Global Frequency Vol. 1: Planet Ablaze (2004) by Warren Ellis http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...frequency1.jpg Description from Amazon.com: The Global Frequency is a worldwide organization comprising 1,001 members, each with a specialized talent, which combats unconventional threats to public safety. Some of these menaces are the stuff of science fiction, like a cyborg warrior gone mad. Others are potentially quite real, such as an attempt to release lethal viruses in London. Ellis creates an anthology of thrilling vignettes that are intriguing, exciting, with believable fleshed-out characters. Definitely recommended. ... Creature Tech (2010) by Doug TenNapel http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...eaturetech.jpg What a fun little graphic novel - Great characters, fun plot, and doesn't take itself too seriously. I had a blast with this. Description from Amazon.com: Good battles evil, and the world hangs in the balance! Resurrected by the Shroud of Turin, the zombified Dr. Jameson intends to finish what he started 150 years ago - destroying the earth with a giant space eel! Standing in his way is Dr. Ong, a would-be pastor-turned-scientist who now works in a government research facility infamously known as 'Creature Tech.' Aided by an unlikely cast of rednecks, symbiotic aliens, and a CIA-trained mantid, Dr. Ong embarks on a journey of faith, love, and self-discovery. I mean - How could you NOT want to read this??? Highly recommended. ... Global Frequency Vol. 2: Detonation Radio (2004) by Warren Ellis http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...frequency2.jpg Continuation of the adventures of The Global Frequency Team; haven't finished the volume yet but continues to display Ellis' ability to create intriguing vignettes of thrill, intrigue, and science fiction. |
Locke & Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft (2008) by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...SH20_OU01_.jpg Utterly brilliant horror comic. Recommended to horror fans everywhere. |
Yeah I've enjoyed what I've read of it too.
I understand this is the next one to get a show. |

Battle Scars - 6 part Marvel mini-series coming out of the events of "Fear itself".
Ok, so they've found a way to create the Ultimate/Movie Nick Fury in the existing Marvel Universe...and his friend Phil Coulson, as seen in the current Avengers related films. That was basically the point of this otherwise pointless story. ...but, really - pretty unnecessary. Really obvious attempt to start making money from the movie enthusiasts. The fact that old/white Nick Fury will likely fade out because of this, is a bit shitty. |
Locke & Key, Vol. 2: Head Games by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez (Hardcover - Sep 29, 2009)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...onogrl/lk2.jpg Locke & Key, Vol. 3: Crown of Shadows by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez (Paperback - Jul 19, 2011) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...onogrl/lk3.jpg Really brilliant series. Incredible writing, the characters are vivid and you truly get attached to them. Fantastic gothic story - Can't recommend this enough to horror fans. |
I got nothing....just trying to do a run of all the threads
excuse me |
I'd always wondered about Locke & Key. I'll definitely have to check it out. I'm currently reading tons of comics, but due to financial stuff I'm going to have to pare down my pulls significantly. I know it's not horror, but IDW's TMNT series is pretty phenomenal right now.

Ill probably pick up Locke & Key just b/c I enjoy Hills characters.
Anyone else realize yesterday was free comic book day........ |
I did, but my local store appeared to be all out of free comics by the time I got there. Boooooooo!!!!!!!
