R.I.P. Eddings
Jun. 3rd, 2009 05:15 amAuthor David Eddings passes away at 77. While I found I'd lost my taste for his writing the last time I read his books, they were among my favorites when I was younger...
New Comics Day 6/3/09
Jun. 3rd, 2009 10:05 pmWho knows how much longer I'll be able to afford these big haul weeks until I find more work. So best to enjoy being able to afford more than 3 or 4 books a week while I can...
Starting with Jersey Gods where crisis' are ended, Barock and Zoe are together again and that means the book can start being about the whole Alien Space God marries Girl From Jersey concept that attracted me in the first place...
ps238 manages to present a believable way of meshing Williams' supers book with his fantasy/gamer comic Nodwick. Also more supers era spell-slingers should wear pointy hats. Pointy hats are cool...
The grim & gritty 80s continue in Astro City: Dark Age, with Royal Williams trying to stay out of the way of everything, while brother Charles becomes more and more obsessed with finding and bringing down their parent's killer...
Undercover agent Dash Bad Horse has a bad day, a bad trip and makes what hopefully isn't a bad decision in Scalped...
Secret Six starts up a new story arc, as the team is hired by someone claiming to work for Mockingbird. Except that was Lex Luthor in the original Villains United. I don't think these guys work for Luthor. Oh and a back-up that offers a sneak peak at the new James Robinson Justice League mini. You know when Hal Jordan starts ranting about not being in the shadows of other heroes and taking the fight to bad guys and vengeance and so forth, I'm reminded that he once tried to wipe out the universe. Sure, sure thats all now blamed on him being possessed by a giant yellow space bug-demon-god. But still. Got angry, killed his way thru the GLC in order to acquire more power and then tried to wipe out the universe. Just sayin'...
Becky Cloonan writing a Vasilis Lolos drawn Buffy one-shot called Tales of the Vampires? Yes, please? I mean the hardest part is deciding between the cover by the always superb Joan Chen and the one by brothers Moon and Ba. I went with the twins one though...
War of Kings continues, with arranged marriage newlyweds Ronan and Crystal bonding, and Gladiator and the Starjammers taking Lilandra to reclaim her throne...
The Agents of ATLAS travel to the new Atlantean capitol to confront Namor about his working with Osborne's Cabal of Badness. Oh and a return by ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Derek Khanata from the original mini-series. Cool, haven't seen him since M.O.D.O.K's 11...
And we finish with a new Knights of the Dinner Table with it being shown that Gary Jackson IS alive, Brian gets a hold of a leaked copy of the Hackmaster 5th Edition and where Nitro may have lost control of his Cattlepunk campaign. Plus some excerpts from the upcoming Hackmaster Basic and the usual assortment of bonus strips and articles...
