THIS WEEK IN COMICS!! Week 4

Hi there everyone, LB here with the latest is comics. I know I'm late yet again but I actually have an annoucement about TWIC, Seeing as Wednesday's tend to be hecktic and I'm off on Thursday's, TWIC new day for being posted is FRIDAY.
So without further delay let's start the awesome!

Comic from Dark Horse this week we have the GOON! Now this actually came out last week but due to us opening midway through December we got it late. Well anyways, Eric Powell keeps the funny coming in this one. The first appearance of Frankie is him yelling at some lady about mutant cat babies. The story is as solid as ever as Powell takes the book and throws in some continuity and refers to an older story. Also THE GOON is now monthly so we don't have to wait for our jones to be satisfied as long.
Also coming from Dark Horse is Umbrella Academy. It's the fifth issue and I was finally able to read the entire series to date. Now being that I truly dislike My Chemical Romance, I was hesitant to pick this up and read it. Surprisingly though I enjoyed this book a lot. It picks up with a past villain of the Academy having robots come to life and fight the Academy. We also see .07 show up and with some Zaz might I say. Do yourself a favor and check this book out even if you dislike MCR.
Coming from Image this week we have Steve Niles' Presents Strange Cases.
Since ish 1 this book has been good. A really good mixture of Horror, Comedy and Myth. In this ish the main monster is a wendigo, so that means there was some cannibalism going down. As usual the art was perfect and dead on and Dan Wickline is doing a great job in the writing department
And lastly we have Avengers : Classic. This is simply reprints of the original issues of the avengers, but that is what makes this book amazing. One of Marvel's finest teams deserves to being reprinted and in this issue it's the first appearance of KANG THE CONQUERER in an avengers book. So go get this and brush up on ya damn history!
