DIE!DIE!DIE! issue 12
Written by Robert Kirkman and Scott M Gimple
Art by Chris Burnham
Colors by Nathan Fairbairn
If you were to take every over-the-top action movie, about fifty swords and guns, and a whole lot of cocaine and throw all of that into an industrial-sized blender, you’ll get this book.
Gideon Falls issues 24
Written by Jeff Lemire
Art by Andrea Sorrentino
Colors by Dave Stewart
Gideon Falls is easily the best horror comic on the stands right now! There are four issues left, and I can’t wait to see how the creators are going to end this mind-bending series!
Low issue 24
Written by Rick Remender
Art by Greg Tocchini
Colors by Dave McCaig
Low is another fantastic series that is coming to end soon. I’m sort of late to the party because I just started reading this book about a month ago. Regardless of that, I’m all caught up and ready for what the creative team has in store for the finale!
Marvel Comics
Conan: Battle for the Serpent Crown issue 4
Written by Saladin Ahmed
Art by Luke Ross
Colors by Nolan Woodard
As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I love the Marvel Conan stuff! Battle for the Serpent Crown has been great because it allows the savage barbarian to interact with different characters and locales of the Marvel universe. In this issue, we see Conan going to Atlantis to find more clues that’ll lead him to the Serpent Crown; however, Namor has some other plans for the savage barbarian.
Collections to watch out for
Birthright volume 9: War of the Worlds Image
I’m not crazy about the fantasy genre. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. It’s just not my cup of tea. A fantasy book has to have a really good premise in order to get me to try it, and Birthright does exactly that! Birthright follows Mikey, a boy who was sent to the magical land of Terrenos where he trained for decades to fight the God King Lore. He then returns home. The only problem is that even though he has aged decades, only a year has passed on Earth. And that’s just issue 1! Now, after forty issues, God King Lore has begun his invasion of Earth, and it’s finally time for Mikey, his family, and the military to take down Lore for good!
