Comics I bought July 13, 2006
Just one of my regulars was out this week: The Walking Dead 29.
I also bought three first issues: The Escapists from Dark Horse , a dollar comic. I have been meaning to try an issue of the Escapist but they are always $5.95 per. A bit to pricey. A dollar is better.
Scarlet Traces: The Great Game 1. Also from Dark Horse it looks like some sort of WW2 sci-fi story.
And finally the first barbaric issue of Rokkin from Wildstorm. He's Rokkin dude! Rokkin! I'll let you know how they are.
Last weeks first issue of Battler Britton was good. It was a WW2 book about fighter pilots. The Yanks have just entered the war and the have to get along with the Brits and try to be an effective fighting force. At least in the first issue. According to the editorial this was a long running comic in England years ago and this is a revival. Give it a look.
The promo book Hack Slash that I bought last week made no impression on me. I don't even remember what it was about and not even a week has gone by since I read it. I can't recommend it. But it was only a quarter.

I always had an issue with the Walking Dead not being all that much fun (I want just a touch of the lighter side of zombie armageddon) but lately, it's been downright depressing to the point of becoming an endurance test. It's still a well written book and at least it's somewhat brutal but, jeez, howzabout some light comedy to brighten things a little? The psycho governor dude feeding his zombie daughter body parts was sort of funny, but not ha-ha funny...

Wow, too grusome for John. I didn't think I'd see the day. I think it is the quiting smoking that is getting to you.

I never said it was too gruesome. Just depressing. In fact, it could use some more gore. Things are just too suggested... They're trying to be all high brow and shit.
