2 (of 6) - [CMX, 2006 tankobon] - A modern (2000) update of Shotaro (Cyborg 009, Kamen Rider) Ishinomori's 1973 tokusatsu hero TV series/manga. Not bad for its type. **** 4 out of 5 stars.

STRONTIUM DOG: TRAITOR TO HIS KIND TP
STRONTIUM DOG: BLOOD MOON TP - Here's a rarity that you hardly ever see in the world of comics publishing. These stories, which are reprinted from from the long-running British sci-fi comic 2000 AD (circa 2004-2009), show the original creators (writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra) still in top form, more than 30 years after first creating the character (1978). If anything, they've only honed their talents and aged like fine wine. *****5 out of 5 stars.

JUGHEAD'S DOUBLE DIGEST #127 (Feb. 2007) - Another issue from the time when these digests usually contained multiple (some new) stories by Fernando Ruiz. Only a couple of Boldman/Lindsey 5-pages shorts in this one, and the usual complement of Samm Schwartz stories. There were 3 or 4 stories featuring The Archies, and a 1-page gag strip (not credited, but looks like Al Hartley) in which Sabrina makes a cameo appearance (with no dialogue) in a single panel. Only a slightly-above average issue for this time period. ***3 out of 5 stars.

JUDGE DREDD: MUTANTS IN MEGA-CITY ONE TP - A collection of shorter tales in which Dredd faces off against mutants. The first half of the book is a pretty weak, but the second half is particularly strong, especially the title story and a couple of follow-ups (all written by John Wagner with art by Colin MacNeil), in which Dredd proposes to change the law of Mega-City One forbidding mutants as citizens (and it turns out that Dredd has mutant cousins). ***4 out of 5 stars.

THE ROOK ARCHIVES VOL. 1 HC - My only disappointment is that it's so short (120 pages). Contains the first six installments of this series about the time-traveling hero Restin Dane (a descendant of the unnamed protagonist of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine), which ran in Warren Publishing's black & white horror comic book EERIE in the 1970s. The Rook later went on star in his own black & white comic magazine for 17 issues from 1979-1982, and I hope to see those reprinted by Dark Horse Comics as well. **** 4.5 out of 5 stars (had to subtract half-a-star only because of the number of pages).

I read Reggie & Me #5-Shawn McManus issue again. I put all the Reggie & Me issues done by Jarrell & also the commission that did for me. I'll take a picture & post it on my Twitter page later today.

I read each of books for 12 minutes each
