THIS WEEK IN COMICS!! WEEK 27

Hey what's going on everyone, This week was filled with a lot of good reading and nothing was terrible for once. So let's not dilly dally too much and get right down to it.

So this week I got around to finishing up reading the G.I.JOE omnibus. Wrapping up 200 something issues of continuity starting with the MARVEL comics run, The World War Three omnibus delivers so much awesome my head almost exploded. So as you can tell Cobra was up to some crazy jazz and started WW3. Sounds simple enough, well how about Cobra had infiltrated every government in the world and when they finally set the plan in motion, goal one is to take over the White House. Oh yeah thats only the first HALF of the massive 12 issue book. So don't hesitate too much and come get yourself a really good read and just support G.I. JOE damn it!

Next up we got GRIMM FAIRY TALES : RETURN TO WONDERLAND! Alice is all grown up, married, has 2 kids and is being haunted by the white rabbit. That's just the background story, The main story is that Alice's daughter,Carroll Ann, is pulled into Wonderland and has to deal with the sick and twisted things that now comprise Wonderland. Yes in the Grimm Fairy Tale universe, Wonderland is a bunch of rainbows and gumdrop kisses. In Grimm Fairy Tales, Wonderland is filled with psychos and sick shit. For example the Mad Hatter is an old dirty Rapist and the white rabbit is slowly rotting away. Well now that I have your attention, This week at the store(7/30/08) We are having the Writer of Return to Wonderland, RAVEN GREGORY, in for a signing. Everyone should totally stop in, read some Grimm Fairy Tales because of how awesome and twisted they are plus the writer of Grimm Fairy Tales is going to be here. So stop lolly gagging.

So shooting out from Image this week we have the MONSTER PILE-UP. For just 2 bucks, thats right 2 DOLLARS, Image is hooking everyone up with 4 short stories. Each short story is from 1 of Image's monster books. The 4 books are Proof, Perhapnauts, Astounding Wolf-Man, and Firebreather. All the stories are done by their normal creative teams and are an awesome way to check out some series you may not be reading. Each story really does get to the heart of what book is. Each story is really good and I've reviewed most of the titles contained within. The only one I haven't really read is The Perhapnauts because I wanna read from the beginning and we're getting in volume 1 this week so that will be making an appearance here next week. So anyways, Everyone should read this because it's a good intro for 4 good books and it's only 2 bucks.

And lastly this week we have the MINI MARVELS TRADE!! Yes finally the greatest goofy series of back up stories has been collected into one awesome volume. Now the Mini Marvels are the little 1 or 2 page stories at the end of most of Marvel comics. Now most of us probably see them as stories for little kids which they sorta are but only if your a little kid who reads the current Marvel stories. Everyone should totally be reading this book because it's hilarious and awesome and it is such a perfect spoof of Marvel. It's fun seeing a comic company poke fun of it's self. So yeah don't just sit there and read this, go get yourself some Mini Marvel's!

So that's it for this week, Sorry for the delay but the internet was down for a day in my house. Well anyways I got some news. I just started playing Diablo 2 again and I need some people for online games and what not. So if your in just send me a message via Myspace. My Url is Myspace.com/tpaone. so yeah Hit it up, Laters.
