And no, it’s not all, “Hey, sailor, got a few bucks in your pocket?” solicitations.
Pervs.
Here are some highlights:
THE WALKING DEAD #50
story by Robert Kirkman, art and cover by Charlie Adlard and Cliff Rathburn.
This book has been building up a fan base over time for a good reason — it’s a captivating read. Everything to this point is available in trades (I think) so it’s a good jumping on point.
THE PERHAPANAUTS #1
story by Todd DeZago, art and cover by Craig Rousseau
Much like “Proof” and “BPRD,” this series deals with “imaginary” creatures living in the world, fighting to keep it safe. Difference is, DeZago and Rousseau have proven over two mini-series and an annual that they can tell a good story with humor and an eye toward the future.
INVINCIBLE UNIVERSE PRIMER #1
stories by Robert Kirkman and Bruce Brown, art by Cory Walker, Jason Howard and Cliff Rathburn.
For those of you looking for a way into the Invincible Universe, look no further. The first issues of three funny and smart series are collected together for $6. For me, if it came down to getting rid of one of the Marvel, DC or Invincible Universes, I’d have to figure out if I like Batman better than Spider-Man, because Invincible is one of my top reads every month (when it comes out).
GØDLAND #23
story by Joe Casey, art and cover by Tom Scioli
Hey, you know what’s really good? GODLAND. So start reading it, you jerks.
