Greg Sez #11 – Comics You Should Be Reading This Week

FEATURED, READ on September 22 Welcome to Greg Sez #11, the first on the new schedule for my column. Doing this every two weeks instead of every week allows me to focus a little harder on some indie, out of the way titles, and provide even more coverage of new comics. Let us know if you like it better every week or every two.  

Work Break Time: Afternoon Delight

READ on September 21 Venture Brothers is quite possibly one of my favorite shows ever. Here is one of my favorite clips for you to enjoy. If you like this, you’ll love the show, and if you love the show already? Enjoy. So put on your headphones and lean back in your uncomfortable chair, cause its time for your Afternoon Delight. Sorry for the Ad at the start,... 

Bulletproof Coffin #4

READ on September 17 Bulletproof Coffin #4 is out! The story is by David Hine and Shaky Kane the art is by Shaky Kane. First off one of the highest praises I can give this book is that I can’t even begin to guess where it is going, but it always seems to be worth the ride. Steve wakes up the next morning believing that everything that happened in the previous issue... 

Boom! Kids Comics Review, By Lincoln

READ on September 16 Lincoln is three, and not afraid to tell you what he thinks. When he’s not crashing matchbox cars, sailing pirate ships, drawing on the wall in the closet, or telling you he is Superman. He sometimes will sit still enough to read a book. What he knows about comic books, is that they are easy to tear up. Thankfully, when Boom Studios sent me these... 

The Umbrella Academy #1

READ on September 16 Continuing in its “one for one” program Dark Horse brings us the first issue of Umbrella Academy. This is the first issue of a six issue arc called Apocalypse Suite. This book is written by Gerard Way, with artwork by Gabriel Bá. Umbrella Academy is the story of seven children who were born under unusual circumstances and each of them has extra-ordinary... 

RLR #55 – Curious Foods

FEATURED, PLAY on September 15 Hey everyone, guess what? It is Wednesday, yet all of you get a new episode of the Red-Light Roundtable! You see, I have to go out of town when the show normally records so I got the panel together early last night and we pounded out a brand new megasode of RLR.  

GSP: Episode XIV, “Suit of Rancid Green Bacon”

FEATURED, PLAY on September 13 Hey listeners, we’ve got a new Giant-Size Podcast (that was found in the couch cushions over at Greg’s Black Cat Comics store)! This episode features the GSP crew at their full capacity plus one when they invite special guest Brandon Dayton from EA and Green Monk.  

Greg Sez #10 – Comics You Should Be Reading This Week

FEATURED, READ on September 13 Welcome to Greg Sez #10, where I let you all know what cool stuff is hitting the shelves this week, this time with 20% more French! Due to Labor Day, the shipment is delayed until Thursday the 9th, so don’t get too excited and break down the doors a day early, now, kids.  

Super – Clip

WATCH on September 13 Take equal parts Ellen Page and mix in some Rainn Wilson, add the director from James Gunn (Slither), and throw a couple dashes of Kevin Bacon, Liv Tyler, and Nathan Fillion…what do you get? You’d probably have a whole room of smoke, but after it cleared, you’d notice that lying there on the ground would be Super, which looks like... 

Mark Millar on Kick-Ass 2

WATCH on September 13 I love hearning about movies that are in pre-production, not only because you get to hear what the creators hope to create with their product, but you also get some of the most awesome grandstanding that the people attached can summon.  

Captain America On-Location Photos Hit the Web

WATCH on September 10 From what we can see, Marvel Studios were out this week on-location somewhere in England filming a series of stunt shots for their upcoming film Captain America: The First Avenger. You’ll want to see this as well and draw your own conclusions, as I am about to.  

Buffy the Vampire Slayer One for One

READ on September 10 I have been loving the Dark Horse one for ones! This week brings us the inaugural issue of the very first Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic. Buffy was written by Andi Watson and drawn by Joe Bennett. I personally am a huge Buffy fan, but somehow this issue slipped through the cracks. This was the first time reading this one for me. This issue takes place... 

Billy the Kid’s Old Timey Oddities #1

READ on September 10 Billy the Kid is back! “Billy” first appeared in 2005 for a four-issue story arc written by Eric Powell and art by Kyle Hotz and published by Dark Horse. Powell and Hotz have joined forces once again to bring us “Billy the Kid’s Old Time Oddities and the Ghastly Fiend of London.”, a new four-issue arc. In the previous series, after faking... 

The Calling: Cthulhu Chronicles #3

READ on September 8 Is it me or are my comics letting me down a lot these days? Here in The Calling:  Cthulhu Chronicles #3 I feel that the slow push of the first two issues was thrown out the window in favor of a rush job.  Is the next issue actually the last?  

Dark Horse #1 for $1 Continues with Groo and Star Wars Legacy

READ on September 4 Dark Horse Comics continues it $1 reprint deals in hoping to get you hooked on some of its better comics.  The comics of September 1st are Sergio Aragones’ Groo and Star Wars Legacy.  

Hellboy: The Storm #3

READ on September 4 And with this, the third issue, Hellboy:  The Storm is over. After the six issues of Darkness Calls and the eight issues of Wild Hunt, the three issues of The Storm seems rather small.  Upon reading the stories, the name reminds me of the phrase “The calm before the storm.”  After all, it appears the storm is coming, and Hellboy will... 

Cold Space #4

READ on September 4 If you like Samuel L. Jackson, you might like this comic book;  after all, he is credited as one of the creators and is the “main character” in it.  Unfortunately, here in issue #4 of Cold Space, this star vehicle comes to a not-so-surprising end.  That end is not the only thing unfortunate about it either.  

Incorruptible #9

READ on September 4 Something is coming down the turnpike in Incorruptible #9. Literally. The only problem is Max Damage and Jailbait are in Star City tracking down the one who leaked Max Damage’s secret invulnerability to his enemies:  one of the Plutonian’s ex-girlfriends. This does not lead to the big clash between the Plutonian and Max that I have been... 

Stan Lee’s Second New Series: THE TRAVELER!

READ on September 2 Boom! Publishing has just given us word about the second of three new ongoing Series that have been dreamed up by Stan Lee. Soldier Zero is looking pretty damn cool, and we can’t wait to get more information on The Traveler, so keep your eyes open cause once we do, it’s going to be here on WPR. So, who are the others behind this comic?... 

Baltimore: The Plague Ships #2

READ on September 1 In the first issue Lord Baltimore rolls into town and begins cleaning up the place almost like Clint Eastwood in a “Man with no Name” movie. We know very little about him and why he hunts vampires. Issue two picks up right where issue one leaves off, he is released from prison and is aboard a boat following his vampire foe. Once he is aboard he...
