THIS WEEK IN COMICS!! WEEK 12

Hey so how's everyone doing out there in comic book land? It is I, LB JONES, once again with the new TWIC and I bet you can't wait for it! A whole bunch has been happening in comics lately and I'm gunna tell you all about it!
Coming from left field and NOT from the major companies, We have "It Sure is a Super World!" This book totally caught me by surprise. It's really funny and actually shows how dumb super heroes can be. The first of the three short stories in it focuses on a superman-type character who when trouble appears everyone in the area looks at him and asks if he's gunna help. It really is a good spoof on the whole super hero genre and it's definitely worth a check. So come read it already.
Also from the Independent scene we have "THE WANNABES." This book is really good but sadly ended after 3 issues because the writer just stopped writing. Well anyways, again it's a different take on superheroes. We see the major superheroes leave Earth on a galactic mission and leave the world in the hands of their sidekicks. The fun part about this book is that the villains aren't real. I'm gunna stop there cause it ruins the kick of the story and I can't do that to ya. So come check it out and hey the artist John Ruiz actually lives in the area and stops in all the time.
Returning from the bowels of the 90's we have the LOBO graphic novel "Portrait of a Bastich." Yes I said it, Lobo has a new graphic novel. It collects the original 2 mini-series and well that's pretty much it. I mean it's Lobo what can you say about Lobo other than "He's Lobo" It's like asking what makes Batman so cool. Well there is no answer it's HE'S BATMAN. Same goes for Lobo. So if your looking for a nice hardy read and a good time, I highly recommend this book.
And finally coming from Image we have BATTLE POPE. Yeah that's right, He's BATTLE POPE! Quite honestly one of the funniest books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. It's a pretty basic concept. God begins the ascension, Hell comes to Earth and winds up existing with humanity. God feels that people have lost their way so he takes the pope (who by the by is a chain smoking, womanizing, drunk) and makes him BATTLE POPE! The title alone makes you giggle ADMIT IT! And did I mention that a hippie Jesus is the pope's sidekick? Oh yeah that hits the spot don't it?
Well this concludes the TWELFTH WEEK of THIS WEEK IN COMICS!! So see everyone on Wednesday and back here next week!
