STAFF PICKS :: THE HUMANS #1 :: NOVEMBER 5, 2014

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

staff_picksjustin_staff_picksJUSTIN’S PICK ::  THE HUMANS #1: When this book was solicited, it appeared to be more of the genre mash-uppery we’ve come to crave from Image Comics. “Planet of the Apes meets Sons of Anarchy” was my small mind’s trifling conclusion. Imagine my surprise when The Humans #1 turned out to encompass a far more broad range of reference points. Steeped in the exploitative iconography of 70s cinema and lacquered (liquored?) with an appropriately underground sensibility, this book’s as entertaining as it is unclassifiable. The back cover by bountiful Benjamin Marra sums things up nicely, and it’s also hand-lettered, which always sends my heart aflutter. Take a bow, Keller/Neely/Collantes…you’ve crafted a thing of gritty beauty.

STAFF PICKS :: HENRY & GLENN FOREVER & EVER #1 :: AUGUST 28, 2013

August 28, 2013 By: Justin Crouse Category: DISCUSS, Staff Picks

staff_picksjustin_staff_picksJUSTIN’S PICK :: HENRY & GLENN FOREVER & EVER #1: There’s a lot of stuff I’d pick this week: Uncanny Avengers #11, pitting Wolverine against a resurrected and repowered Daken, or Aw Yeah! Comics’ great new Itty Bitty interpretation of Hellboy and company. But despite all that, my pick is Henry & Glenn Forever & Ever #1. The original H+G consisted of one-panel gags by the slick chaps at art collective Igloo Tornado, along with journal snippets and a Satanic Hall and Oates to round out the hilarity. Now the gang’s back together (with some new pals in tow) offering up all-new sequential strips starring the star-crossed couple. See! Glenn’s reaction to the first book! Witness! Henry unleash a dastardly threat from beneath the front yard! But mostly, laugh. And if you haven’t checked out the original book – Henry & Glenn Forever, remember – no coffee table is complete without it!
