Our intrepid noses sniffed out two new titles today worth mentioning.
• First, there’s KING KONG, Christopher Golden’s official novelization of some movie that opens tomorrow. As a basic rule of thumb, I rarely read novelizations, but I expect several will be reading this. Golden’s a good writer, anyway.
• And not first, you have THE YEAR’S BEST GRAPHIC NOVELS, COMICS AND MANGA, edited by the late Byron Preiss and Howard Zimmerman. The first of its kind, this is a great idea whose time has come. Every other genre gets a year-end best-of, so why not illustrated fiction? No less than Neil Gaiman pens the introduction, so you can expect a credible collection. No word yet has to the contents of the 272 pages within, other than a cover blurb that hints “from BLANKETS to DEMO to BLACKSAD.” We’ve heard of exactly one of those, but we hope to have a review for you soon that will reveal all.
