71. Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown.
72. The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin.
73. Red by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner.
74. Richard Stark's Parker Book One: The Hunter by Darwyn Cooke.
75. Plastic Man: On the Lam! by Kyle Baker. When it comes to stretchy heroes, I generally prefer either Ralph Dibny or Reed Richards, but Eel O'Brian has his moments. Plastic Man's origin is one of the most stubbornly outdated in all comics, but instead of trying to update it here Baker embraces it, while at the same time slyly sending up all the ways in which Plaz's contemporaries have been re-booted in the last couple of decades. Not all of the jokes work, and the story doesn't make a lot of sense, but the art is perfect Plaz.
