New Comics Day 8/22/12
Aug. 26th, 2012 06:02 pmFirst up I went and grabbed Godzilla: the Half Century War off the older racks. This is the Godzilla book from IDW by James Stokoe, who does the sublime Orc Stain. There is at least one other Godzilla ongoing, but its kind of crap from what I've seen of it. Stokoe's book is pretty darn sweet...
Next up is the Scalped final issue. Some people die, some people step into new roles and on the Rez not much changes at all. Still a few characters manage to find some kind of redemption of a sort...
The Unwritten has Tommy giving a speaking engagement and meeting up with the remains of Tommy cult. As well as Detective Patterson, Danny the Reader and the unicorn...
The latest Courtney Crumrin is mostly flashbacks to the back-story for the tragedy of Skarrow the Changeling...
The comic portions of Knights of the Dinner Table step away from the various campaigns to focus on Gamer's Court and Bob's trial. Though there is a nice moment where Nitro basically tells Skip and Hard8 to basically go fuck themselves over trying to exploit his kid's table gaming group...
Jake & Finn are now stuck in their near future on Adventure Time thanks to messing around with Bubblegum's time machine. And the near future is all messed up with the evil robots...
More flashbackery as Invincible continues to cut between the current Flaxian invasion and Robot and Monster Girl's long sojourn on their home world...
And finally Dark Horse Presents. Not my favorite installment of the anthology series. Yeah, Carla Speed McNeil's "Finder" bit is always great. And its always nice to see some new "Nexus" from Baron & Rude. And Nate Cosby & Evan Shaner's "Buddy Cops" and Mike Russell's "Sabretooth Vampire" are pretty darn funny. But most of the rest of the stories or chapters are mostly meh. Sadly including the latest for "Ghost" and "Aliens"...
