It's a pretty big week in comics. Absolute Superman is taking flight (no spoilers, but it's good and we'll have a full explainer tomorrow), as does Batgirl. There are also new issues of The Ultimates, Batman, Aliens vs. Avengers and a whole bunch of other cool books. There's also FML, the brand new creator-owned comic from Kelly Sue DeConnick and David López published by Dark Horse. A new DeConnick comic is always worth paying attention to, and this one doesn't disappoint.
FML is a tricky book to sum up. Part of the pleasure of reading this terrific first issue is the sense of never being quite sure in what direction it's going to go in next. We'll keep things spoiler free, as the issue isn't out yet, but suffice to say it's a witty, personal, and heart-wrenching coming of age tale with a Portland punk rock twist.
