Comic Comments

Y: The Last Man #28
One of the best books on the shelf. Brian K. Vaughan is a talented writer who's found several new concepts for books to prove that you can do anything in comics. Last issue actually made my heart race by the last page. What a cliffhanger! For those of you who have read the book already (or read me babbling about it before), wouldn't Ryan Reynolds be perfect to play Yorick?

DEMO #11
It's almost over. The 12-issue series is a great experiment. Stand-alone issues and stories. Great writing. Great art. Script collection due January. Expect the trade shortly there after. But it will not include the sketchbook material, commentary and mix tape lists from each creator or the "colorful" letters. Get the single issues. It's worth it.

B.P.R.D. #1
A distinct turn in direction for this book but keeps it's roots deep in Hellboy mythos. B.P.R.D. is horror comics as they should be. Last series Plague of Frogs and now this are finally filling in the foggy background of Abe Sapien, a long-time strong secondary character in the Hellboy series. Intriguing ghost story feeds you into the storyline and I like guy Davis' art. Dave Stewart's coloring makes the book even more appealing. Man, and I a Hellboy junkie!

Daisy Kutter #3
Picking up a lot of steam from a very slow start. The first two issues, while beautiful and engaging, were a LOT of set up. There is a fully realized world to Daisy lives in that is just gorgeous. Last issue is due out next month and I already want more. Damn.

Harry Johnson #2
So bad I couldn't even finish reading it. Yeah...it was that bad.
