Corey Lewis' Dead in the Now

Corey Lewis, the creator of the critically acclaimed series Sharknife and PENG has a new online comic that’s in the running on Zuda called “Dead in the Now“.

Just look at the art in the image here, it’s freaking fantastic, it’s some of the best work in Rey’s career! So hurry up and vote so we can see some more!

(Pretty Late) Thursday Reflections

May 5 2008

Ok so I’m a little behind here, admittedly it’s mostly because I forgot I was doing these, but anyway here’s my reactions to last week’s pretty dry selection:

DC Universe 0

Basically we’ve got an advertising book here, time was these things would be free, now they’re 40p. Looking forward to seeing Barry Allen back and that multiple Legion story.

Green Lantern 30

So did infinite crisis make it so that all of the reactionary innovations to the GL Corps were always in place, like the training Lanterns etc? If so, doesn’t that lessen the impact of the rebirth storyline?

Iron Fist 14

Seriously Marvel, these 14 issues are a hit movie served up and ready to go. Make it happen.

New X-men Warriors 11

It still annoys me that Bandit in posing as his brother Night Thrasher, managed to change his skeletal structure from being a big dude, to a lean clone of his half brother.

Bonus round!

So this week also saw the release of Ironman, which I cannot find any fault with whatsoever, perfect cast, perfect story, perfect effects. Best Marvel movie yet, kudos Marvel Studios.

Thursday Reflections — Thor #8

April 24 2008

I’m fairly disappointed that Marko Djurdjevic’s interior art on Thor is kinda wishy washy. I’m hoping it’s just Danny Miki being an unsuitable inker for Djurdjevic, since his painted and pencil art is astounding. I’d like to see him paint or at least do the whole digital colours over pencils treatment on his next book.

Edit - Actually I think the quality is down to the printing, the black ink plate seems a bit too light.

Thursday Reflections — Hulk #3

April 24 2008

Anyone notice that Red Hulk has the same spiffy haircut that Doc Samson’s been sporting lately?

Hey, wasn’t Samson’s whole deal that he couldn’t cut his hair because his powers would go away, like the biblical figure? What happened to that?
