Oblivion Song, Vol.6

 It has been over four years since I first began the epic image comics series "Oblivion Song", the story of a man named Nathan Cole caught between two worlds, and just tonight i finished reading the series last amazing arc!
The series started out as a man jumping back and forth between the two worlds, trying to save the people who have slipped to the alien side, but slowly turned into a dramatic tale of epic proportions as it becomes a story of war against an alien race who are hellbent on using the timeslipping tech to invade out world and take over!
Lots of twists and turns, and strangely short and sweet as compared to other works of Robert "Walking Dead" Kirkman!

Outcast, Vol.8: The Merged

 
Though I was worried that OUTCAST was going to turn into another Walking Dead Rick Grimes "troubled anti-leader forced to lead ragtag team in the face of the apocalypse"  type, it  stayed grounded enough and brought the series in for a satisfying landing.
Knew they wouldn't let Kyle off with a happy ending without some kind of buzzkill, and yep, they HAD to mar it somehow, but still, a great series.

The Walking Dead Vol.32: Rest In Peace

Well, thanks to Big Mouth Zack of Diversity & Comics, I already knew the BIG spoiler for this story arc, but I wasn't surprised Mssrs Kirkman and Adlard decided to wrap this series up. Like the television series, that it spawned, the trials and tribulations of Rick Grimes and the gang was beginning to be repetitive: Have Peace. Meet New People. Stir things up. There is an uprising, people die, more peace, over and over.
At least they managed to end things on a nice note.

Oblivion Song, Vol.One: Chapter One

A few months I picked up the first two issues of Oblivion Song and noted that, while it was intriguing, it would read better in collected form so I decdied to drop the monthlies and wait for the volume trades.
Welp, Volume One just came out and I gotta say this is shaping up to be yet another great Kirkman series, along with Outcast and Walking Dead.

Outcast: Vol.6: Invasion

Things are moving along swimmingly for Kyle and his gang of Demon-exorcising co-horts but I AM worrying that the characters will become just another "Walking Dead" retread as he becomes the de-facto :"head" of his group, complete with headquarters and fences to "keep the bad guys out"....

Oblivion Song

Checking out the new Robert Kirkman series "Oblivion Song". Was gonna wait until it got collected into a trade, but since Gecko's had the first two issues, I decided, what the hell, I'll check it out. Pretty good so far!!!

EDIT:
Decided to wait until Oblivion Song is collected into Graphic Novel form rather than buying the floppies each month.

The Walking Dead Vol.25-26

Jason has been complaining that he's getting bored of watching The Walking Dead on AMC because he felt like ti was getting into a rut with the same old problems happening over nad over and over again...
Funny, that's the same problem I'm beginning to have with the COMIC! Rick just making the same dumb mistakes over and over again... really waiting for this thing to pick up.

Outcast,Vol.1-3

Don't know how the Netflix series is doing, but I really LOVE the comic series that it's based on! As usual, before I read the new Trade, i had to go back and re-read the first two books to refresh my memory of the storyline....

The Walking Dead, Vol.25: No Turning Back

I was not a regular monthly collector of Rober Kirkman/Charles Adlard's Walking Dead, opting to wait for the huge 50 issues thick "Compendium" Editions, but I found it was agonizing waiting so long to see what happened next to Rick Grimes and his crew, additionally, So much time had passed that i would have to re-read all the previous omnibuses before to remember what happened!
Finally, after the third Omnibus, I decided that I jsut couldn't wait for the next omnibus, and finally began collecting the trade paperbacks which came out a bit more regularly, starting with Trade 25.
Awwwww so good!

The Walking Dead Compendium 3

The Walking Dead Compendiums (which collect a whopping 50 issues of the popular series) are released so far and few between that I always have to go back and re-read the previous compendiums to refresh my memory of what's happened before! What a massive, EPIC series!!!!
