Mage! It's finally finishing up.
Low HC - this is a fantastic series with just beautiful art. I'm reading it on the comixology and am heavily considering getting this collection.
Curse Words volume 1 - who doesn't love Chris Crank and Ryan Browne.
Wayward HC volume 2 - I love this book; I like it more than Lazarus, Saga, or Low. It's by far my favorite series at Image. Try the first arc on comixology, get singles.
Boy Marvel loves reprinting Vision floppies. I feel like they just like keeping the floppies in circulation. I also think that is the only thing worth mentioning in Marvel.

Jérôme K. Jérôme Bloche HC — 1st time in English. I've heard good things, and Dodier’s art is gorgeous.
Mage: The Hero Denied #0 — While I found the second volume of Mage to be a little disappointing, I'm hoping this final volume will be a return to form.

Fog over Tobliac Bridge HC
The Wendy Project TB — Saw a sample of this at WonderCon and it looks pretty interesting.
Steven Universe: Art & Origins HC — This will make a nice birthday present for my daughter, which will give me the opportunity to read it.
I think that’s everything I'm getting for the month. There are a few things that look good, which I won't be getting though:
Art of Over the Garden Wall looks nice, but too pricey for what you get. I'll have to pass.
The Art of the Pulps: An Illustrated HIstory — I already have a coffee table-sized book on the subject that's pretty good. This looks like it might be better, but I'll probably pass until I read some reviews.
The Book of Ballads Original Art Edition is out of my price range unfortunately. I still have the comics though.
Women Dynamite Vampirella Arthur Adams Bust Black - I got a nice promotion at my day job and I deserve a reward. Also this just looks really cool in BW.
Robotech #1 - Technically not a manga but it's Robotech. I'm in for the long haul.
Pandora In The Crimson Shell Ghost Urn GN Vol 08
Nisekoi False Love GN Vol 22
Nichijou GN Vol 09
Monster Musume GN Vol 12 (MR)
Don't Meddle With My Daughter GN Vol 01 (MR) - Superheroines. Gone wrong as only a manga can do it. I'm in.
Sabrina Chilling Adventures TP Vol 01- I keep meaning to get this.
Jungle Girls HC - Despite my love of the genre, may get dropped.
Josie & The Pussycats #8
Supergirl #11
Batman TP Vol 03 I Am Bane - May get dropped.
