Rogue Comics

Well, new comics are in and everyones all about World War Hulk. I got the first issues and it look to be shaping up to be another money devouring epic. To tell the truth, I'm kinda tired of all these epics by Marvel and DC. Its just to much to keep up with it all. You gotta buy 15 comics a month just to follow Civil War, 52 had us buying comics every week, And dont even start with Identity Crisis and House of M.

It leads a Rogues mind to wander to simpler times. Times of One-Shot comics and short story arcs. Times before huge sweeping dramas replaced feel good funnies or a good old spidey makes cracks while dodging bullets and kicking Rhino in the face. Comics that don't necessitate that you buy every single spin-off to know what the hells going on.

In that train of thought I asked the some of the good people at Jim Hanley's Universe to turn me on to some new comics that are a little off the beaten path. Here are a list of some of their picks and my opinions buy, pass or read on the rack...

Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life Volume 1 (BUY) Just your average feel good story about a 23 year old in a rock band, dating a high schooler(17), and has a delivery girl running her routes by taking short cuts through his brain, and has to defeat said messenger chick's 7 evil exboyfriends before he can date her... BUT THE WEIRD THING IS... he's CANADIAN! (pause) Yeah I know! Check this one out.

The Mighty Skullboy Army Volume 1 (BUY) This series soooo reminds me of Invader Zim. Its almost the new season we never had. Vasquez that quitter... I miss him so much...

The Midnighter (Read On The Rack): Cause the story arcs don't connect too much its hit or miss with this series. Sometimes you get a good arc, sometimes not, sometimes homosexual samurai kill hundreds of people... (WHAT? It happens...) so browse and see.
