Hexed #4

When is the CW going to turn this into a TV Show? Seriously. It’s right up their alley and it’ would rock out loud.
Allow me to make my case:
Monthly Archives: November 2014
Deep State #1
Boom! Studiios
Words: Justin Jordan
Pictures: Ariela Kristantina
I’m a sucker for a conspiracy theory. I’m also a sucker for good marketing. And ever since I saw the teaser image for this book (which ended up being the cover to issue #1) I wanted to get my hands on it. And here we are.
Grindhouse: Slay Ride #1
Dark Horse
Words: Alex De Campi
Pictures: R. M. Guera
I hope you’re wearing your creepy weird pants, because you’re going to need ‘em with this story. Because, you know, it’s creepy and weird.
Resurrectionists #1
Dark Horse
Words: Fred Van Lente
Pictures: Maurizio Rosenzweig
Colors: Moreno Dinisio
So let me get this straight: We’ve got thieves, covert organizations, and people who can channel their skills from their past lives into today? Go on…
X #19
Dark Horse
Words: Duane Swierczynski
Pictures: Eric Nguyen
I’m starting to worry about X. He may have some issues with positive boy image and self-esteem. Plus, he doesn’t seem to be making good choices. Now that I think about it, I should probably be more worried about Duane and Eric. They’re the ones putting him through all this.
Dark Ages #4
Dark Horse
Words: Dan Abnett
Pictures: I. N. J. Culbard
The best of both worlds. Nope, not the Van Hagar song (though don’t get me wrong, I actually dig some Van Hagar and that song as well) but the best of some Sci-Fi and some Medieval knight action. And it’s all done so damn well. Hell, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos loves this book! (You know,that crazy haired dude who is always talkin’ about aliens on that Ancient Aliens show. Yeah, him. You know he’s lovin’ this book. )
The Empty Man #5
Boom! Studios
Words: Cullen Bunn
Pictures: Vanesa R. Del Rey
This is one dark book. Not just story wise, although a supernatural disease is pretty dark, but from a visual aspect as well.
The Woods #7
Boom! Studios
Words: James Tynion IV
Pictures: Micahel Dialynas
James Tynion IV has brewed up a heady tale with The Woods. It’s like a well-crafted beer, where each issue, each taste, reveals a bit more character, and complexity and substance to what was already an intriguing blend. And each taste leaves you wanting more.
The Ghost Fleet #1
Dark Horse
Words: Donny Cates
Pictures: Daniel Warren Johnson
When I was a kid, I got Diary of a Madman by Ozzy Osbourn (vinyl, of course) for Christmas, and it was ridiculously cool. The Ghost Fleet #1 is kind of like finding Diary of a Madman under the tree.
Grendel vs The Shadow #3
Dark Horse
Words and Pictrues:
Matt Wagner
While I’m sad to see this mini-series end (even though that’s what mini-series do) I couldn’t be happier with how it came to a close.
