New Comic Book Day, 1/10

New week, new comics!!
This week I actually struggled with which comics NOT to pick up. Probably going to expand my list, but so far;

NCBD 10/1

AfterShock Comics
Monstro Mechanica #2
Writer: Paul Allor
Artist: Chris Evenhuis
Ok, confession time, I haven’t got around, still need to read the first issue, but “A new series starring Leonardo da Vinci, his female apprentice, Isabel, and their wooden robot! “, well it could be interesting.

Pestilence #6
Writer: Frank Tieri
Artist: Oleg Okunev
Cover: Tim Bradstreet
The “true” story of the great pestilence. Its Zombies and Knights, oh did I mentions its zombies and Knight 🙂

Image Comics
Coyotes #3
Story: Sean Lewis
Art/ Cover: Caitlin Yarsky
Fabulous art and a interesting spin on old werewolf myth.

Port of Earth #3
Story: Zack Kaplan
Art/ Cover: Andrea Mutti
Sci-fi, aliens and a whole lot of not so nice future, what’s not to like.

Witchblade (2017)#2
Story: Caitlin Kittredge
Art/ Cover: Roberta Ingranata, Bryan Valenza
Like this new take on the Witchblade and its new host. It feels and looks a bit more “modern” (for lack of a better word) then the old series.

Marvel
Runaways (2017) #5
Writer:Rainbow Rowell
Artist: Kris Anka
The latest Runaway is a must have.

Titan Comics
Normandy Gold #5
Writer: Megan Abbott, Alison Gaylin
Artist: Steve Scott
A kick-ass Sheriff, murder and prostitution in the 1970s.

Zenescope
Van Helsing vs Robyn Hood #1
Writer: Ralph Tedesco
Artist: Allan Otero
I know, I know, but its sort of like really nice comfort food.

What comics are you picking up?

New year, New Comics

Last weekend I updated the list of what I read in 2017, and I realized that it was a year that I mostly just read comics (with a few novels stuck in-between). This wasn’t a conscious choice, but it will be this year. As always, I hope to read a bit more, but my focus in 2018 will be on comics.

New comic book day (last week) came and went, to be honest this year didn’t kickstart in a ton of comics I want to pick up.

I’ll leave you with just two issues, but they are two great ones.

NEWCOMICSDAY_1_3

Image Comics
Crosswind #6
Story: Gail Simone
Art/ Cover: Cat Staggs
““BULLETS AND BRACES” The shattering climax to this pulse-racing crime fantasy!”
I just love this story of the “body swap” of a housewife and a hitman. If you haven’t already picked up this one, then you should!

No. 1 With a Bullet #3
Story: Jacob Semahn
Art / Cover: Jorge Corona
Love, love this. It’s becoming one of my favorite. Besides the fun and humor, it’s about something that is far too common in the “real” world. Internet harassment, bullying and cyberstalking…and that altogether makes this one a must-read!!!

I know, it’s a short list, and its last week’s releases. But tomorrow is another day 😉

I like this new story arc that started with issue #15, looking forward to learn more of Clara’s darkest secrets.

Can’t decide if I like this new series or not, but water-environment-vampire-thingie…well I just can’t resist that.

Cover: Vanesa Del Rey
The south, witches, ghosts, über-cool women, violence – yes! I’m so in love with Redlands.

TBS Planet
Story: Rajeev Tamhankar
I have no idea what this is, or who the creator are, but could be interesting…

Arthur, Camelot, the Holy Grail, magic and demons…yes of course I like this series.
