Two Books You SHOULD Be Reading!

Written by Justin Jordan with art by Tradd Moore, The Strange Talent Of Luther Strode is a great, graphically violent

book filled with mystery and intrigue. Any time a character can kill someone by extracting their own tooth and spitting

it at them, I’m on board!

No, mam, you should probably hang on to that last one!

The Strange Talent Of Luther Strode is a mini-series, but at only $2.99 a pop, it’s well worth it!

Written by Michael Alan Nelson, with art by Matteo Scalera,(Any artist’s left out there with names like Joe or Mike?!)

Valen The Outcast is a great little read and an epic start to something that can really go the distance.

Speaking of going the distance!

The story starts out with Lord Brand, noble King and ruler of Oakhaven. He’s fighting some undead baddies, when he’s

killed and turned into a walking meat sack! Even dead this dude is smart, as he manages a way out of the binding curse

that makes him do the biddig of some master of evil dude!

No, not him!

Anyway, Lord Brand, or Zombie Brand embarks on a mission to get his soul back, and with the help of a motley crew, he

might just do that! (Thought I was going to do a Tommy Lee Joke right there, didn’t ya?!)

Any undead guy that can bite off a blade and spit it at someone, killing them, has my attention, and at only a buck, this

book is an awesome deal…pick it up!!!

DC’S New 52 – The BEST TWO TITLES YOU SHOULD BE READING!!!

Who ever thought I’d be saying this, but the two titles you SHOULD be reading are:

With the addition of Abigail Arcane, the story of Swamp Thing just keeps getting better!

Let’s not even mention the fact that this title is creepy as hell, and less weird than..

Animal man is officially the weirdest/creepiest title I curretnly read, and that’s saying a lot!

The battle between the Rot, Green, and Red has only just begun!!!

DC New 52 Comic Books – Update!

Once again, here is an update on a few titles; ones I’ll keep reading, others I’ll wave the white flag on!

DC Universe Presents Deadman started out as an interesting book but has taken a turn.

Unfortunatly the story Paul Jenkins alludes to within this issue, is better than the actual

story he’s telling. I’m probably done with this title. Sorry Paul 🙁

While I continue to like the storytelling, this issue was a bit off for me.

Awkward panel placement made this story seem jilted, leaving a sour taste in my mouth.

Resurrection Man keeps rolling along, leaving me wanting more each month!

Keep up the good work and I’ll keep reading!!!

Starting with a potential train explosion and ending with a slap-fest with NightWing, this issue has it all. Unfortunately, having it all can sometimes mean being a little off key.

To go from a train explosion to a heart-felt scene with two  emotionally dumb characters is a little too strange for me.

First Day On Set For….THE CASE

As you can tell, everyone involved had a lot of fun!

PEZ announces new Spiderman Movie dispensers!!!!

It looks like PEZ is in the business of making movies…… Movie dispensers that is!

PEZ showed off their cool new PEZ dispensers,  showcasing their ability for life-like greatness!

These epic new dispensers will be a great addition to any PEZ collector or Spiderman fan.

(The Lizard looks Awesome!)

DC’s New 52- UPDATE!!!!

Still lots of action and silly fun…but with a Max Lord Appearance…That alone is keeping me around.

The body doubles make their first appearance (again), and the mystery continues…slow burn, but worth the wait!

This one is interesting, but as my pull list grows, I’m not sure how much longer it can keep me around.

DC’s New 52- Update!

Action Comics #2 kept the pace of the first one and upped the suspense with the last page!

Batgirl’s still rockin it, but I would have liked a little longer for the mystery of this character to unfold.

Damian Wayne creeps me out…and I love it! Keep writing this gold, Peter!

Scott Snyder is still bringing the pain with this one…keep on buying!!!

Severed #1- A Rare Treat or a Treat served Rare!!!!

Written by Scott (Batman) Synder & Scott Tuft with art by Attila Futaki(I can’t make up these names, folks!), Severed is a rare creepy treat on a large shelf of comic/horror disappointments. 

Beginning in the present, then delving into the past, Jack Garron’s life is a mystery, or at least until his grandson, Jimmy shows up wiht a not from an “old friend”, sending Jack spiraling back into the confines of his memories of a youth quite possibly wasted. Nothing creepy about an old man, missing an arm, receiving a cryptic note from his grandson, saying some creepy guy gave it to him! NOOOO, totally normal!

Nope, nothing creepy here!

The story also parallels a creepy(Gonna use that word a lot!) little tale of an orphan boy and a strange older man named Mister Porter….but I’ll let u read that story with fresh eyes….Muahahahahahahaha!!!!

All in all, this is a great little mini-series well worth the price of admission! Grab the first four issues while they’re still available!!!

Penguin: Pain and Prejudice #1 (of 5)

Written by Gregg Hurwitz with amazingly moody art by Szymon Kudranski, Penguin: Pain and Prejudice plays out like a beautifully crafted mystery with the subtlety of a bank heist film. Much like that bank heist film,  Oswald plays with with his hostages/victims with decisiveness and grace, much like that of..well, a penguin!

It’s true!

The story begins, telling us the story of what is to come  paralelled with the story of how Oswald became the Penguin. From the time he was dropped on his head, to the forceful nature of his father and the disgust of his fellow classmates, we learn how hardened a man can really become. It is with this grace in storytelling, Gregg Hurwitz leads us into a story of tragedy and triumph, pain and sorrow.

I for one and thrilled with this book and believe it to be one of the better stories to come out of the DC revamp. DC should take this ball and run with it, retelling origins and stories with such care as this, will surely make them a powerful force in the comics industry for years to come! Bravo DC, Bravo…..

Lovin the Penguin,
