Ever since he was young, Keidai Saeki could remember his past life.  In 79 A.D., he was the roman soldier Sirix, living in the city of Pompeii.  Everyone around him, his parents, and his best friend, Mii Serizawa, are also reincarnations of people from Pompeii.  Keidai's problem is, he is the only person who remembers these past lives.  No one understands what he's talking about.  They just think he's a little strange.  But when his reincarnated wife finally appears as Yuuma, the boy next door, Keidai can only describe his life as "no good."

Hey! It's the pets edition of the all ages comics list this week.  Diary of a Wimpy Kid vol 4 is out, and is about the "dog" days of summer.  Who is this new addition to the Heffley family?  Then there's everyone's favorite Great Dane, Scooby-Doo, who has to face down a giant snake that probably wouldn't make such a good pet.  He's also  perparing to his the big 150!  He's not too far behind Sonic the Hedgehog, who's third series sees it's 9th issue out this week.  And then there are my two picks, which feature some super pets, that everyone can enjoy.
