As the spring of 2007 rolls softly into the summer of 2007, I hear you asking, "How can this year get any better?" But it can, my friend, with one simple purchase-Tank Girl: The Gifting # 2. A perfect blend of the sublime and the ridiculous, brought to you by Tank Girl writer and Co-creator Alan C. Martin and the format-smashing, antipodean wunderkind artist Ashley Wood. Featuring the first part of the epic "The Innocent Die First," the concluding installment of the cryptic Booga tale, "The XZ-38," and a cracking pin-up of bonkers beauty Barney, too.
