WHAT'S THE COMIC ABOUT?

Zombies Calling is a graphic novel about three friends, Joss, Robyn and Sonnet, and their attempts to survive an infestation of zombies by following the Rules of Zombie Movies. You know those cliches that seem to pop up in pretty much every movie with the term "walking undead" in it? Doesn't it make sense that following those rules would help you survive a real life zombie attack? Makes sense to me. Thus, Zombies Calling.

GRENDEL BEHOLD THE DEVIL #1 (of 8 )

The original Grendel, Hunter Rose, returns in this new miniseries written and drawn by Matt Wagner!

This is an untold chapter in the life of the greatest criminal mastermind in history--a thrilling and horrifying glimpse into a time when Rose's novels were at the top of all the bestseller lists and rumors of the assassin Grendel were on the lips of every terrified mobster unfortunate enough to present an obstacle to Rose's utter domination of the city's underworld.

For the first time in over a decade, Wagner returns to the character that made him famous to reveal the biggest secret of Rose's illustrious and bloody career as Grendel!

$3.50, available in shops now.

The Scream #1

Dark Horse Comics brings you another creation of action, adventure, and suspense that will have you chomping at the bit for the next issue. Scripted by Peter David, The Scream #1 promises to be chock-full of paranoia and suspicion. Bart Sears, Randy Elliott, and Lucas Marangon team up to bring The Scream’s images to life in a way that will have you questioning the little voices inside your own head.

Danny Duncan’s life is a mess. His job is mind-numbingly boring, his elderly father is slipping into senility, and since Danny got out of the Belle Foux treatment facility people have been saying he’s crazy. On top of all that, odd things have started to happen around Danny. People are behaving strangely around him, as if they’re reacting to his thoughts and daydreams. What is this strange phenomenon, and how is it tied to Danny’s recent stay at Belle Foux?

“Peter David, Bart Sears, and Randy Elliott have all brought their A-game to The Scream,” says Dave Land. “This is definitely a series that their fans won’t want to miss.”

The Scream #1 $2.99

Army @ Love #9

Artist: Rick Veitch
Publisher: DC (Vertigo)
Price: $2.99

All I can say about this series is, it's as weird as all the rest of his stuff. Nicely drawn, and a great idea, but so STERILE, this stuff is relatively untouchable.

One wonders what kind of side deal Time Warner has to keep this shit floating? Probably they ship it to all our fine service boys in Iraq as some sort of hope inducing propaganda, or something.

Other than that, hardly worth a grunt at the porcelain altar.
