Sorry about the radio silence lately, kids, but things have been busy here at GCP HQ. Of course, not so busy that I couldn't swing by the library yesterday to pick up some comic trades and graphic novels I missed out on the first time around.
I'm lucky enough to have a library that is really active in bringing in a wide variety of comics, from the classic collections to the newer stuff and for all age ranges. Take a look at what I checked out (literally!) and tell me what you think of my selection in the comments.
Marvel Adventures: The Avengers Vol. 4 — Weirder and Wilder (by writer Jeff Parker and artist Leonard Kirk)
Marvel Adventures: The Avengers Vol. 7 — The Dream Team (Parker and Ig Guara)
JLA: The Hypothetical Woman (Gail Simone and Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez)
Rasl Vol. 1: The Drift (Jeff Smith)
Goats: Infinite Typewriters (Jonathan Rosenberg)
Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 — The Authorized Adaptation (Bradbury and Tim Hamilton)
Jack Kirby's The Losers (Kirby)
Richard Stark's Parker: The Hunter (Stark and Darwyn Cooke)
I'm probably looking forward to reading those last two the most, though I've got to admit the Satanic chicken of Goats has its own special kind of gravitational pull.
And for the record, yes, I do read books without pictures, too. Especially when I come across something called I am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to be Your Class President (Josh Lieb). A title like that is catnip, I tells ya.

Those last two books are excellent especially Cooke's adaptation of Parker
Losers came out when I was nearing the end of a year-long Kirby binge. As such, I'v only read the first couple of issues, but they were amazing.
You may have inspired me to go ahead and finish it off, as I am between obsessions this weekend.
Let me know how those Parker Avengers books are, too.
We really do have a wonderful library system here.
