<p>Written by Paul Benjamin and Patrick Storck<br /> Drawn by Dave Alvarez<br /> SC, 24 pgs, FC, (1 of 4), SRP: $2.99<br /> Covers by David Peterson &amp; Dave Alvarez</p>
<p>Many have sought the Holy Grail, and many have failed. Now the Muppets present some very good reasons why, as they recount the fantastic quest of King Arthur and his Muppets of the Round Table! This classic tale of adventure, romance, and magic is told once again, but this time with more frogs, chickens, bears, and Whatnots than you can shake Excalibur at! In the words of Fozzie, it will be a &lsquo;knight&rsquo; to remember!</p>

<p><span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><a href="http://www.curiousoldlibrary.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img class="alignright wp-image-1221 size-thumbnail" src="http://www.heroesonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/crogans-march-150x143.jpg" alt="crogans march" width="150" height="143" /></a></span></span></p>
<p>1) <strong>Crogan&rsquo;s March HC</strong></p>
<p><em>Crogan&rsquo;s March</em> is the second volume of <strong>Chris Schweizer</strong>&rsquo;s <em>Crogan Adventures</em> in which Schweizer goes through the Crogan family tree and tells action-packed stories about the patriarchs. The first volume was <em>Crogan&rsquo;s Vengeance</em> and it&nbsp;focused on &ldquo;Catfoot&rdquo; Crogan the&nbsp;pirate. This go round we learn about Peter Crogan who was in the French Foreign Legion. The attention to detail is remarkable.&nbsp;Schweizer heavily researches every aspect of the story to ensure that it is historically accurate even though it is a work of fiction. While the stories are mainly geared toward boys (like <em>Tintin</em> and other adventure stories) they appeal to a wide audience. Who doesn&rsquo;t like a good action/adventure story? What I love most about Schweizer&rsquo;s work is his dynamic art. It has so much energy and movement that you are swept up into the story. You may have noticed the picture on the right, I swiped it from Schweizer&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.curiousoldlibrary.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>! I couldn&rsquo;t resist using it!</p>
<p>5) <strong>GI Joe Origins #12</strong></p>
<p>This issue is all about Baroness who has always been one of my favorite characters from <em>GI Joe.</em> It is written by <strong>Marc Andreyko</strong>&nbsp;and features&nbsp;art by the&nbsp;awesome <strong>Ben Templesmith</strong>! Sweet!</p>
<p>3) <strong>Marvel Heartbreakers #1</strong></p>
<p>Marvel brings you a collection of love stories just in time for Valentine&rsquo;s Day. Among them are stories about Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson (written by <strong>Kathryn Immonen</strong> with art by <strong>Elena Casagrande</strong>) and a story Tabitha Smith and Elsa Bloodstone&nbsp;from <em>Nextwave</em> (written by <strong>Rick Spears</strong> with art by <strong>James Callahan</strong>). Marvel has been doing some really interesting anthology-esque collaborative comics recently.</p>
<p>4) <strong>Tiny Titans TP vol 3</strong></p>
<p>I love this book! It always makes me smile. So if life is getting you down, pick this book up and I am certain that you will feel better.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img class="wp-image-1222 size-thumbnail alignleft" src="http://www.heroesonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/deadpool_team_up_896-150x228.jpg" alt="deadpool_team_up_896" width="150" height="228" /></span></span></p>
<p>2) <strong>Deadpool Team-Up #896</strong></p>
<p>Did you know that it will take Marvel roughly 75 years to get to <em>Deadpool Team-Up #1</em>? That is if they continue to put one issue out every month. Shelley and I did the math on that yesterday. Oh the fun we have!&nbsp;In this issue Deadpool &ldquo;teams up&rdquo; with U.S. Ace against giant-sized killer raccoons. <strong>Shawn Crystal</strong> is on art duty for this issue. You may remember him from the pirate story arc back in <em>Deadpool #13</em> and <em>#14</em>.</p>

<p>1) <strong>Afrodisiac HC</strong></p>
<p><em>Afrodisiac</em>&nbsp;is a blaxploitation story told using the storytelling conventions of 70s comics. It is illustrated by <strong>Jim Rugg</strong> and co-created and co-written by <strong>Brian Maruca</strong>. We are already sold out of this book! But fear not! If you want a copy you will be able to pick one up at our lovely store Sunday, February 7 when Rugg and <strong>Chris Pitzer</strong> will be here for a <a href="http://www.heroesonline.com/blog/2010/01/07/coming-events-jim-rugg-afrodisiac-store-signing/" target="_blank">store signing</a>. They will have lots of copies available! If you can&rsquo;t make it and want a copy let us know and we will get you a copy then, if not before.</p>
<p>2) <strong>Dark Reign Hawkeye #5</strong>, <strong>Captain America Reborn #6</strong> and&nbsp;<strong>Kick <em>Butt</em> #8</strong></p>
<p>Marvel is catching up on their shipping schedules and plenty of titles are coming out that people have been anticipating.</p>
<p>3) <strong>Marvelous Land of Oz #3</strong></p>
<p>Check out this sweet interior art done by <strong>Skottie Young</strong>, who we just recently added to the guest list of Heroes Con 2010!</p>

<p>4) <strong>New Avengers #61</strong></p>
<p><em>Siege</em> is in full swing and Steve Rogers is back!</p>
<p><span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><img class="wp-image-1194 size-thumbnail alignleft" src="http://www.heroesonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/loverboy-150x205.jpg" alt="loverboy" width="150" height="205" /></span></span></p>
<p>5) <strong>Loverboy HC</strong> and <strong>SC</strong></p>
<p>One of my big regrets from Heroes Con 09 was not seeing the <strong>Irwin Hasen</strong> documentary. Everyone I talked to who saw it was blown away. I hope that the documentary will make it to DVD sometime in the near future. But in the meantime <em>Loverboy</em> is basically Hasen&rsquo;s story in his own words and pictures. The first part is him explaining how his short stature sometimes gets in the way of his love for tall women while the second part is about his comics career.</p>

<p>Ashley Wood (w &amp; a)</p>
<p>It&#8217;s total robot war! In development to be a major motion picture, Ashley Wood&#8217;s World War Robot tells the tale of a dwindling band of humans and robots who face off in a battle that will likely end humanity as we know it - on Earth, on the Moon, and on Mars, too! Badass battles, really intense human/robot drama, and even a little black humor and political intrigue are the order of the day in this oversize epic that collects both previous books in one deluxe hardcover volume.</p>

<p>Mike Costa &amp; Christos Gage (w)<br /> Antonio Fuso (a &amp; c)<br /> Howard Chaykin (c)<br /> <br /> Chuckles is the only man alive to have successfully infiltrated COBRA&#8230; and he&#8217;s M.I.A. Has he been killed? Defected? Gone rogue to fight a one-man war against the enemy? None of these alternatives are acceptable to General Hawk. He wants Chuckles back with G.I. JOE, so he&#8217;s sending a new Joe to retrieve him. But what she finds may be worse than anyone could have imagined&#8230; Also, get a deeper look inside COBRA than ever before, as Tomax, Xamot, and Erika continue to feel the effects of the previous miniseries, and several COBRA operatives are introduced for the first time in an IDW book!</p>
