I cannot praise this comic book enough and I want you to buy it and support these creators, but only if you love or even only like murder mysteries and stories about benign aliens who have fallen to earth and are await rescue while having a deep impact on the people around them, a la …

Solomon Kane: Death’s Black Rider – Scott Allie
Out of all the Robert E. Howard characters, Kane is my favorite. Not that the stories with him were better than Conan or whoever, but Kane intrigued me due to his incongruity: He’s a Puritan who kicks ass. (Ok, there are probably Native Americans who don’t see any distinction between violence and Puritans but you …

Rex Mundi vol 1-6: The Guardian of the Temple, The River Underground, The Lost King, Crown and Sword, The Valley at the End of the World, & Gate of God – Arvid Nelson
Apparently this comic has been around for ten years and the first I’ve heard of it was when Cej sent me his copies to store for him (you know, for the apocalypse). I was immediately intrigued by the world wherein the protestant reformation never happened, America failed, and the inquisition and monarchies still rule Europe …

B.P.R.D.: War on Frogs – Mike Mignola & John Arcudi
The Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, a group of “special” people, seeks and destroys frog(-ish) demons. Not much else to say. Not bad, but just nothing special. Mignola is best with Hellboy and when he’s artist/writer.

Conan: The Blood-Stained Crown and Other Stories – Kurt Busiek
Various stories about the barbarian thief who would someday become a king, done to various degrees of success. The best continues to be Busiek’s stories within stories where a wazir (who is most likely Thoth-Amon) deals with a prince fascinated by the legends of Conan.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man and Others – Mike Mignola
I thought this tenth volume would continue the ninth, The Wild Hunt, but should have realized it wasn’t since they were released too close together. This collection of a few Hellboy stories are OK, especially “The Crooked Man” wherein Hellboy deals with rednecks’ legends, and “In the Chapel of Moloch” which is a welcome return …

Help Is On the Way
Scott Meyer’s collection of “How To” comics had me rolling a number of times. Y’see, Meyer “gets” one of the real strengths of the comics medium: that words and pictures can work against one another to comedic effect. While the text of these cartoons takes the serious tone of actual Help books, the images undermine …

Star Wars: Legacy (2006) #1 – A Comic Review
What happens 125 years after The Battle of Yavin? Or is it the Battle of Endor? Both of these are claimed as the starting point, yet… About 100 years after the events of the “New Jedi Order” series of novels (and only one comic series) The Empire has retaken Coruscant with the help of their …
