THIS WEEK IN COMICS!! WEEK 11

Hey there everybody out in comic book lands! It's L.B. once again here to bring you the latest awesome from the world of comics. But first I would like to thank everyone for turning out on Wednesday's and for being super supportive. I just wanna let everyone know that if we've sold out of something recently it's due to us not being able to keep up with how fast we've grown, it's like wild fire! Well that's enough of that and now onto the review!

First coming from IMAGE we have Dead Space. This book is based off the upcoming video game of the same title. When I first read this I had no idea that it was based on a video game so I did not go into reading this with an preconceived notions about this book. The basic story is that a space science colony is doing some type of mining and come across this huge column. Now no one knows what the hell the column is. Some think it's a alien artifact while others say it's an ancient religious artifact. It's pretty straight forward in it's approach and that's what sets this book apart from other space type books because it's not trying to build a big grandiose story. It's simple straight forward space alien type stuff which is Awesome!! Totally check this book out!
Coming from DC this week, we have the NEW FRONTIER SPECIAL. Now what's cool about the special is that Darwyn Cook returns for the writing duties and most of the art. The really cool part is that it's all original stories. Nothing in this book is a reprint, it's all new and fresh ideas of pure AWESOME. Yes I say awesome a lot but this is AWESOME!! GO READ THIS NOW!!
Straight from the future we have CABLE. Oh yeah Cable is back and better than ever. With Messiah Complex over and back in his own title, Cable will reign supreme. So the whole first issue we see Cable trying to survive and fight to protect the baby in the future. It's pretty action packed and the ending throws a nice curve ball at ya. Totally worth picking up and taking home. We have more on reorder just so everyone knows!
And exploding from Dynamite this week we have THE BOYS! Now for the past 4 issues I've been sorta bummed out by The Boys. I felt the story was kinda weak and lack luster well with last month's issue and the new issue this week my faith has been restored in The Boys. The Seven have returned, Hughie is going on dates and Butcher is still an asshole. Everything that made me love this book in the beginning is back and better than before. Totally worth checking out and to continue buying. NOW GO READ IT!!!
