Has anyone else read Flavor #1 from Image. I picked it up from my LCS because it had a cool dog on the cover and I'm really glad I did. It's a Ghibli style works where you need a licence to be a chef, and a girl who dropped out of chef school acts as an unlicensed chef to support her family.

Also the dog is really cool.

Seriously, look at this dog.

Picked up Supernaut because it's a 5 issue series and was on sale. Pretty trippy, riddled with typos, and the end didnt quite hold up but it's still a fun ride.

Oh yeah, and it's a bunch of interuniversal thieves on a quest to steal a bunch of powerful artifacts to assassinate God before he calls time out on the universe.

Just picked up the first omnibus of Hellboy - Seed of Destruction, I'm excited to dive into that universe.

Speaking of Hellboy, colorist Dave Stewart is coloring for a new #1 out this week called The Weatherman. I had no idea what the hell it was, just flipped through it and it ended up being pretty good. Art is stellar. Writing so far seems solid. I'm definitely picking up #2 and probably adding it to my holds list.

Coda 2 is out and it continues to be pretty dang good. The censorship of the swearing in it seems off to me with how graphically violent it is but that's my only nitpick. It pokes fun at video game / D&D fantasy tropes pretty well and so far is building an interesting apocalyptic alt-fantasy world.

I enjoy it a great deal but stopped reading near the end of Hell on Earth and am waiting on hardcovers. That said, I didn't care for a specific artist that came on during HoE and I'm living in ignorance if he's still on the book now.

The second issue of A Walk Through Hell is very good. This is Ennis with a straight face, keeping away from the gross-out humour, just telling an upsetting supernatural horror story. I'm excited to see where this goes.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

Yeah that horror anthology is the most interesting. But none of the art (so far) is particularly good and while the writers are interesting, they aren’t must reads.

this is something i've noticed in a number of comics and i've never really understood it. it seems like the gore line is way, way, way more "acceptable" for people to cross than saying gently caress-words in comics.

i just finished it and yeah it managed to get weird and keep up the suspense from issue 1. I am slightly worried that since he's introduced some political commentary that it might start being ennis-y but hopefully it won't

anyway: Invincible!

Most comic-readers and TV-watchers know Robert Kirkman as the creator of The Walking Dead, but he has actually done things in his life other than that. One such thing is Invincible, a critically acclaimed superhero comic made by Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley that just ended its 15-year run back in February. That’s not the end of the Invincible saga, though, as Amazon has just given a straight-to-series order to an animated adaptation of the comic. That comes from Variety, which says the Invincible show has only been given eight episodes for now, but seems safe to assume that the episode count could expand if it turns out to be a hit. After all, there are 15 years of stories that can be told, and they’re probably not going to burn through very much in only eight episodes.
