I grew up on a farm in Maryland. I was Home Schooled under the umbrella of the Seventh-day Adventists School. For the past 16 years I’ve been working at a printing company operating digital presses and bindery equipment for mailing, fulfillment and print on demand work. I usually work 2nd shift but my hours can be all over the place.

I enjoy reading comics and watching TV and movies and playing video games.

Thanks for the eBay tips on that out-of-print Superman: Secret Identity series. I checked out the shipping to Canada and it was ok, so I’ve ordered them. It’s my first time ordering off eBay! I’ll have to let you know how it goes.

Hey man, saw your review of Hickman’s current Fantastic Four run. I’m thinking of subbing and catching up on his run from the beginning and was wondering if you thought his run is like any of his previous work you might of read. I’m a huge fan of Pax Romana and if his FF run is anything like it, I’m sold.

Thanks

Andy says:

Got him. Thanks!

dredwngs says:

Aaron said:

CF/H-K #3 should ship Wednesday November 18th.

vimian says:

I’m subbed to the trade and not the issues so I dunno.

tkcaptaina says:

Fist of justice looks interesting. Would like to get a few or a trade.

dredwngs says:

cool thanks. just hate when they don’t say anything about it

Aaron said:

cyberforce/hunter killer #2 is shipping on Sept. 30th. http://www.topcow.com/Site/upcoming.html

dredwngs says:

have you also given up hope of ever seeing cyberforce/hunter killer #2 ?

Cesar says:

I hope you are right…but if we can’t read #5 any time soon it does not look possible

Aaron said:

Yeah, but at least he will live on, in the comixology app and in print on demand. Who knows, maybe it will get popular enough to go back to print at some point.

Cesar says:

Are you bummed as much as I am that old Fisty might not have a comic?

It’s finally coming together. Nice back story of the Anchor. This issue sheds some light on who the Anchor was, what he is and how it happened.

Awesome issue. It’s also a fine starting point, if you don’t want to start back at #1.

If someone injecting a cat with a fluid that turns the cat into a periscope and then that said someone uses periscope cat by looking into his butt is too strange for you then go find some other book.

Here’s the nitty gritty, it’s 32 pages b/w, Golden Age size and costs $2.39 (CHEAP!) so, you’re getting your moneys worth right off the bat.

Four issues in and I am invested in the characters in the story as well as the unseen “character” Brandon Graham. You get insight to the interesting life of the creator Brandon Graham in the front (back?) of each issue. Those little bits of insight into Brandon Graham’s world seem to help flesh out the world of King City. That along with the cool art, surreal world and off beat humor makes King City one of my favorites.

It’s “Oh, the places you’ll go!” for that twisted grad that you know. It’s 24 pages and about the size of a photograph. It learns that the world doesn’t begin and end with beating kittens. There is oh so much more!

Please note that Jhonen Vasquez has a strange sense of humor that may not be for everyone.

If you’re looking to pick up a title from DC that isn’t a slave to the crossover or big event of the season then this might be a good choice. It takes place in the DC universe so you will still run into characters like Dick Grayson, Wonder Woman, Batman villains as well as others. The Secret Six is made of a bunch of B-listers but after reading a few issues, if the Secret Six were ever to be at odds with the A-listers you’ll find yourself rooting for the Secret Six. Expect dark comedy and violence. The Secret Six is my favorite DC title.

I just read the volume 1 trade. Great adventure story, top notch stuff. Should be in every comic collector’s collection.

And here’s one for the Hickman and Eaglesham team up. Classic adventures and fun banter that makes the Fantastic Four so fantastic. Fitting art with a hint of a Kirby homage to it. It’s one of my favorite Marvel titles at the moment.

I subbed this book because of the events in Punisher: The List and for the preview of Punisher #11 in the same book.

Rick Remender has a way of writing that makes me forget that I am actually reading. (If that makes any sense.) I noticed the same with his “Last Days of American Crime”. Anyway, back to Punisher. I love the Franken-Castle story arc, it puts Frank in a situation that you would never imagine him in while bringing to light a cast of Marvel characters that have been in the dark for too long. Tony Moore’s art is beautiful and is wonderfully complemented by Dan Brown’s amazing colors.

It may not be for the traditional Punisher fan but if you are a fan of comics as a whole you should definitely check this out.

This is a book of character bios. That’s it. No story, no new art just character bios.

To be clear, I gave this 2 stars because I was expecting more than just character bios. If you buy it knowing what it is, you may enjoy it.

No crossover, no huge events, just a superhero comic about an old school hero 30 years out of his time. If you’ve never read a Fist of Justice comic, this is as good a place as any to start. Issue 4 contains two stand alone stories, the first with art by Eduardo Savid, in it Fist of Justice AKA Marc Mason deals with culture shock, a lava monster and a reporter out to drag him through the mud. The second with art by Chad Hardin, in it Fist of Justice teams up with one of Justice City’s finest to tackle an army of bored mole men, with a surprise ending with someone that may be able to shed some light on Marc Mason’s past.

Boring. Generic. Standard. These are all words that would describe this book well on opposite day.

There is so much time, care and love poured into this book, it takes my breath away. Don’t be fooled by the first glance of the dark, morbid doom. There is doom, but it’s good doom, loved doom. The art is beautiful and the details are amazing. Every page is a splash page with art and love bleeding all the way to the edges. Smart and unique layouts. Each page is packed with eye candy. I saw one of Doc Hammer’s Saints hanging on Guy’s bedroom wall. I wonder if there are any other Easter eggs?

The God Machine has a great premise, top notch writing and entertaining characters. There are fully detailed character bios in the back of the book to flesh out the characters even more. By the end of the book I can’t wait to follow Guy on his journey. 48 pages, no ads. Buy this book. And buy the Graphic Novel in 2010.

P.S. You shouldn’t be misled by the word “Preview.” This is a very satisfying first chapter of a larger story.

You have the main characters who are hulking out and ripping people to pieces, then you have the supporting characters who are getting ripped to pieces by the people hulking out. I am only 2 issues in so who knows what could happen. But for now it’s all very violent and I have no idea where the story is headed. I do however still have hope for the series.

As someone who only knows of the darkness and has only heard of Pitt, I was comfortable reading the first issue without feeling lost. I am interested to see where the story goes and the art is absolutely beautiful.

Conspiracies, kidnapping, UFOs and on the run from the Government. Fun stuff! The only critique I have is for the font size. Please, please, please increase it.
