| Seeing as there's so much love for "The Boys" has anyone here read the Ghost Rider minis by Ennis? I really liked "The Road to Damnation" but the new one "Trail of Tears" is already much better. |

Anything Ennis touches is gold.

Anyone pick up "Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness"? This book is simply awesome. I have loved the Marvel Zombies since they started in "Ultimate Fantastic 4" (which incidentally also got me into that book) and this really is a great continuation of the story. Or beginning as it were. I feel like it is hitting all of the right notes and getting back to that feeling of helplessness from "UFF" while still keeping in the comedy of books like "Army of Darkness" and "Marvel Zombies."
I also got "Fall of Cthulhu" #0 which is pretty entertaining even if it is playing around with the mythos a bit (Abdul Alhazred was torn apart by an invisible demon in front of a crowd of people as I recall, not abducted by a cult). It looks like if nothing else it will be an interesting read and I did like Boom!'s "Cthulhu Tales." |

Richard Sala's "The Grave Robber's Daughter" is excellent

I did enjoy the first Cthulhu Tales book, never got around to picking up the second though. I had heard some mixed things about it not to long ago, I still hope to pick it up at some point down the line. Who's writing the Fall of Cthulhu series? I flipped through the book in the store but couldn't find a credits page or anything.

I cannot find credit for #0, but the previews page says 1 and 2 are written by Steven Grant. |

Picked up the final volume of Mail this week. Really loved the series. It's a three volume manga focusing on a detective who can see ghosts and the various jobs he undertakes involving them. Usually he exorcises them with his holy gun, which sounds a lot dirtier than it is, but there are some other twists and turns throughout.
But yeah.. it's basically three volumes of unconnected ghost stories with some gorgeous art from Housui Yamazaki, who also happens to the be the artist of Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service.
Annnnd... in case anyone's interested or they forgot.. Saturday (May 5th) is Free Comic Book Day, so check out your LCS to see what free swag you can snag. Lot's of stores are also running other events, like signings and sales as well.

Has anyone checked out Marval's INITIATIVE yet?
Civil War was such a disappoint to me that I have yet to work up the courage to pick up this new series.

28 Days Later's graphic novel is freaking awesome. It's got stories of the first 27 Days and then after the first movie's storyline.
A quick, cool, read.

Initiative is a hic-up on the road to World War Hulk. Which just started. |

Any interest in the new Fangoria line of Comics? I've been strictly reading superhero comics for the past few years and want to give Horror comics a try again (outside of Walking Dead. I've discovered that one already.)

I've been keeping some tabs on it, I'm kind of interested in the Strangeland series at the moment. Haven't heard much about any other series outside out Bump though.

Hey, it's not horror, but comic lovers should check this out. I've got one in a contest at the banner below. Let me know what you think. And vote if you like it.
Oh...and all Ken's must vote for it. It's a rule. Heh.

FANGORIA comics.
I'm interested in any of them NOT written by Ray Garton.
'Nuff said.
Anybody read the Vertigo series LOVELESS? Good stuff Maynard!
