STAFF PICKS :: KAIJUMAX #1 :: APRIL 8TH 2015

April 07, 2015 By: Justin Crouse Category: DISCUSS, Staff Picks

staff_picksjustin_staff_picksJUSTIN’S PICK :: KAIJUMAX #1: This is one of those comics > movies things. Giant Monster Prison might be kind of awkward on the silver screen, but on the paneled page, flowing from the pen of creator Zander Cannon, it just works. With obvious echoes of Godzilla and Ultraman, but also notes of Rampage (one of my favorite arcade/8 bit diversions of yore), exploitation cinema, and 90s gangsta rap, this comic promises to synthesize a lot of disparate elements into a delectable confection. I can’t really say why you should buy this book, other than I don’t know why you wouldn’t.

STAFF PICKS :: THE AUTEUR #1 :: MARCH 5, 2014

March 05, 2014 By: Justin Crouse Category: DISCUSS, Staff Picks

staff_picksjustin_staff_picksJUSTIN’S PICK :: THE AUTEUR #1: If you’re one of those people who loves comics but loathes their self-imposed limitations, this is a book for you. An unclassifiable offering, writer Rick Spears weaves a mesmerizingly slimy portrayal of La-La Land, while James Callahan crafts art that’s somewhere between John Waters and Geof Darrow. Both Spears and Callahan will be guests at this year’s Heroes Con; pick up The Auteur so you can tell these fine gents what a bang-up job they did.

STAFF PICKS :: X-MEN #38 & STUMPTOWN #3 :: NOVEMBER 07, 2012

November 06, 2012 By: Rico Renzi Category: DISCUSS, Staff Picks

Maybe I shouldn’t use the Heroes blog to push books I’ve worked on but darn it, I’m proud of these two books I colored that are coming out this week!

RICO’S PICK(S) :: X-MEN #38: The solicitations say this one is written by Brian Wood and David Lopez but I’m here to let you know that is incorrect my friends. X-Men #38 is written by Seth Peck and it features almost no X-Men! This issue a old-fashioned team up featuring Daredevil and Domino. The art is provided by Paul Azaceta and myself, check out page 1 below.

STUMPTOWN #3: Greg Rucka and Matthew Southworth’s Stumptown really heats up this issue. The twists and turns are picking up and the action is coming to a head. Grab the first two issues of this while we have them and pick #3 up when it comes out this Wednesday. I think you’ll agree, Dex Parios is one of the most well developed and likable characters in comics.

STAFF PICKS :: STUMPTOWN: THE CASE OF THE BABY IN THE VELVET CASE #1 :: SEPTEMBER 12, 2012

September 12, 2012 By: Rico Renzi Category: DISCUSS, Staff Picks

RICO’S PICK :: STUMPTOWN: THE CASE OF THE BABY IN THE VELVET CASE #1: If I don’t talk about the stuff I work on who will?! The first Stumptown series by Greg Rucka and Matthew Southworth was a really fun Rockford Files style detective story. I’m very happy to see Dex back for what is sure to be another wild ride. Full disclosure, I color this series so I may be biased. Full full disclosure, I agreed to color it because I loved the story Rucka and Southworth were telling.
