6. Eon by Alison Goodman: Another girl disguising herself as a eunuch to become a warrior and tries to live in a man's world. It was okay, I just hated the fact that she was so self loathing. Everything was about how she hated being a woman and being crippled (because in their society it was a sign of being cursed/evil). She even starts taking testosterone and steroids and gets 'Roid rage.

7. Eat: Los Angeles 2010 Editor: Colleen Dunn Bates: I looked at an older copy at [livejournal.com profile] jangrl's house one day, and I thought it was such a great resource! There are so many awesome restaurants and shopss I've already tried out. I picked it up on clearance at a Borders Express going out of business sale.

8. The Bride of the Water God: vol. 1 by Mi-Kyung Yun: An interesting play on the old sacrificing a maiden to a river god for rain. It was funny/cute, but probably not going to pick up another volume.

9. Ex Machina: vol. 1 by Brian K Vaughan, Tony Harris, Tom Feister, and JD Mettler: Wow, this totally reminded me again why I love Brian K. Vaughan. Superhero, politics, and an alternate future all in one. Loved it! It's about a superhero turned politian, Mitchell Hundred. This volume is about the Mayor's first 100 days.

10. The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service: vol. 1 by Eiji Otsuka and Housui Yamazaki: Psychic Scooby-Doo gang that transports dead people to their final resting place and grants their dying wish (usually avenge my murder type things).

11. Gunslinger Girl vol. 1 by Yu Aida: A cross between La Femme Nikita and RoboCop. To be honest, I found it creepy. Young dying or maimed girls are given a new life with cybernetic bodies, but they work for a mercenary company. They drug the girls into submission and give them older male handlers. Too Stockholm-ish for me.

12. Planetary: All Over the World and Other Stories: vol. 1 by Warren Ellis, John Cassady, and Laura Depuy: Planetary is a group of "mystery archaeologists". Interesting, but along the same premise of B.P.R.D., which I like better.
