Episode 168 - Graphic Novelties: Children of the Woods

5/3/2022

0 Comments

Are you Team Woods or Team Witch? 

There is something very *novel* about a book that subverts horror tropes and expectations to make something new and different. And yes, that was a pun, and no, I don't feel bad about it.

Bad dreams make for good comics... 

Weekly Pull Highlights: April 13, 2022
  • Breakout #1
  • Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country #1 

Tee may have no voice left, but the comic show must go on! Cover books from last week that we weren't able to share thanks to technical difficulties, this scary/scifi fare was not something to be missed. ​

Dark Horse is making money (making) moves! 

Weekly Pull Highlights: March 23, 2022
  • We Have Demons #1
  • Ghost Cage #1

​Whether it's building an entirely new mythos or developing a very different subgenre of manga, we're always impressed when boundries are pushed in comics. Also, where the heck did March go?!

Episode 154 - Short Stories, Mignola's Prolificness, Not Everything Sucks

Short, sweet, and to the point. 

Weekly Pull Highlights: March 2, 2022
  • Radio Spaceman #1
  • Everything Sucks

​There's something special in a story that knows it needs to end, and does so when it's supposed to, and doesn't drag out forever, and ever, and ever... Man, it's harder than it looks.

Episode 143 - Graphic Novelties: Mafiosa

There's a lot of frustration in being a woman... 

​It's rare to get the female perspective from a 1920's-based noir story, but this one gets right down in the thick of all the deep troubles you'd expect to be associated with being a woman in a gangster crime syndicate. It's pretty heavy, but pretty important, too.

​​What you may have missed in December!

Santa has come and gone, and the workout equipment has been pulled out from the basement (for at least a month or two). Cover up that treadmill with some shortboxes filled with our honorable mentions from last month!

Honorable Mention Highlights: December 2021
  • Refuse x Last Resort Double Shot (W: Matt Kindt/A: Marguerite Sauvage; W: Mark Russell/A: Adam Pollina)
  • Gotham City Villains Anniversary Giant (W: Variety; A: Variety)
  • Buckhead #1 (w: Shobo, a: George Kambadais)
  • One-Star Squadron #1 (w: Mark Russell, a: Steve Lieber)
  • Lunar Room #1 (w: Danny Lore, a: Gio Sposito)
  • No Holds Bard #1 (w: Eric Gladstone, a: Gabrielle M. Kari)

  • Apache Delivery Service #1 (w: Matt Kindt, a: Tyler Jenkins)
  • A King's Vengeance #1 (w: Peter Ricq & Davila LeBlanc, a: Peter Ricq)

Refuse x Last Resort Double Shot
One side is a beautiful, near-wordless journey of a woman utterly isolated and striving to get back to her world. The other side is a tongue-in-cheek exploration of how ridiculously exploitative capitalism is, and the complications of being surrounded by, well, yourself. It's a huge book being a double-shot and all, but definitely worth a pick-up.

Gotham City Villains Anniversary Giant
I don't have to say a whole lot about this book. You know why? Because the first story is by Danny DeVito, detailing how The Penguin and Catwoman fell in love, cured COVID-19, and saved the world. See, that's enough.

Buckhead #1
This book is zany, and fast, and honestly a little disorienting (but in a good way?). While many books struggle to gain speed in the first issue, this one feels almost like they put too much into the opening chapter, but with tech meeting ancient civilizations meeting an entertainingly diverse cast, I think I'm into it.

One-Star Squadron #1
If you aren't Batman or Tony Stark or Oliver Queen, it's unlikely your superhero-ing can serve as a moneymaking endeavor. That is, unless you team up with an agency that helps you live a secure life with a plan (and maybe a pension). I always appreciate a story talking about the mundane surrounded by the fantastic. And what's more mundane than paying taxes?

Lunar Room #1
I think this has a lot of potential to be a cool magical Neo-Noir story, but the first issue didnt entirely hook me. I like the world and the mystery thats building, but the characters were a smidge on the cliche side. Still, werewolves and magic in a gritty city underbelly, could appeal to the World of Darkness crowd and those adjacent.

No Holds Bard #1
SHAKESPEARE AS BATMAN. I love the concept of this, but the delivery is a bit ho hum. It is too aware of the joke instead of just letting the concept be funny on its own. Still, i had fun on the ride, even if there was an occasional eye roll in the mix.
​
Ms. Marvel: Beyond the Limit #1
I didn't know I needed Ms. Marvel to have her own Spider-esque web of multiverses - but now I do! Giving her a new story to help those unfamiliar get acquainted before her new show hits, I'm excited to see a very multi-faceted tale all about Kamala(s).

Apache Delivery Service #1
This book has a lot going for it - minimalist storytelling, an emotional time period and setting, a diverse cast with a broad experience, and evocative imagery. It's not a "nice" book, but it has potential to be an impactful one.

A King's Vengeance #1
​Tonally dark, ultra-violent Adventure Time. This book lays out a fairly basic concept and then delivers with some dope art and cool character design. Nifty book all around.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

Weekly Pull Highlights: December 15, 2021
  • Odin's Eye #1
  • Cloaked #1
  • Third Wave '99 #1

What's real and what's a fabrication? That's exactly what we're piecing through this week - whether it's the grey area between dream and reality, rumors and the truth, or the fiction of a book and the real-life happenings of our world.

Jumping from the top rope is ATHLETICS, friends. 

Weekly Pull Highlights: December 8, 2021
  • Daisy #1
  • Crimson Cage #1

​There's nothing better than a modernized retelling of a classic, and this week, we (kinda) have two! From a professional wrestler dealing with his own Lady Macbeth, to what really happened to fallen angels, these books give us something to chew on.

Kids... In... SPAAAAACE...

Weekly Pull Highlights: September 8, 2021
  • Deadbox #1
  • Mazebook #1
  • Bountiful Garden #1

​We've got a big theme of space in this episode, from the movie-in-a-comic in Deadbox, to the Space Case-meets-Alien vibe in Bountiful Garden, to the endless void built from grief in Mazebook. It's a lot, but it's really good, promise.

  • Killer Queens #1
  • Eat the Rich #1
  • God of Tremors One Shot

​Did you miss us? We're finally back from summer break with three awesome indie books that bring the retro-chic, the wealthy elite, and the Victorian bleak. It's good to be back, baby!
