The Picks:

Big Bad Fox Big Bad Fox GN – First Second finds an unusual twist on the fox-in-the-henhouse story. Fox dreams of catching a chicken dinner, but no one on the farm, not even the hens, are the least bit intimidated. Not even his mentor Wolf can get him past his incompetence, until then they come up with a brilliant plan: Fox can steal some eggs and raise dinner himself! But Fox’s plans change when three adorable chicks hatch and call him “Mommy.” French cartoonist Benjamin Renner has created a hilarious and touching story about parenthood that both parents and kids will love.

Kitaro Tanuki WarKitaro And The Great Tanuki War SC – Drawn and Quarterly continue their release of the adventures of Japanese classic monster boy Kitaro. This time Kitaro and his allies face the tanuki, a raccoon-like trickster and well-known in yokai legends. The furry beasts have built an army intent on taking over Japan by using the power of the blood moon to awaken a monstrous catfish that lives in the depths of the Earth. The catfish’s twisting causes earthquakes that threaten to destroy all of Japan, but with all of his allies captured, Kitaro must face the tanuki army alone. The variety of Japanese monsters and Kitaro’s abilities to fight or befriend them make this a great series to keep coming back to read.
