11.08.2013 - Pretty damn good week for reading! Plenty of really good writers and illustrators pushing the envelope, which is just the way we like it at the Comic Pile. As well, since this week's BZZZT column highlighted the Batman Zero Year tie in issues we've thrown in our favourite issue and the first team up of Batman and Green Arrow in DC's N52.
NOMINATED FOR MORE 2013 EISNER AWARDS THAN ANY OTHER COMIC!
Everything goes wrong when Josephine appears in a Seattle band's music video, and her effect on those who desire her runs wild, as the most exciting arc of Fatale continues.
"Brubaker and Philips' noir meets Lovecraft epic just gets better and better by the issue and this project oozes it's creators love and passion. The week Fatale hits the stands it's the first read of the week. Image comics does it again with a gorgeous, gorgeous comic book."
A BATMAN: ZERO YEAR tie-in! He's just returned from the island and must try to find his place in the world! Now, Oliver Queen becomes Green Arrow for the first time as he battles Killer Moth in Gotham City!
"The best of the Zero Year tie ins thus far. Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino give us an interesting take on the first encounter of the Green Arrow and the Dark Knight in the DC N52."
Spider-Man’s got 99 problems...and a race against time is one of them! Spider-Man finds himself thousands of miles above the planet, fighting for his life against some of his greatest foes. Marvel Knights’ Matt Kindt and Marco Rudy bring you the Wall-Crawler you love as you’ve never seen him before!
"Unlike anything Spidey you've ever read. This is Spidey on acid as Matt Kindt is one of the most cerebral writers going (if you want some help reading this book check out Kindt's Mind Mgmt over at Dark Horse. You'll understand the writer's perspective a bit better after reading Mind). Ruby also proves up to the challenge on this intense take on Peter Parker and 99 of his foes by offering up some of the most psychedelic imagery of his career."
Everything Nika and William thought they knew is thrown into question as the world of Trillium is twisted inside out. New universes emerge in the wake of last issue's shocking ending, and William and Nika find themselves more lost than ever!

"The best read of the week. Luna and Vaughn are a collaboration made in heaven. An absolutely flawless first issue. How cool is Alex's grandmother for buying him an android? Wish my grandmother would buy me an android."(W) Jonathan Luna, Sarah Vaughn (A/CA) Jonathan Luna
From JONATHAN LUNA (GIRLS, THE SWORD, Spider-Woman, ULTRA) and SARAH VAUGHN (Sparkshooter) comes ALEX + ADA, a sci-fi drama set in the near future. The last thing in the world Alex wanted was an X5, the latest in realistic androids. But when Ada is dropped into his life, will Alex keep her?

"If we're not reading Saga or Fatale we're reading Trillium. One of the few intelligent books on the stands that is guaranteed to raise your I.Q more than a few points."
