Everybody's on the run.
I like this comic a hell of a lot, look forward to it every month. People keep comparing this title to Manhattan Projects, and, got to say, I'm really not sure why. It's it because the main characters are science guys? Maybe I haven't read enough Manhattan Projects, but I got bored two issues in. recommended by erin.
(W) Scott Lobdell (A) Carlos Meglia
One of the most frenetic and underrated artists in the business, Carlos Meglia passed away in 2008, but his work lives on and I was pleased to uncover an issue of Wildcats he did back in 2000. Meglia has a really great animation style that is rough around the edges and filled with an undeniable energy that drags you deep into his quirky world of angular awesomeness.
Obviously, this image isn't from the comic, but you get the idea of his art.

It's a slice of life story about a girl working at a pizza place. Her boss' business practices make it really difficult to keep the job. Can her witty humor help her survive the service industry?
After the onslaught of pop culture nerdom that was ECCC, the last thing on your mind is comics, but as we all know the best cure for a hangover is MORE alcohol, so with that in mind, Casey and Morgan bring you the best of the best this week in our special comedown edition of Zanadu hype!
While there was lots to choose from, we were blinded by the fluorescent raunchiness of SEX by Joe Casey; deafened by the rollicking rhythms of TANK GIRL by Jim Mahfood; rode the dark rails of Vasilis Lolos' LAST CALL; went all in on Jim McCann and Janet Lee's galactic gambling scheme in LOST VEGAS and fought tooth and nail with gothic vikings in HELHEIM by Cullen Bunn and Joelle Jones!
All this and a new weekly feature surprise!!
(W) Jim McCann (A) Janet Lee

Meet The Wee Wee Brothers, travel south to a Hippie Fest with all the gang, take a tour around Booga's factory, and let Tank Girl show you How To Dress Quite Good.

(W/A) Vasilis Lolos
The Ghost Train is the unearthly engine that travels between dimensions and through the void of space and time. When two normal teenagers, Alec and Sam, mysteriously end up on the train, they're thrown into a world unlike any they've ever seen and in the middle of a killing spree more chilling than anything they could have imagined! After being separated in Volume 1, the pair finally find one another, but it's not the reunion either one expects. Alec has aged ten years while Sam has only been on his own for ten hours! There's no time for the two to catch up though! There's still the issue of who is murdering the passengers and how it's connected to the boy's appearance on the train!
After 6!!! friggin years, Vasilis Lolos, one of my favorite comic creators of the past few years finally returns with his creator owned fusion of horror, mystery and comedy as two punk kids steal away from their homes one night hoping to find an adventure on par with the mind blowing metal mixtape blasting from the tape deck, but you know that old saying and things go from bad to weird to WTF in a manner of seconds!! Capturing a truly unique and indy style, Lolos infuses his books with a musical energy that few others are capable of matching, but for fans of Brandon Graham, Corey Lewis, Becky Cloonan and the serious METAL that is Chuck BB's 'Black Metal', this is a ride that is not to be missed!!! RECOMMENDED BY CASEY!!

FIRST ISSUE - COLLECTOR'S ITEM! Finally, a good reason for you come in the comicbook store -- to buy SEX! Simon Cooke has retired from his own "alternative lifestyle" and returned to the city he'd previously sworn to protect. Now he's just another average citizen -- or is he? The term "adult" has never been so appropriate as it is when it applies to SEX.
RECOMMENDED BY SAM THE VIDEO MONKEY!
(W) Cullen Bunn (A) Joelle Jones
A NEW SERIES FROM SIXTH GUN WRITER CULLEN BUNN AND FAN FAVORITE ARTIST JOËLLE JONES! "Once the threshold of Helheim is crossed, not even gods can escape." During the age of the Vikings, savage wild men and dark creatures beset a small settlement. A brave war party stands as guardians of the helpless villagers, but they are no match for the horrors rising up around them. One of the warriors, a young hero named Rikard, will pay the ultimate price in battle... but his fight is far from over. A gothic horror story of witchcraft, night creatures, and the undead.

A new edition of the classic starring the Victorian-era!
Includes GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT and MASTER OF THE FUTURE, tales that pit The Dark Knight against Jack the Ripper and a death dealer from the skies over Gotham City!
To hell with the lynching that is bound to be coming my way, I'm going to say it... I wish Mignola's art still looked like this. I appreciate the spiffy tentacles and the ambiance that he creates with his current art style. His influence is inestimable, and deservedly so, but his art used to MOVE, it used to be actual SEQUENTIAL ART, and it was just as attractive as the stuff he does now. (It might have more to do with Russell's inks on this book than the majority of us would like to admit, but...) That all being said this is probably my favorite of all the Elseworlds that I've read. I love this book. recommended by erin.

Set in Nazi Germany, this story revolves around Logan and Zannah, who are independently working to recover an ancient artifact called the Lazarus Scroll from a group of Nazis who have allied with the Daemonites. After their initial solo attempts fail, the two reluctantly team up and manage to recover the Scroll; during this fight, one of the Nazis transforms into a Daemonite and attacks Logan. Zannah kills the Daemonite, then knocks Logan unconscious and takes the Scroll. Later, the two meet again when Logan assists Zannah in securing passage on a train in Vienna. Logan persuades Zannah to trust him, and she fills him in on what the Scroll is. Their travel is interrupted by a Daemonite and Kenyan, who injures Zannah, sabotages the train tracks, and makes off with the Scroll. Surviving the train wreck, Logan and Zannah rest and recuperate, then sneak into a convoy truck, which brings them to an underground base where Kenyan uses the Scroll to resurrect Ebron, an ancient Daemonite warlord. While Logan fights Kenyan, Zannah kills Ebron, which causes a massive explosion that levels the base. Logan digs his way out of the rubble, but can find no trace of Zannah except for her broken sword. 3-D version also available!!

The true enemy has been revealed, leaving Luther and Petra to fight against foes they don't have a chance of beating. As the brawl continues, an ancient evil says hello. The hit series continues.
You would think after reaching the age of 28, I would outgrow juvenile, ultra violent comic books that at first glance have no redeeming merit.... Well, you're wrong. Dead wrong. I mean look at that cover!! So badass! So burly!! So I wish this was out when i was 15!! Strode reads like the early Spider-Man issues with all its teenage angst and crime noir influence mixed with the Flex Mentallo stuff from Doom Patrol, except injected into the eye with a giant cartoon syringe of meth and cleaning products! In the words of the king, Don't ask, just buy!! RECOMMENDED BY CASEY!!

In the grim cold of February surfaces a thrilling new League of Extraordinary Gentlemen book - Nemo: Heart of Ice, a full-color 48-page adventure in the classic pulp tradition by the inestimable Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill. It's 1925, fifteen long years since Janni Dakkar first tried to escape the legacy of her dying science-pirate father, only to accept her destiny as the new Nemo, captain of the legendary Nautilus. Now, tired of her unending spree of plunder and destruction, Janni launches a grand expedition to surpass her father's greatest failure: the exploration of Antarctica. Hot on her frozen trail are a trio of genius inventors, hired by the megalomaniacal Charles Foster Kane to retrieve the plundered valuables of an African queen. It's a deadly race to the bottom of the world - an uncharted land of wonder and horror where time is broken and the mountains bring madness.
