Persepolis

A thoroughly intriguing and captivating tale about the real-life story of a young girl named Marjane Satrapi growing up in a war-torn Iran, her teenage years in France and her return as a young woman to her repressed homelands.

Sweet Tooth, Vol.1-6

After hearing how much I loved his earlier recommendation for Manifest Destiny, my friend Gerg suggested I might like Sweet Tooth, the story of a young boy born with deer antlers on the verge of Apocalypse. It was an okay series, good to spend a week reading.

The Humans, Vol.2: Humans Till Deth

 

As a guy who loves the whole 60's Culture, the VERY adult comic series THE HUMANS continues their Monkey-eyed take on hippies, motorcycle gangs. the Vietnam war  and Alcohol, Sex and Drugs with so much excitement and energy it's like watching a movie! Really great series...and is it just me or is main character Johnny a dead-ringer for Neil Young???

The Fuse, Vol.3: Perihelion

Continuing on with Anthony Johnson and Justin Greenwoood's wonderful space saga THE FUSE with their third book following the exploits of Space Station Detectives Rystovich and Dietrich.
They seem to be softening up Klem Rystovich in this one, portraying her a bit more womanly and even hinting at a former romantic backstory. An excellent ongoing series.

Afterlife With Archie

Re-read this one again to see if I liked it any better than I did the first time around, but it looks like I'm the only one who hasn't warmed up to this revamp as everyone else seems to be praising it to the high heavens, LOL.

Beasts of Burden: What The Cat Dragged In

Just finished re-reading the awesome "Beasts of Burden by Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson and my friend informed me that a new Beats of Burden special had just come out! What timing!

MPH

Re-read this one again just for the fun of it! A great One-Shot Graphic Novel!

4 Kids Walk Into A Bank

Along with the awesome Manifest Destiny book, Gerg also gave me the first in a 5-part series called "4 Kids Walk Into A Bank" that he really loved. Can't say I cared for this as much as he did, but then again he was always a bigger fan of the "witty youngsters" kind of stories than I...

Manifest Destiny, Vol.1-3

When my friend Gerg comes to visit, he always brings a bunch of new titles he thinks I'd like, and among the comics he brought on his latest visit, was an insanely creative graphic novel about an alternate history Lewis & Clark trudging through and mapping out the great untamed wilderness of unexplored America... and battling the Mystical Creatures, Otherworldly Aliens and Abominable Animal Aberrations they come across!!!
WOW, just like ATOMIC ROBO, with its evil mastermind Thomas Edison and Cool Agent Carl Sagan, this "History that never was" features ‎Meriwether Lewis and ‎William Clark as the coolest Gun-totingest agents ever, and ‎Sacagawea as a kick-butt super-warrior ready to take on and disable any new menace they come across!
I IMMEDIATELY fell in love with this one and RAN to the comic store to grab the other two Trade Paperbacks so I could catch up on 'em all! Manifest Destiny has become a HUGE fave of mine!
