My New Comics


This week’s best cover is Alter Ego #72. It honors the first appearance of the JLA in The Brave and the Bold #28.

Fall of Cthulhu #6, Boom Studios. New Storyline, New Horrors.

Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters #1, DC Comics. I’m giving this a look-see, as I’m an old fan of Sam.

Marvel Zombies: The Book of Angels, Demons, & Various Monstrosities #2, Marvel Comics. It’s an evil handbook to the Marvel Universe that includes the Zombies.

Terminator 2: Infinity #3, Dynamite Entertainment.

Army of Darkness: From the Ashes #3, Dynamite Entertainment.

Magazine:
Alter Ego #72, Twomorrows Publishing. I’ve been waiting for this retrospective on Captain Carrot!

Game Book:
Conan: The Roleplaying Game 2nd Edition Mongoose Publishing. This core rulebook is published in black and white not color like the previous addition but it’s thicker. Content over esthetic I guess.

I was never into the Golden Age DC back in the day, so when I saw this cover a few years ago I asked, "Why does that giant starfish have Captain America's shield in the middle of it?".

arkonbey - to be a total geek here that cover is actually part of the birth of the Siver Age. I geekey huh... but that's why they decided to use it. That said DC always had more corny villians...

LB - yeah I like it!

panda - It's funny because fishy things seem horrbie in the west while in Japan they're food...

dean - I'm lovin' it and not in a Micky Ds kinda way myself.

I always get Silver/Golden ages confused whether it's comics or Sci-fi (was Heinlein silver or golden. What was Verne? Bronze?).

I'll just call 'em both 'olden days'.

They're all old that's for sure
