Ironman #74 - Part two of the Tony Stark becomes Secretary of Defense storyline.  I enjoyed the last issue, and hopes that this team sticks with the book for a while.Knights of the Dinner Table #85 & #86 - A book that I'm sure most of you are already familiar with.   Great D&D gaming related stories, many of which always seem hauntingly familiar!   The back-up features are also fun to read, even though I don't play Hackmaster.League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol. II #5 & #6 - Yeah, I know, these have been out for a while.  But I had only picked up to issue #4, and when the movie came our my comic shop immediately sold out of them.   My shopowner had finally managed to get a few more issues of each.    Alan Moore's scripts are great.   On a related note, if you enjoy this comic be sure to check out the "Story Hour" by the same name (my wife Kriskrafts played Mina in that game).</blockquote>
