Oh, don't get me wrong, I think he's a phenomenal artist. If mentioning Dave Stewart came off as disparaging it wasn't my intention.

Astro City is never "good" it's "amazing" and "great". Those are really the only adjectives to be used. I love Astro City and have been looking forward to it's return for many years. It rewards old readers as well as super accessible for new readers as well. Overall A plus.

Guys Azz and Risso are back on a 100 Bullets spinoff named Brother Lono and it rules, also features one of the best covers ever for issue 3: 8 part series about Lono's exploits after the end of 100 bullets (spoilers for 100 bullets I guess)

Some of the best stories are in the back half! Plus some of the best characters dont even get introduced until that point like Victor Ray-gun.

I don't understand how anyone can not like any of it. Pure gold from front to back. Jerkface posted:Guys Azz and Risso are back on a 100 Bullets spinoff named Brother Lono and it rules, also features one of the best covers ever for issue 3: This looks amazing and I will be buying it as soon as the trade hits Amazon. What I'd always hoped for would be a "Tales of the Minutemen" mini-series with stories of various Minutemen exploits since their inception.

Yeah even if you don't know anything about 100 Bullets you might enjoy Lono just to watch a horrible person to horrible things to slightly more horrible people.

If you like his art (Sean Gordon Murphy) also check out the 8 issue series he did with Grant Morrison called "Joe the Barbarian." It's exceptionally imaginative and the art is amazing. He also did one of the mini series for American Vampire (Survival of the Fittest) that's good too (if you're already reading AmVamp).

Don't they realise how much of a slap in the face that is to the people who support the books month in, month out?

So I just read Joe the Barbarian and that was crazy, too. I enjoyed it's whole deal. Crowd shots, man. Love them. I will probably check out the Wake now. Does it have anything to do with some dude's dad though? Scott Snyder and all.

And here is first cover image for the series. This is the same piece that was run for today’s NY Times article but a better view. You’ll note the difference in color versus the article version. For some reason the image shown for the Times article looks grey, or dulled, or darkened. So I wanted to show it here with a clarification on the color. In both virgin and text design versions… But put them side by side...

Kull the Conqueror posted:The new Sandman title will be called Sandman: Overture and it's coming in October. That's really not that far away. I am freaking out a little bit. The other news is that DC is attempting to push a revival of the line this fall: quote:HINTERKIND – Decades after “The Blight” all but wiped out the human race, Mother Nature is taking back what’s hers and she’s not alone … all the creatures of myth and legend have returned and they're not happy. After her grandfather disappears, Prosper Monday must leave the security and seclusion of her Central Park village to venture into the wilds to find him, unaware of how much the world has changed. An epic fantasy adventure set in a post-apocalyptic world, HINTERKIND is written by Ian Edginton and illustrated by Francesco Trifogli, and debuts this October.
