Saga, Vol.11

 Watching the HBO series GAME of THRONES, it seemed to me that they kept systematically killing off every cool character until by the end only second tier characters like Sam Tarley were running the show!( Small wonder I slowly but surely lost interest in the show as a whole!)

Sadly, it appears (at least to me) that they're doing the SAME thing with SAGA, using deaths to fuel shock and emotion t the end of each big story arc, but leaving us with weaker characters to follow in its wake.... VERY disappointed with how this volume ended.

Saga, Vol.10

 After the deaths of so many key characters in the last story arc, the new chapter was off to a rough start, and after two issues and losing interest fast, I really lost my fascination with this strip and no longer felt it was worth it to trudge into the comic shop each month to pick up each issue. So from that point on, i would begin only collecting the trades, and this is the first of them, collecting issues 55-60.

Paper Girls Vol.6

Trade paperback for the Final Paper Girls arc.

"Barrier"

Always up for reading anything from Brian K Vaughan and his latest mini-series "Barrier" with artist Marcos Martin intrigued me with its unique sideways "calendar" style book, beautiful art and compelling story of barriers, both physical, social and mental, but after reading all 5 issues, I have to say for the record how I much I HATED the way it ended. Very "clever" but BRAH what a waste of time this ultimately turned into. I'll pass.

Paper Girls Vol.5

First trade Paperback I've gotten of Paper Girls since I dropped the series as a monthly pick-up, and had quite a bit of catching up to do! Even had to go back and re-read some of the issue before to get reacquainted with the series!

We Stand On Guard

Image had finally gotten around to issuing a trade paperback version of Brian K Vaughan and Steve Skroce's awesome WE STAND ON GUARD, when I saw the book on the "New Releases" shelf at Gecko Comics, I thought for one fleeting moment that they had made a sequel to the first book! But opening up the book, I calmed back down when I saw it was the same story i already had.
Having said that, when I got home, I realized it had been awhile since I'd read my copy, and so I broke it out to re-read again, and Goddamn if it isn't even better the second time around.
Funny that Gerg thought this book was mediocre, it was far more interesting than 99% of the superhero stuff he usually brings me, LOL

We Stand On Guard

Just started reading the awesome Brian K Vaughan/Steve Skroce Graphic Novel WE STAND ON GUARD and Holy CRAP am I LOVING it! Cool Characters and situations in a post-apocalyptic future where the United States is in Battle against Canada with hi-tech weaponry and giant freaking robots. Funnily enough, my friend tried to dissuade me from reading this, saying it was “meh”, but after reading just ONE chapter at Barnes and Nobles, I HAD to pick it up! Superb art and storytelling!!!

Paper Girls #1

If you've ever gone shopping with my friends at Best Buy, you'll know that they can spend hours just browsing the electronics, checking out the cameras, fussing with the phone accessories, etc. without ever looking up once, I, on the other hand, always know exactly what I want and purchase it right away, and so it was that I ended up in the car waiting in the Best buy parking Lot for them to finish one day, with nothing to occupy myself!
Then I remembered that the comic store Other Realms had moved out of Ward Warehouse and right into the building behind Best Buy! I ran over, knowing I could find something to read there!!!
What I was figuring on was buying some trade paperback or something, but instead, what I saw right on the new release rack was a brand-spanking new Image comics series called PAPER GIRLS, and it was written by Brian K Vaughan, no less! I immediately snatched that one up and for the next half hour or so sat in the car taking in the new adventures of four rambunctious newspaper carrier girls in the mid-eighties who have a brush with what can only be time travelers from another era...or aliens from another dimension!
WHOO, what a timely find- I would have been ahppy to read ANYTHING to kill my boredom, instead I got what has become yet another great series to subscribe to!!!

Saga #25

Whoooohooo, ring the alarms, SAGA is back from hiatus at last (having to wait the three-four months between arcs is soooo hard as this series rocks so much) and it's as damn freaking GREAT as ever!!!!
Mmmm, think I'm gonna re-read the entire series from issue #1 all over again!

Y The Last Man (Complete Series)

One of the greatest comic cook series of all time, Y: The Last Man tells the tale of Yorick, the supposed "last man" on earth and the trials and tribulations he and his pet monkey through. The series that introduced me to the fantastic art of Pia Guerra and the insanely awesome writing of Brian K  Vaughan!
