New Comics Day 4/6/11
Apr. 7th, 2011 07:45 pmA very heavy pull-list this week, starting with a new Dungeons & Dragons. Where the head bad guy makes a classic mistake of interrogating a prisoner. Come on dude, kill first then interrogate. Thats what speak with dead spells are for...
And more fantasy goodness in Orc Stain with Bowie and Zazu continuing to wreak havoc in the prison camp, while One-Eye works at finding a way to escape from the belly of the beast...

THe Secret Six are still in Hell, searching out..well various significant people for several of them. Though I think the appearances of several fallen members is a big fake-out. No way any other devils are would still be in charge if fallen Apokolyptians went to Hell...
Mike Allred takes a break from the art duties on iZombie, but happily they get Gilbert Hernandez of Love & Rockets to fill in on this prequel story featuring Ellie the Ghost and the Ghost community at the cemetery...
Heroes For Hire finishes up its first story arc, also still with a fill in artist. Sadly penciler Robert Atkins is not at the same level as original artist Brad Walker. A real detraction in an issue that has both a Misty vs. the Punisher fight and a Iron Fist vs. Paladin, Falcon, Black Widow and Moon Knight brawl...
And we finish with some more disappointing art. With DnA's Annihilators poorly served by Tan Eng Huat. He just doesn't manage to pull off the giant epicness of the Annihilators facing off against a horde of Dire Wraith monsters in skies of Galador under the baleful light of the Black Sun. However, Timothy Green II, the artist on the Rocket Raccoon & Groot back-up more than brings the a-game to a story with anthropomorphic animals and plants and robot clowns and lasers...
