Winter Men & All Star Superman
Just thought I'd do a little update.
I got my bimonthly comics (is that the right term for when you get something twice a month?). Anyway, I enjoyed them all. I think I might do some reviews but for right now I'll just touch on a few things. First of all I MUST recommend Winter Men. You can read the synopsis there. It is as cool as you think it might be. Great detailed/impressionistic art and great characterizations and the main character is likable and deep. The story is far from any superhero fair but it does have to deal with 'super-beings' but has yet to really show any (I'm on issue 3). I highly recommend it. I'm kind of bummed; there's been no solicitation for issue four.
Next up is All-Star Superman (ASS). This beauty is written by Grant Morrison and Drawn by Frank Quietly. Some people don't like Franks work because of the faces he draws. While I agree they are kind of goofy at times, but the level of detail and composition is great. As for story; Grant delivers here. This is classic Superman. No need to know ANYTHING. In one page he recaps Supes origin then delves right into the story. Lex Luthor, Sci-Fi, Super powerful Superman, Bumbiling Clark Kent, arrogant/half-bitchy Lois. Many think that a De-powered Supes is more interesting. I would tend to agree, but this one is awesome too.
I'll save the rest for later. Just pick up Winter Men!! Pick up Winter Men! Pick Up WINTER MEN.

Bimonthly has traditionally meant "happening every two months" but has been more recently mutated to mean "happening twice a month" which is really semimonthly. If you want to be a purist, use semimonthly, semiweekly, etc. to indicate twice in one month/week/etc.
