: Comic Filing
So it’s been quite a while since I filed, but here’s some of the new stuff that I’m placing with great care into the long box.
Arrowsmith: I do enjoy Kurt Busiek’s writing a great deal. He just seems to get it so the story trips off the page. And the art was just lovely! And I can’t resist a good alternative history kick, especially not when you throw in some dragons. Going to be continuing this one.
Bad Girls: It’s tripe, it’s cheesy and I love it already. More more!
Empire: Kitson is coming to do a signing. That and Mark Waid wrote it. Worth a look, based around the idea that the bad guy won.
Fallen Angel: Peter David is another underrated writer in my books. I like him for all that he doesn’t have the hip factor that the Big British Three have. He’s fun and this is intriguing and religious enough for it to check another box in my list of obsessions.
Possessed: So it’s a rerun of the Exorcist. Georgetown, creepy pus and then, the shot widens to show who’s really going to kick that demon butt. High octane, Alien-esque feel. Johns writing, Sharpe doing something that isn’t 2000AD or Warhammer. Looking good.
Losers: Another British pair that have crossed the pond. Taking the A-team as some kind of template, this promises to be just crazy. Something of the 100 Bullets feel to it, but the fact that you can tell all the main characters apart is a big plus. Jock is some crossover between the best of Sean Phillips, the clarity of Darick Robertson and the earthiness of Eduardo Risso. And he’s and ace bloke. Go Jock!
Supreme Power: JMS has built a name for himself with clever, erudite comic writing. Still, this is the first comic I’ve read of his, and it’s another take on the Superman mythos (yawn!). Giving it a try – it is lavishly produced and I’ll see if he can produce the goods. Maybe next issue…
Trouble: Despite the rather hype about this, I thought I’d give it a miss, as I’m not a Spiderman kinda gal. Bought it, liked it, didn’t get all the jokes. Millar is still a superior writer, and I like romance comics anyway.
Mystique, Runaways & Emma Frost: I was suspicious of the whole Tsunami thing – I’m a big supporter of manga et al., but these three titles are fun, enjoyable and a nice switch off for the brain. I have decided that Emma Frost is my new heroine. Bitchy, cold and cruel – the way I ought to be. Or something.
