New Comics Day 7/23 & 7/30/14
Jul. 30th, 2014 10:42 pmTwo weeks of comics and three of them Conan comics. Van Lente's Conan the Avenger where young-ish Conan continues to try and replace heart-ache and loss with blood-shed and cheap sex. Then old man Conan finishes his tale of when middle-aged Conan retook his kingdom and married his second great love in King Conan. And finally the match-up demanded by all begins with the first issue of Groo Vs. Conan. With Aragones joined by Thomas Yeates, who I'm guessing does the non-cartoony Conan bits...
I like Fejzula's art on Veil. The story doesn't really hold up as well sadly. Especially when compared to Fatale, which has its big finale issue. And traps are sprung and lives are ended and happy endings are in short supply...
Also up, more of Burbaker's burned spy Velvet where, among other moments, we see what moment led to her being moved to an administration position...
Prophet sort of finishes up with plenty of future weirdness and alien nightmare monsters. And what looks to be the two "good" John Prophets joining forces for the upcoming Prophet Earth War mini-series...
Saga gives us a rampaging janitor, a drugged out actress, a pet walrus monster and Prince Robot learning of the murder of his wife and birth of his son...
Malcolm Dragon is held prisoner by the Freaks of the Danger Zone neighborhood in Savage Dragon. While Dart II sends her Vicious Circle goons out hunting for him...
With Wonder Woman captured by the First Born, its all out war between his forces and the residents, old and new, divine and mortal, of Paradise Island...
Tom Taylor continues his quest for the Grail in the Unwritten: Apocalypse, gaining headway by playing with the story tropes for the setting. While Pullman throws some obstacles in his way from differing story concepts...
Dead Boy Detectives has Crystal forcing Charles to meet with his living half-sister and learn more of his family...
Amidst all the fun of violent smugglers and pacifist Harkonen refugees, the Alien Legion's Force: Nomad see the return of Jugger Grimrod's ol' "pal" Pike. Which is to say one of the many people with a grudge and a gun...
The dread Aku devises a new plan to put an end to Samurai Jack. Direct invasion of his brain in order to destroy his memories!
And finally more Turtles in Time: TMNT. Currently, for given values of currently, the turtle brothers are in Feudal Japan. Specifically at the moment of their (and their father's) previous incarnations. Almost worth it alone for Mikey's joy at getting to hug his mom...
