Wow. What can I say about “The Humans”? It was spectacular. The adjective that kept coming to my mind when thinking about this series is “brazen.” It felt like it was breaking rules. That is probably because of all the not so good comics I have read in my lifetime. A really good one stands out like it’s breaking the rule that comics can’t be this good. The writing and art both seemed really fresh to me, and the story had me locked in. Continue reading

Hey everyone, I’m back with Descender by Image Comics, and I have to say this is an interesting comic. Everything about this comic – from the story telling, art, story line and so much more – is very unsettling. And that is what makes it such a good comic. Continue reading

When I was a kid it was easy to find the hero in the story. The guy with the tights, the girl with the lasso, the mild-mannered person who occupied nearly every frame of the book until something bad happened, and then they pulled a cape out and went to work was the good guy. The bad guy was the one who either had a sinister grin on his face, or was dangling the hero’s lady-friend or aged aunt off the edge of a building.

Part of the attraction of comic books is that, for as long as I can remember, the artist and the writer both get a good deal of fame. (Colorists and Letterers are on the upswing now as well, as they should be.) It’s a symbiotic relationship that the artist and writer need each other, despite past accomplishments, to make a book work. Continue reading

Krampus! Volume 1
Written by Brian Joines
Illustrated by Dean Kotz
Colors by Ron Riley
Letters by Charles Pritchett
If you think about it. The idea of Santa Claus is pretty creepy. An old guy who breaks into your house and leaves things for your kids without you knowing who he is or what his criminal background is. As if that weren’t bad enough some disturbed parents in the Alpine regions of Europe decided that their children, while mostly good for the month of December, did not have enough to worry about the rest of the year. No gift from Santa was not sufficient penalty to keep them in line. So they invented the Krampus.
I had never heard of the Krampus until about three years ago when I saw Rare Imports, a Finish film released in 2010 about something sinister inside a lonely, snow-covered mountain. If you do a Google search on the subject, you will see some truly horrifying pictures of traditional Krampus parades in far-off countries. The Krampus, for those who don’t know, it the yin to Santa Claus’ yang, the black to his white, the creature that comes on Christmas eve to punish bad little girls and boys in various sadistic ways. This book takes a decidedly lighter position on the Krampus. I give you Krampus! Vol. 1from Image Comics, a collection of the first five issues of the series. Continue reading

Let’s get this out of the way first. This is still the same book. This is not a variant, this is not a spin-off, this is number 2 of Tooth and Claw, the next issue in the series that debuted last month. The problem, so the press release stated, was that they messed up the trademark search. So, easy fix, we’ve a new title. The Autumnlands: Tooth and Claw #2 dropped this week.
The citizens of a fallen city sit around a small fire and hope for the coming of a legendary hero. Their city has crashed due to their magical fidgeting. Now they are camped in the ruins and fighting amongst themselves, arguing about who their savior will be. And then the Bison Tribes arrive and begin the wholesale slaughter of the “intelligent” ones.

Scott Snyder has a rabid fan base. If anyone has read American Vampire you can see his love of horror fiction. His run on Batman broke records and changed the way people look at the whole DCU. As if ole’ Bats wasn’t a flagship property already, Snyder cemented that position for years to come. Continue reading
