A Descent into Dullness

Actually got the most recent Comic Book Comics. With this issue covering much of the copyright, trademark and creator's rights issues that have plagued the field since its start...

The second issue of the Li'l Depressed Boy in a geek/hipster kind of way. This issue involves bowling and trying to learn a person's name without actually asking it...

Guarding the Globe is full of interesting new characters. Too full at times. In addition to the previously used heroes and villains we get seven new characters. Two old Kirkman characters from Capes, the rest all new as far as I can tell. Add in numerous fight scenes (which themselves feel rushed) and thats not much space for character and story. I mean I love that they have a French super-powered pug dog but it would nice if the bad guys had a real motivation beyond Because We're Super-Crazy Evil...

iZombie is similar in that it has a zombie and a ghost and a were-terrier and a possessed chimp and a mummy and Promethean/created woman and a flock of vampires and a rogue vampire and a pair of monster hunters and probably some people I'm forgetting. But Roberson and Allred seem to work the limited space better and the characters are better defined with real motivations and personalities...

And Chris Roberson again with the second issue of Cinderella: Fables are Forever. Cindy reminisces about past meetings with rogue Fable Dorothy Gale as well as the "Shadow" Fable communities of Russia and China...
