It’s that time of the month again?! assumption so; right here we go!

Last Kiss Sticky note Book

Last Kiss Sticky note Book

(Not-so-random trivia: I was nearly the admin for John Lustig’s web site when upon a time. He was most likely much better off without me, in all honesty.) I’ve been a fan of Lustig’s re-captioned romance comics for about ten years now, as well as they’ve always entertained me. In addition to this sticky note book, be sure to inspect out the metal situation (handy for cash, receipts, as well as perhaps even cigarettes) as well as coffee mug used this month, as well. For a few of his work (along with a lot of other fantastic names) on rewritten marvel romance comics, take a look at the marvel romance Redux: one more type of like soft cover.

Batman: Europa

Batman: Europa #1

Painted Jim Lee artwork? You’d most likely have to kill me to keep me from getting this book. And, in full disclosure, I wouldn’t make it extremely easy. I’d most likely maim you in the process. As an added bonus, I’m looking ahead to see Lee work over somebody else’s designs for the very first time in ages (that I understand of).

Superman/Batman: Torment

Superman/Batman: Torment softcover

Finally in soft cover! If that’s exactly how you roll, that is. Me, I’m all about the difficult cover.  Why? one of my preferred artists ever (Dustin Nguyen, which you knew) drew this arc, rather potentially my preferred of the series’ entire run. Plus, that Alan Burnett person understands his method around these characters, having serviced lots of of their animated adventures over the past “few” years.

Ame-Comi PVC Figure: Catwoman V. 2

Ame-Comi Heroine Series: Catwoman V.2 Blue fit Variant PVC figure

I’m not going to lie; I believe this blue fit variant is head-and-shoulders above the already awesome looking routine V.2 release.

Angelus Vol. 1

Angelus volume 1 illumination trade paperback

(I’m just guessing on that “Illumination” bit, as it’s shown on the cover however not in the noting anywhere. It seems great, so I’m opting for it.) This book is going to look fantastic on my shelf next to all of my Ron Marz-penned Witchblade soft covers created by top Cow’s remarkable Phil Smith. Sadly, the top Cow books are books lots of people won’t take a possibility on because of a decade’s old prejudice that doesn’t in shape the material. You’d believe fantastic composing as well as fantastic art would be enough.

Magdalena Vol. 1

Magdalena volume 1 softcover

Speaking of fantastic composing as well as fantastic art, it appears like I’m going to be getting a lot of fantastic top Cow books in January. If you believe Marz does a fantastic task on Witchblade, picture exactly how incredible his composing is on the book he waited years to compose for top Cow! Done imagining yet? exactly how about now? Yeah, it’s much better than that. as well as if you’re trying to find something to whet your whistle before it ships, we’re still taking orders for Magdalena Origins volume 1.

Robert E. Howard’s Sword Woman

Robert E. Howard: The Sword lady & other historical Adventures soft cover

I’ve never checked out any type of Robert E. Howard stories (that I understand of), however I’d be lying if I stated women wielding swords wasn’t sexy; throwing in the historical adventures element of it just makes it that much a lot more intriguing.

Sucker Punch Statue: infant Doll

Sucker Punch: infant Doll statue

I haven’t been amazed with director Zack Snyder’s previous films (300, Watchmen), however this statue has done a lot more to motivate me to provide sucker Punch than quite much anything else might (paying me not-withstanding). If I had the room, I’d be getting both this as well as the sucker Punch: Amber statue.

That’s it for this week. comply with my tweets, email me, as well as be sure to keep an eye out on the Westfield Comics Facebook.
