• Jewish Life and Comics in 'The Big Kahn'
  Superheroes, action comics and horror stories—comics writer Neil Kleid does it all.

• Goats, Vol. 2: The Corndog Imperative
  JONATHAN ROSENBERG. Del Rey, $15 paper (168p) ISBN 978-1-345-51093-8
  The second volume collecting the popular Web comic Goats gets off to a slow start, but then, it's understandably hard to follow a story line in which your characters turn God into a sandwich and eat him. Goats is reminiscent of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, only stranger and less plot-driven.

• The Book of Genesis Illustrated
  R. CRUMB. Norton, $24.95 (224p) ISBN 978-0-393-06102-4
  Far removed from the satirical reimagining some might expect from the father of underground comix, Crumb's long-awaited take on the first book of the Bible presents the artist's own sensitive, visually intense reflections. Where most visual adaptations edit down their prose sources, Crumb has, strikingly, included every word of the Book of Genesis within his first major book-length work.

• Katman
  KEVIN C. PYLE. Henry Holt, $12.99 paper (144p) ISBN 978-0-8050-8285-2
  This great coming-of-age tale promotes nonconformity as well as responsibility (and young love, too, but to a lesser extent). It's the summer break, and lacking friends or funds, teenager Kit is hanging around the house too much. Wandering aimlessly through his low-income neighborhood in Brooklyn, Kit takes pity on the stray cats he sees. He feels as abandoned as they are, and is soon feeding them, first from his mother's pantry and then by stealing.
