getting this party started early this week! Booyah!
only read 2 new books this week and enjoyed both. But just like Highlander, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! book of the week
The honorable mention goes to RunLoveKill #1. As mentioned in this fine review on some website called talkingcomics.com the big draw here is the art. For my personal tastes, it doesn't get much better than this. Eric Canete is now my favorite artist for doing action scenes as his use of speed blurs and panels with in-focus and out-of-focus areas was fantastic. As mentioned in the above review, the first 10 pages are worth the price of admission. For a 1st issue the story setup is a bit vague for my tastes but I have faith things will pick up with issue #2 to bring the story more in line with the art. This was part 1 of 8 so it will only go on for so long, so enjoy it while you can.
As good as RunLoveKill was for me though, my book of the week is Chrononauts #2. The story is still about a couple of DudeBros and time travel, but this issue lays out what this series is going to be. no questions, no ambiguity. What this book will be is now a cold, hard fact, squatting on your brain like an octopus (anyone else use way too many American Dad references in their day to day lives?). I'm trying my best to not do spoilers, but basically what you get with this issue is that this is going to be a fun series about 2 guys basically screwing up history for laughs and I for one am ready to sit back and enjoy the ride.
