Not much out in comics this week, but I WAS really glad to see a new issue of Phil & Kaja Foglio’s Girl Genius (#11), which had been absent from the stands for far too long. It introduces more characters from the Girl Genius card game -- including one with a terrific backstory -- and it ends in a surprising cliffhanger. Good stuff.

Also, Superman: Birthright #11 came out – another decent read from Mark Waid & Leneil Yu, with some really nice moments for Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane. No matter what people think of the continuity (I don’t get too wrapped up in those things), this is a solid, exciting story, with some really good character beats.
