RASL #1
by Jeff Smith
Jeff Smith, the visionary writer and artist behind the epic fantasy Bone and Shazam: Monster Society of Evil, unveils his newest series, the stark sci-fi series, Rasl! Meet Rasl, an art thief searching for his next big score — and trying to escape his past! Where other thieves plan their heists with breathtaking precision, Rasl has an ace up his sleeve — he can travel through the light between dimensions, affording him access to museums that no ordinary thief could access! In this issue Rasl faces an assassin’s bullet and stumbles across a mystery that not only threatens to expose his own illicit activities, but could also uncover one of the world’s most dangerous and sought after secrets. Smith’s first major independent work since the critically acclaimed and award-winning Bone will be 32 pages long. | B&W | $3.50

Spotlight books are not to be confused with the weekly Review Group selections. Spotlights occur only on those special occasions where enough people have expressed an interest in reviewing an additional book. You can suggest a spotlight in this thread at any time, but make sure it's for a book that deserves the extra attention.

That's wierd, why support the one and not the other? IT's okay the spin off thread never closes so you can post a review when you are ready!;)

Swing on over to the spin-off thread and post a review of RASL and then help us decide what we should spotlight this week.

So what's the deal with RASL? Is he basically like Phantom Girl? I thought I read somewhere that it had a parallel universe element to it.

He is an Art Thief who can travel between time and dimensions.

Yep, #2 is being solicited for May. As long as there aren't any delays I don't think it will be a big deal.

Unlike the weekly thread, the spin-off thread never closes, so feel free to review RASL #1 at your leisure.:D
