New Comics Day 4/3 & 4/10/13
Apr. 11th, 2013 09:02 pmStarting off with the final (hopefully temporarily) issue of Saucer Country. With at least one of the ufo mysteries partly solved. Though in an way that opens up more investigations. And with a new POTUS...
Adventure Time with Fionna & Cake opens with flavor text further explaining the situation with Fire Prince. But then moves in focus to Lumpy Space Prince. Which is much like original gender LSP stories, not the best...
Glory also wraps up. With a bit more of Glory's backstory and then a visit to the afterlife...
Angel departs Chicago in Savage Dragon while Dragon's people are slaughtered in space, the Claw rampages and her dad awaits his fate in prison...
So the noble Prince Robot in Saga literally has blue blood. Also you can watch dream flashbacks on his head-screen. Thats got to have lead to awkward moments...
Guarding the Globe is over, only to be replaced by Invincible Universe. Same creative team and a story picking up right after GtG's...
More endings, this time for Godzilla: Half-Century War. And the finale has a three-way battle between big G, Mecha-Godzilla (piloted by Murakami) and space-monsters King Ghidorah and Gigan...
And finishing up with Knights of the Dinner Table where the majority of the focus is split between the Ladies of Hack and Crush's rookie game. Where he's running the rarely seen Crime Nation: RPG...

New Comics Day 3/20/13
Mar. 20th, 2013 07:34 pmThough I've also got the one title from last week, Saucer Country. Which hopefully isn't the final issue like I thought, since it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger involving the origin of the Naked Magic Couple...
Wonder Woman, War and Orion (the New God not the Olympian) continue on their Baby Rescue mission...
New Dark Horse Presents, but sadly no new "Finder" this issue. There is an alt-history story about Custer by Howard Chaykin. And a "Fish Police" story, except in some pre-historic setting. Oh and an interview with artist Geof Darrow...
Poor ol' Conan the Barbarian still having relationship problems. Even after following Belit to Shem. And artist Mirko Colak comes close to making me not miss Becky Cloonan on this book...
Between Foggy's cancer and seeing if his last relationship is salvagable, Daredevil hasn't had much time to dedicate to finding out who is screwing with his life. Which means that person mails a box of experimented on attack dogs to his his office...
The Dark Avengers may be getting closer to solving the mystery of Marvel Super Gang Fight World. Or maybe they're just getting close to falling afoul of one of the battling warlords...
Saga has a happy rescue and a sad death and some boning. And Alana has a filthy, filthy mouth...
Still in the picking up the pieces stage on Invincible from Dinosaurus' attempt at population control. Also I can't help but smile at how the major weakness for male Viltrumite's is love...
Adventure Time finishes up the crazy jerk A.I. thats taken over all the other robots story. Plus a second Princess Finn back-up story. With Ice King princess-napping Finn...
And finally decided to check-out the relaunch of Poison Elves. It picks up right where Drew left things before his death and then changes things up by having Luse move away from the Gather Up All My Buds Rescue Jace/Wisp plan...

Feb. 14th, 2013 04:36 pmGot the final issue for Mouse Guard: the Black Axe. With Celanawe being tasked to find a new wielder for the Black Axe. Which leads to his finalizing a choice about his own life...
Saucer Country is almost at an end, with less then a day before the election starts. Leading to the Blue Birds offering to give Alvarado all their data on extraterrestrials and related research fields. Plus the scoop on ALvarado's V.P candidate's abduction experience...
Fatale steps away from Jo and her life and history. To look in on Mathilda, a Fatale in 13th Century France...

New Comics Day 1/23 & 1/30/13
Jan. 30th, 2013 10:28 pmStarting with Marvel we've got Dark Avengers. Where the newly repaired USAgent takes the lead of the titular Avengers' knock-offs, comes up with a bare bones plan to free Moonstone and Skaar and then rescue Reed Richards from King of the Monsters Ben Grimm before Sue, Queen of Atlantis drops the Atlantic Ocean onto Manhattan...
The new Kieron Gillen written Young Avengers is off to a pretty great start. Hell, he and artistic partner Jamie McKelvie actually get to show Wiccan and Hulkling kissing. PLUS Kid Loki and Marvel Boy. The Morrison created one...
Moving over to DC/Vertigo with Wonder Woman. Where the accidental super-hero fight gets stopped almost before it can begin. Also Zola and Hera go out drinking. AND Still Unnamed First Son of Zeus dude beats up some giant ice dudes..
Saucer Country has a story about faeries and how they may be connected with current UFOology stuff. Its a real pity this series is getting cancelled, so early in its run. Hopefully, Paul Cornell will find a way to do more with this, since there is no possible way for him to wrap this up in the few remaining issues...
The Unwritten is back to the "real" world. In that its a world where dyslexic Aussie cops team up with a vampire reporter to investigate a case of murder-by-zombie...
Stumptown ends its second volume, with the mystery of the stolen & returned guitar solved, some skinhead drug dealers busted and Dex even gets a bonus out of it...
Courtney Crumrin attempts to take refuge with the Lady of Goblin Town, but her uncle follows her even into that twilight realm...
The latest Adventure Time tricks you into thinking its going to be one of those damned Lumpy Space Princess centric episodes, but then its all about giant bunches of wizards. I personally want to find out more about Otter Magi...
Given the grim ads of the last few months. And the very death centric covers, the 100th issue of Invincible is more than a bit of a fake out...
Glory and her gang take a break to chill and check in with loved ones before preparing to face the apparently unstoppable Knight of Thule...
Amidst all the regular super-weird scifi awesomeness of Prophet is a sort-of cameo by Supreme. Making three somewhat unexpected eXtreme Studios characters showing up. Maybe next they'll have, I don't know, Brigade or Vogue...
The strips of the latest Knights of the Dinner Table are book-ended by the Knights to start, with a off his game Brian. And the Black Hands at the end, where poor Gordo's campaign setting is getting thoroughly trashed...
The Massive ends with a surprising supposed betrayal aboard the floating drilling rig/city state....
And finally the latest Dark Horse Presents with more "Finder", "X", that Pokemon parody, "Resident Alien", some supers thing by Michael Avon Oeming and other stories...

New Comics Day 12/12/12
Dec. 14th, 2012 05:47 pmKeeping going with the 2nd issue of Clone. Which fills in the How of the cloning conspiracy, while ignoring the Why. Seriously, why would a government agency go to the vast expense of creating a huge number of clones, set up monitoring on them for decades and then do NOTHING with that? I'm still curious to see where it keeps going, but that is some weak back story building...
The Dark Avengers team of knock-offs plus Moonstone and Skaar are in some alternate Marvel U where all the main heroes are some kind of totalitarian gang bosses who have divided up New York between them...
Saucer Country has the Democratic debate and a bunch of discussion on conspiracies. All wrapped in a vague sense of unreality as usual...
Marceline and the Scream Queens finishes up as Marceline flips right the Hell out at their farewell concert and so Princess Bubblegum has to come back and set things right. Plus a back-up featuring a jerk centaur whose band is a rival to Marcy's...
Courtney Crumrin escapes from her uncle and Rawhead, but Calpurnia is taken back to the Council for trial. So Courtney goes looking for someone else she can hide with. Plus a fairly touching moment with Courtney's mom...
The Massive sees the Kapital docking at a free city state set on an abandoned oil rig. And the conflicting goals of the crew look to be coming more sharply into focus...
And also this week is Brian Wood's other Dark Horse book, Conan the Barbarian. Which has Conan making shore with the rest of the Tigress's crew half-dead with an unknown illness. And the still healthy Conan being urged to abandon Belit and the rest to save himself...
Lastly Knights of the Dinner Table is still at GaryCon. And the UT+1 can't seem to get their act together, getting stomped by the other teams. Though things look hopeful for the honor of Muncie as Nitro's Peewee player team kick-ass and take names in the tournament...

New Comics Day 11/14/12
Nov. 15th, 2012 07:49 pmSaucer Country's big UFO bit this time around is providing a "realistic" explanation for Men in Black stories while having a bit of weirdness almost immediately counter to it...
The focus on the Massive this time is on former Tamil Tiger and mercenary Mag Nagendra and what the line is between piracy and salvage...
Conan the Barbarian and his pirate queen are back at sea. Where a moment of mercy for a castaway may end up costing them everything...
Marceline and the Scream Queens latest gig is a concert in Marceline's former home, the Nightosphere. And where Mar's drama looks to have finally gotten to be more than Bubblegum is willing to deal with...
Coutrney Crumrin and Calpurnia take temporary shelter with another outcast witch. But Uncle Al and the Council's other hunters are still close on them...
Its fun with the in-laws as Marko's parents continue their drop-in visit in Saga...
In addition to the regular hop skotch of back-story check-ins the current Invincible has a..um..family..er...
Ok look, Bulletproof aka "new" Invincible tells his fucked-up origin story which leads to an even more crazy fucked-up thing. And its followed by a sort of authorial character stand-in kind of explaining why...

New Comics Day 10/17 & 10/24/12
Oct. 24th, 2012 10:06 pmTwo weeks worth of comics because..well because..um..because shut up thats why. Yeah, thats why...
Starting with some Courtney Crumrin, with Courtney and her teacher on the road and battling the hunters of the Council...
Then a one-shot return to Marvel's zombie Earth for Van Lente with Marvel Zombies Halloween. And a survivor story with a holiday appropriate guest spot...
Next Daredevil reveals the mastermind behind the whole Matt-is-crazypants plot. And while I can always appreciate a good D-level villain reinvents themselves tale I still am amazed that Daredevil figures out who it is without ever even thinking "vampire". 'Cause I totally would have gone with vampire...
the Dark Avengers face off against the returned full team of Thunderbolts. They don't come off so well. Especially as that includes a re-empowered Cain Marko...
Saucer Country is past the world/mythos building to get back to the focus on the joint presidential race/x-files investigation...
Decided to at least try out the new Sword of Sorcery title from DC, since Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld was always one of those off-genre bits of the DCU I've been curious about. Its a decent if somewhat stereotypical lost heir to the magical kingdom thing. Still its a hard sell at $4 for 20 pages with the "extra" value of a re-imagined Beowulf back-up story....
Wonder Woman begins its new big story arc with Diana and her allies, including a banished from Olympus Hera, looking for allies amidst Zeus other demi-divine children...
Glory and company set off from her base to begin searching for her little sister, Nanaja. Who is basically Glory with all the brakes taken off...
And then we've got Savage Dragon with more alien invasion aftermath for Malcom and Angel Dragon. Plus some more violent overreaction by the new Overlord...
Then its this week starting with the Unwritten. And Tommy goes on a walkabout back into the world's of fiction by after hearing the Australian whale origin myth of Kondili...
I also grabbed the A-Babies Vs. X-Babies one-shot. 'Cause Skottie Young and Gurihiru writing and drawing half the Marvel Universe as brawling babies is too adorable for words...
Over on Adventure Time Finn & Jake engage in multiple time trips and crazy Princess Bubblegum science-ings in order to get back to the status quo they started from...
The majority of the Knights of the Dinner Table cast is still at Garycon. Where we learn that Felicia Day is so magical she can even overcome Brian's near crippling shyness around women he's attracted too...
And then a doubleshot of Brandon Graham. First off with the scifi crazy awesomeness of Prophet. And then a different kind of scifi crazy with the return of his Multiple Warheads series. Which is totally crammed with visual puns and concepts, much like his King City. MW follows Sexica, former alien organ smuggler and her werewolf boyfriend Nikou as they go on a road trip in search of a new life and home...
After that Invincible wraps up the Flaxan/Robot/Monster Girl story. Relationships are rebuilt, secrets are revealed, secrets are kept, love is confessed and awkward sex is had. Not necessarily all by the same people...
And finally a new Dark Horse Presents. With "Finder" getting the main cover this time around. Plus a "Mr. Monster" story that features Munden's Bar...
Starting with some Courtney Crumrin, with Courtney and her teacher on the road and battling the hunters of the Council...
Then a one-shot return to Marvel's zombie Earth for Van Lente with Marvel Zombies Halloween. And a survivor story with a holiday appropriate guest spot...

New Comics Day 9/12/12
Sep. 16th, 2012 06:26 pmThe Massive has Kapital stopping off at Somalia to resupply. Since post-Crash, Mogadishu is somewhat thriving market port...
I'm disappointed to learn Cloonan won't be back on Conan the Barbarian anytime in the foreseeable future. I mean Vasilis Lolos isn't terrible or nothin' but oh well...
Robinson brings the Shade mini-series to a close by telling the titular character's origin story. Not so shockingly it involves murder and black magic...
Saucer Country is another infodump issue. This time on the origins of the Bluebirds group, who are like a secret society of UFO-ologist/flight engineers...
Marceline and the Scream Queens get a bad review. And Guy the Werewolf reveals that he is actually a werefish. Plus a back-up story about Duke Lemongrab...
And finally Rucka starts a second volume of Stumptown. With PI Dex Parios taking a job to find a stolen guitar for Miriam Bracca. Rucka's alcoholic rocker from his "A Fistful of Rain" novel...

Aug. 16th, 2012 02:12 pmStarting with the latest the Shade, with the titular anti-hero dealing with the alien/godlings he sort of unleashed on London. With cameos by a few of DC's UK supers. Also this issue has the drawn ads for the "Grimm" premiere which do not come off very well when opposite a page of Frazier Irving art. Nope they do not...
Wonder Woman has another confrontation with her Olympian relatives at the throne of Zeus and chooses preserving life over continued conflict. Or at least she tries to...
Over in Saga our fugitive family makes it to the Rocketship Forest. And Prince Robot IV has a brief conversation with the Will about an unfortunate shooting incident...
Fatale is still in the 1970s and all weird cults and junkie actors and secret graveyard ceremonies...
Daredevil and Waid are back, hot on the heels of last week's Alan Davis drawn and written annual. With a mostly flashback issue with art duties from Michael and Laura Allred...
ThunDark Avengers is still split between the time-tossed T-Bolts and the current Dark Avengers team. Though it looks like the two stories are getting linked closer together...
The former students of Avengers Academy, most de-powered continue to come to terms with jerkface Jeremy "Alchemist" Briggs and his plans for global change. Though X-23 appears to have settled on "I will gut him like a fish before I die of heavy metals poisoning"...
Saucer Country takes a story-break issue to look at an overview of UFO mythology and what it all might mean...
And finally Snarked! has our moderately brave heroes making plans to steal the Snark's treasure to restore their kingdom's treasury and then hopefully escape from the island. But first a return visit by the Cheshire Cat...

Presidential candidate and secret alien abductee survivor Governor Arcadia partially neutralize the problem presented by Dr. Glass the repressed memories hyponist/psychiatrist over in Saucer Country...
More survival at sea after the apocalypse with Brian Wood's the Massive. This time with a visit to the still just surviving port of Hong Kong. Plus more pirates...
And still more Brian Wood and pirates with the new Conan the Barbarian. Still Harren on art. Though I just noticed that Dave Stewart is lettering both books. Wonder if that is because of Wood or that both are published by Dark Horse...
And finally Adventure Time gets a spin-off mini-series comic with Marceline and the Scream Queens. Featuring six issues of Marceline the Vampire Queen and her rock band, with Princess Bubblegum as their band manager. Written by Octopus Pie's Meredith Gran...

New Comics Day 6/13/12
Jun. 13th, 2012 10:10 pmInvincible continues to only have a limited amount of its titular character. Instead mostly focusing on Invinci-Bulletproof. And also what happened with Monster Girl and Robot when they trapped in that alien universe...
The creepiest part of Saucer Country isn't the possibility of actual aliens. But that the UFOologist stuff is based on real people...
The Shade moves into its final arc, with a return to London and Frazer Irving as the new artist...
With Resurrection Man slated for the next round of cancellation it looks like DnA is working to at least finish up their main story. Sadly, I think I'll have to consider Resurrection Man to have been similar to the relaunched Static Shock. Something that never really approached its potential...
After numerous prequel samples in DHP, Brian Wood launches the Massive. A post-apocalyptic oceanic scifi story...
And also from Wood is a new Conan the Barbarian. Still Harren instead of Cloonan on art. And the dude on the cover really, really, really doesn't look like Conan. But on the plus side Conan totally messes up a dude and his girlfriend does a number on some guards...
And lastly Knights of the Dinner Table has the Knights back on their regular campaign world after pretty much blowing up Bag World. Plus Tank helps to coach Crutch for another attempt to pass his GM credentials test. I'm always glad to see strips with Crutch in them...
