THIS WEEK IN COMICS!! WEEK 17

Well hello there everybody in comic book land. It is I, The Ninja of the Comic Arts, LB Jones! This week I'm shooting from the hip and swinging from roof top to roof top. So let's not wait anymore and get right to it!
So this week we saw the release of CALIBER. Taking place during the wild west days, CALIBER is a re-telling of King Arthur in a semi updated manner. It's only semi updated because the Wild West days are in the past, so it's not a full update HAHA. Well anyway CALIBER was really really good. I totally say everyone should be reading this title. It's got a nice even pace to it and the art is absolutely gorgeous,very reminiscent of Stjepan Sejic. If you like cowboys and King Arthur, you too should be reading this book!
Shooting over from Marvel this month we have DareDevil:Blood of the Tarantula. This one shot focuses on the character Black Tarantula. Now last time we saw Black Tarantula was a few months ago in DareDevil, were he had just gotten released from prison and was trying to go at being a vigilante like DD. So it's been a few months later and BL is still at it. In this months issue we see Black Tarantula's past catch up with him in a big way. Now I gotta stop talking about this book before I give anymore away.
Re-entering Earth's atmosphere, we have the TALES of the FEAR AGENT graphic novel. Now if you've never read FEAR AGENT. Go read my previous reviews and continue reading this one. So anywho, within this fine graphic novel is all the extra little one shot stories that were in the back of the Image comics issues of Fear Agent. So if your want a good jump on point or just a really good series of little quick funny stories. This is definitely your book. It's perfect for those long bus rides and trust me I know long bus rides.
And lastly but definitely not least we have MILK & CHEESE. Now for anyone that was here for Free Comic Day on Saturday, we had the creator Evan Dorkin here for a signing. Milk and Cheese is quite literally the funniest comic I have ever read.EVER!! It is just filled with awesome jokes and art and it is totally worth the $3.00 that is printed on it. Now stop lolly gagging and come get it!! Photobucket
