Incognegro, by Mat Johnson and Warren Pleece
Incredibly good. Tight plot, lots of emotional ambiguity.

The More than Complete Action Philosophers, by Fred Van Lente and Ryan Dunlavey
Some parts of this were great (eg "You're a Good Man, John Stuart Mill") and most of it was really good. Dunno if it's a flaw of the field or a flaw of the book (I'd have to think about it more to decide which one), but I was frustrated that they only bothered with a couple of women, and baffled by how they could write an entry about Ayn Rand that was mostly about Nathaniel Branden, while writing about Sartre without even MENTIONING Simone de Beauvoir...

Incorruptible, volume 2 and volume 3, by Mark Waid et al
I like where this series is going a lot. Keeps getting more complicated, and more hopeful.

Transmetropolitan, vol. 4: The New Scum, vol. 5: Lonely City, vol. 6: Gouge Away, vol. 7: Spider's Thrash, vol. 8: Dirge, vol. 9: The Cure, and vol. 10: One More Time, by Warren Ellis, Darick Robertson, et al
I think it took me longer to dig up the links for these than it took me to read them :D. A blur of brilliance and viciousness, beautifully executed and aggressively obnoxious. Loved this series. Is there much better than going on a comics binge with comics worthy of it?
