Viper Comics; $10.95

We had managed to overlook Daisy Kutter when it first came out in mini-series form, but no such mistake this time. The mini-series has now been collected into a handy, manga-sized edition that makes you want to keep turning the pages until you realize that it's not only pretty cool, it's a really good read. It has romance, grifters, high stakes poker games, train robberies, action, adventure and more. Writer-artist Kazu Kibuuishi, with deceptively simple, clean line work and gray tones, creates a superb atmosphere in which the story is told. His panel construction and storytelling abilities are great, and we can hardly wait to see more of his work.
