Was looking at Rat Queens, wasn't sure if I would like it. Might give it a go now.
Going to start: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...dRockets31.jpg Read it for a while when it came out, so going to revisit it. I may just read Jaime Hernandez,'s Hopey/Maggie stories all the way through then go back to the Palomar stuff. |
Definitely give Rat Queens a try; I thought it was really clever and fun.
If you like Love and Rockets, you'd probably like Adrian Tomine - His art is incredible and I love his vignettes. ... The hubby and I just picked up another stash of comic books yesterday... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps4593bae8.jpg So far... Sex Criminals by Matt Fraction - I read the first TP and was genuinely impressed... It took me a while to finally pick it up... I was worried that it would be exploitative and icky, but it's really not... It's about sexual awakening and empowerment - Odd and liberating. Interested to see where it goes. North 40 by Aaron Williams - I picked this up because I'm a fan of Fiona Staples' art... Not a bad little work of horror so far. Flex Mantallo by Grant Morrison - The hubby read it and loved it and desperately wants me to read it... I'm not necessarily the biggest Grant Morrison fan but how can I resist those muscles?? The Best of From The Tomb by Peter Normanton - The hubby says it's a pretty impressive and detailed tome that makes him want to collect the original comics. |
I got distracted from reading 'Love and Rockets' by going back to Hellblazer...
Caught up on the latest issues of UBER: http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/023...wrap_large.jpg |
Just finished North 40 by Aaron Williams
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps2995c8c5.jpg I thought it started out pretty strong - A good little Southern Gothic tale sprinkled with Cthulhu... Gorgeous artwork, great creepy beasties (grimaced at least once with the creepiness)... But it felt abridged and it ended waaaay too soon. It felt incomplete. |
I've never been a fan of the the Riverdale gang but Afterlife With Archie has been really impressive. Francesco Francavilla artwork throughout is absolutely incredible.
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ztFAOWDrlN...0/scan0003.jpg Tim Seeley's Revival is refreshingly imaginative. The Jenny Frison cover artwork is gorgeous. Mike Norton does a great job with the interior artwork and the characters are all dynamic. http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/...2725_large.jpg The Wake has been an interesting science fiction horror mash-up from Batman writer Scott Snyder told both in the present and a post apocalyptic future. http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/...0021_large.jpg |
Let's see. Playing catch up on Gail Simone's titles, so Red Sonja, Batgirl, Tomb Raider and The Movement. Also Captain Marvel because she kicks ass (as does Kelly Sue)

I'm behind of comics but there are a few out and up coming ones I want to check out. I believe a new comic from the Walking Dead writer is coming out soon. Also one called Caliban that looks good. Plus a new Vampirella series just started.
|
"Original Sin" Issues 1-3.
Shaping up to be one of Marvels more interesting events in a while. |
Is anyone in here reading Nailbiter? It's written by Joshua Williamson, who also writes Ghosted. Both are very good and fit the horror genre.
Also who is going to be checking out The Fade Out? It's a new comic by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, the duo who brought you the soon the be finished Fatale. I can't wait for it, they're my favourite creative team and it's going to be centered around the filming of a film noir gone wrong. |
