THIS WEEK IN COMICS!! WEEK 15

Hey what's going on out there in Comic Book Land. It tis I, LB Jones, once again. Last week was really hectic with the sale on Friday and than with everyone coming by that weekend. So this week we have some pretty amazing things going on in the comic world.
Rocketing in from IMAGE we have SCUD the Disposable Assassin. Now the thing with SCUD is that the book was started over 10 years ago but wound up stopping for some reason and went unfinished till now. With one issue left for the series, SCUD scores the spotlight. So SCUD is all about a disposable assassin that you buy from a vending machine. The thing with this particular assassin is that he found out about how that when his mission is complete, he blows up. Well that's what the story was 10 yrs ago. Now SCUD is back from the dead and has to save the world for the woman he loves. And did I mention that this book is hilarious. Now come get this book!!
Emerging from a drunken stupor at Marvel is the INCREDIBLE HERCULES. Now since WWH, this book has been absolutely amazing. Hercules is hysterical as well as action packed. I mean Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente are perfect together. The little nods to other books for continuity is perfect and the art is awesome and just come read the damn thing! IT'S PURE GOLD !!
Also from Marvel we have IRON MAN:LEGACY OF DOOM. This the 3rd and final chapter of the Camelot series started way back in the 80's. David Michelinie writes one mean Iron Man Story and for a story that started over 20 yrs ago It was easy to follow. It pretty much goes that one day Tony Stark is destroying old armor and comes across a memory stick in one with a mission that Stark doesn't remember. From there the story rolls out pretty quickly and hits pretty quickly. Some of the dialog between Doom and Stark is hilarious and Stark speaks in such a manner that you can totally feel how he feels about Doom. So come on in and read some Legacy Of Doom, or so commands DOOM!
Coming from Alterna Comics, we have JESUS HATES ZOMBIES!! This book is absolutely amazing and everyone should read it. It's all little 5 page stories about Jesus fighting off zombies. That's all that really needs to be said but I will continue. We here at CBJ actually had the Writer and one of the artists in for a signing. The writer, Stephen Lindsay, is one of the coolest guys and was all about talking with everyone. He wrote all but I think 3 stories in the book and they all had me rolling while reading this particular comic book narrative. The artist who was here as well is Lauren Monardo. She is such an awesome artist and did an amazing Zombie Joker sketch for Gore. If you haven't read this book yet, come in and get to it.....NOW!!
