of the Batman movies, X-Men, Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles, and more!
And in our own words: a laugh a minute! All of your
favorite MAD stories presented here with a fantastic
cover by Alex Ross and a foreword from some weird
old hanger-on named Adam West. How could it be that

need only purchase it to know… |

student who has been pulled into the spy trade,
only to find that things aren't always as glamorous
as a James Bond film. |

| Torso:
Cleveland, 1945. Elliot Ness is fresh from his victory

Bullets: A dream come true for crime noir junkies.
Read: Murder. Admit it: You've had it in your heart
at one time or another. Somebody, somewhere, did
something so bad, so wrong, you wanted to kill them…if
only for a split second. So here's the question:
What would you do if you were given the opportunity
and the means to get away with it, scot-free? That's
the question posed in 100 Bullets, an ongoing Vertigo
series from the critically acclaimed team of writer
Brian Azzarello and artist Eduardo Risso-with painted
covers by Dave Johnson. This ones' destined to be
classic folks, remembered for gritty, hard-boiled
espionage and all-encompassing thrills. Azzarello
and Risso work spectacularly together like no other
tandem in comics…you won't be putting this
one down after you read it once. |

Comics' 9-11: Emergency Relief |
| Price:
$14.95 |
The
terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington,
DC on September 11th touched people worldwide, and
cartoonists have turned to art to express their
grief. 9-11: Emergency Relief is a comic book project
to benefit the American Red Cross featuring some
of the comic world's leading talents. From legendary
creators such as Will Eisner to hot new talents
such as cover artist Frank Cho, artists from all
areas of the cartooning world have joined together
in this community effort. 9-11: Emergency Relief
is a collection of these cartoonists' personal non-fiction
accounts of their experiences related to the tragedy.
While not received in the comic world with as much
ballyhoo as the bigger companies' projects, this
large volume is just as heartfelt and relevant as
all the other tribute books regarding September
11. The candid personal accounts of these artists
are very real and in-depth, and they bring readers
infinitely closer to these creators' relative perspectives
than ever before. Well worth every penny. |

Avon Oeming, and calamitous writing from everyone's
favorite heterosexual lifemate, Silent Bob, Bluntman&Chronic

| Batman/Deathblow:
After the Fire |
| This
comic, the first in a three-issue Prestige-format
mini-series, features one of comic's hottest
writers, Brian Azzarello, and two stellar
artists, Lee Bermejo on pencils, and Tim
Bradstreet on inks, all working together
to create the perfectly dark, surreal look
and feel for this tale of an assassination
gone terribly wrong. A decade ago, Deathblow,
an old Wildstorm afterthought that Azzarello
brings a surprising depth to, embarked upon
a task with murderous intent, but for unknown
reasons, doesn't finish his work. Turns
out that during the job, Deathblow's life
was saved by an International Operations
agent; the agent just happened to be an
associate of Bruce Wayne, and when said
agent is mysteriously killed, someone's
in line for a beating. Enter the Dark Knight
detective. Batman must uncover the mystery
behind the ten-year-old botched black-ops
mission and bring his friends' killer to
justice, and to do so, it'd be nice if Bats
could talk to Michael Cray (codename Deathblow).
The problem with questioning Cray? He's
dead. This beginning chapter of this mini-series
reads quickly and intriguingly, and fans
of Azzarello will immediately recognize
his innate ability to grab the super-interested
psyche of the reader and give it the chokehold.
Artists Bermejo and Bradstreet are at their
foreboding best as well, and if there's
a grittier, seedier underbelly in the DC
universe than their dank Gotham City, then
it certainly hasn't been stylistically represented
any better than this. This is easily going
to be considered one of the best mini-series
of the year, so don't miss out on this first
issue. |
