My time of the month...

Hey guys...

No I haven't recently acquired a menstrual cycle, but it got your attention, didn't it?!

The time of the month that I was referring to was the time when the comics come out that I've really been enjoying lately... I'm now going to offer up the titles and a couple of quick synopses on each... (Is synopses a word?)

Wolverine

The title Wolverine has been running a story arc called Old Man Logan as of late. It's a story that takes place fifty years in the future and Wolverine (though he insists on NOT being called that) hasn't popped his claws or done battle in that missing span of time. The villains have taken over. Nothing is as it was. THE STORY IS AWESOME!!!

This great story by Mark Millar (Wanted, The Authority, etc.) with art by Steve McNiven (Civil War) and Morry Hollowell is definitely one worth checking out...

Hulk

So there's a red Hulk now?

Yeah, there is... And he's killing and beating the crap out of a lot of people... Even the real green Hulk... Perplexing...

The Sword

This series about a young parapalegic girl who finds a mystical sword and vows to exact revenge on the god-like beings who killed her family just isn't letting up... I've raved to a lot of people about this one...

This one is true excellence by the Luna Brothers (Ultra, Girls)... Check it out...

The Walking Dead

Someone summed it up recently in a letters column somewhere or something by saying that waiting for another issue of The Walking Dead was like waiting for another episode of LOST... I couldn't agree more...

Again, this is a series that, after 51 issues, just hasn't let up... A true "zombie movie that never ends", yet so much more than that... A masterpiece written by Robert Kirkman (Invincible, Brit, Marvel Zombies, etc.)...



Until next time...
