Comic That Interest Me This Week

Here is just a sampling of the comics coming out tomorrow (Wednesday) that I think deserve to be mentioned. A complete list can be found here.

Doktor Sleepless #1 Auxiliary and Black Summer #1 Auxiliary


For anyone who missed out on the first issues of Warren Ellis’ new Avatar Press series, both are offered again in what is being called an “auxiliary” issue.


For those that don’t know, Black Summer is the story of a group of super heroes who were once the world’s greatest protectors. Well, what happens to those people if one teammate takes it upon himself to kill the President of the USA because he thinks the President is a corrupt criminal? Anti-American superheroes are right up my alley. It is penciled by the highly meticulous Juan Jose Ryp.


Doktor Sleepless is a futuristic tale about a man who may or may not be a revolutionary figure. It is filled with the standard, crazy ideas for which Ellis is known. If you find the tongue-in-cheek subtitle of the first issue, Future Science Jesus, funny, then you will probably like the series. Pencils by Ivan Rodriguez,


Kong: King of Skull Island #0


Markosia Press releases a zero issue as the first part of their licensed King Kong comics. My friend Chuck Satterlee is writing this one and it is penciled by Dan O’Connor. Pick it up and support Chuck and if your shop doesn’t have it, make them order it.


Casanova #10


One of the best books on the market. Hands down. And it’ll only cast you $1.99. Buy it.


Jack of Fables Vol. 2 – Jack of Hearts


This collects the second arc of the Fables spin-off by Bill Willingham. If you like Fables, you will more than likely like this.
