I don't think the February solicits necessarily had more books I was interested in than January's. But there was definitely more outside the Marvel/DC sphere I gave a glance to.
On the other hand, no solicitation for Red Before Black, Dark Harbor's vanished entirely from the publisher list, while Scout was down to one book (with two covers). Although a couple of their books are supposedly actually coming out this week, so maybe they're resetting (again.) Deadpool's doing a crossover with Miles Morales: Spider-Man, so I'm probably skipping it this month.
Just the sort of two-faced skullduggery I'd expect from a month that doesn't keep a consistent number of days.
What's new? Shobo and Shof Coker, with Alexandre Tefenkgi as artist, are starting Bronze Faces at Boom!, a six-issue mini about a young man and his friends trying to take a lot of artifacts from the Kingdem of Benin back from the British Museum.
Dstlry has the first issue of B. Clay Moore and Mack Chater's Last Flight Out of Wichita, a crime story set in the '70s about a couple of guys who make a bad choice for quick cash and are on the run. It is 48 pages, and I guess the paper quality is pretty high, but $9 makes my Cheap-Sense tingle.
Mine is a Long, Lonesome Grave is Justin Jordan and Chris Shehan's book through Oni Press about a guy fresh out of prison who finds out someone in his hometown put a hex on him that'll kill him in a week, if he can't figure out who it was and kill them first. Seems like he's going to cut a swath through the town to the extent he'll end up with a dozen lethal hexes on him, but maybe not.
Amaze Ink has Jef Bambas' Model A graphic novel, about a robot that wakes up in a factory as an obsolete model, surrounded by unfriendly newer robots.
What's ending? Babs wraps up, and Calavera PI. So does Body Trade, though I already decided to drop it. Nerts to that book!
And the rest: Marvel's kicking off One World Under Doom, which is a 9(?!) issue mini-series. At least it makes sense for Fantastic Four to tie into that, but man, it better not be for 9 months. Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu is up to issue 5, Laura Kinney: Wolverine's at issue 3, same as Metamorpho. Batgirl's at issue 4. Dust to Dust and The Surgeon are also on their third issues. In the former, the mayor's covering up murders. In the latter, the title character has decided a massive siege is the perfect time to leave.
Seven Seas has the 8th volume of No Longer Allowed in Another World, and Yen Press solicited the 2nd volume of Blade & Bastard, though I've not read the first yet, so that may be entirely irrelevant to me.
