This week's batch is all about storytelling. Some of the best writers (not to mention artists) have some great issues lined up to further excite and titillate anxious readers. Few books do a better job of satiating their fans like Saga (#22) from Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples. Matt Kindt is a tour de force as writer and artist on Mind Mgmt (#25). Brian Wood, Garry Brown and Jordie Bellaire give The Massive (#26) its distinct look and feel as the series winds down. So many great people behind great stories this week.
