[The Take Out Bandit]

WooooOooOOo WOOooOOooOoOo Wellllcome to the October sequential-art storytelling spectacular topic!

Here are some relevant reads for the month of October, hand picked for you by me.

I suggest checking out all of these books, and the bolded titles I suggest checking out EVEN MORE!

The Coffin

Since the birth of man, eternal life has been one of the species' greatest dreams. For Dr. Ashtar Ahmad, it has been more than a dream; it's been a lifelong obsession. And while he has not conquered death's rule over the body, he has found a way to keep the soul alive - a complex suit that houses the inner being of the deceased and allows them to go on living. When a group of unknown assailants come of Ahmad's research, the doctor is caught in the crossfire, and his only chance at survival is an untested prototype of his most prized invention. But when the megalomaniacal tycoon responsible for the break-in kidnaps Ashar's daughter to use as a bargaining chip in acquiring the groundbreaking discovery, the good doctor must discover how to stop his enemy and keep his soul intact. Can he make up in death for his misdeeds from life? A mix of classic science fiction and superhero comic books, The Coffin points in the direction of the bold new future of the genre-driven graphic novel.

The Crow

When James O’Barr poured the pain and anguish of a personal tragedy into the drawings that comprise The Crow, his intensely cathartic story of Eric—who returns from the dead to avenge his and his fiancÉe’s murder at the hands of a street gang—resonated with readers around the world. Now, the illustrated tale that became the “thrilling” (Los Angeles Daily News) and “spectacular” (Chicago Tribune) screen triumph is re-released in an expanded version the author originally intended, complete at last with:
Thirty pages of never-before-seen artwork, including a new closing segment, “Sparklehorse,” and the touching new scene, “An August Noel”

A new Introduction by James O’Barr

Lost sequences restored using the artist’s original technique

This is The Crow like you’ve never seen it before—the powerful journey of an avenging angel and a celebration of true love . . . as fierce, intelligent, and unforgettable as when it was first conceived.

Bernie Wrightsons Frankenstein

Few works by comic-book artists have earned the universal acclaim and reverence that Bernie Wrightson's illustrated version of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein was met with upon its original release in 1983. Twenty-five years later, this magnificent pairing of art and literature is still considered to be one of the greatest achievements made by any artist in the field. Now, Wrightson and Dark Horse Books are collaborating on a beautiful new hardcover edition of the book, published in a larger 9' x 12' format intended to show off the exquisitely detailed line art of one of the greatest living artists in comics today. This book includes the complete text of the original groundbreaking novel, and the original forty-seven full-page illustrations that stunned the world with their monumental beauty and uniqueness.

Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch Classic

1990: The debut of Danny Ketch as the Spirit of Vengeance - with menace, misfortune, and mystery waiting for him! After an origin whose full implications remain unrevealed to this day, the Ghost Rider goes flaming head-first into a gang war between the Kingpin and his conjuring competitor, Deathwatch! Plus: the bite of Blackout, the menace of Masque's Morlocks, and more! The Scarecrow makes his move into horror comics, while Flag-Smasher joins a war effort...to start one! Guest-starring the X-Men and the Punisher! Collects Ghost Rider #1-10.

The Goon Volume 1: Nothin but Misery

Goon and his sidekick Franky seek their fortune in a haunted house plagued by inbred ghosts!

HELLBOY IN MEXICO (OR, A DRUNKEN BLUR)

During the 1950s, Hellboy caravans across Mexico with a trio of vampire-killing luchadores, finding the undead; evil turkeys; a terrible bat god; and a little too much tequila.

Hellboy Library Edition, Vol. 1: Seed of Destruction and Wake the Devil

Since Mike Mignola's Hellboy first hit the stands in 1993, it has become a cultural sensation, racking up a dozen Eisner Awards and inspiring numerous spinoffs, from a novel line, to video games, to feature films. Now, Dark Horse is pleased to present the comics that started it all, collected in deluxe hardcover editions. Sized at a generous 9" x 12", and handsomely bound to match The Art of Hellboy, each volume contains two complete story-arcs-the equivalent of two full trade-paperbacks. Each volume of the Hellboy Library Edition also includes extensive supplemental materials, including previously unreleased sketches and designs.

* Hellboy Volume 1 collects the first two story-arcs-Seed of Destruction and Wake the Devil-with the original introductions by Robert Bloch and Alan Moore.[/quote]

The Marquis: Inferno

t was during the 18th century that the Ministry of Inquisition ruled over the lands of Venisalle, for in the world of The Marquis, faith and religion are the strict laws of life and death. It is into this world that the souls of Hell have escaped to sin, murder and be free by taking possession of the living. During this time, a man of the Inquisition finds himself blessed with the ability to see into the very souls of the damned and fight the devils within. But as the Marquis begins his holy crusade to send back the escapees of Hell, the battle between good and evil starts to blur into a struggle between faith and sanity.

Nocturnals Volume One: Black Planet and Other Stories

Nocturnals Volume 2: The Dark Forever & Other Tales

The Nocturnals is a neat mesh of weird: you have pulp, horror, and Halloween, and it creates something really special. Essentially, this is an ensemble story about a family and the trouble that they frequently face. The saturnine fellow up there with the girl with two-tones hair is Doc Horror and his daughter, Evening. Doc and Eve fell to earth from another dimension, trying to escape the parasitic evil that took over their own planet. Eve was just a small child at the time, and as a result of her fall was seperated from her father for a year as he tried to find her. Doc ended up working for an old time gangster who eventually helped him reunite with Eve.

Around that same time period their littel twosome grew by several as Polychrome, Starfish, the Gunwitch, Firelion, and Komodo were adopted into the clan. Eventually the Raccoon began to tag along too, originally because he'd very much like to get into Starfish's pants. Each Noctunal has their own bizarre back story, and it parts of each are revealed through the different stories currently out.

Awesome Source, Check it out!

Scary Godmother

It's Halloween night and it's up to Scary Godmother to show one little girl just how much fun spooky can be! Meet Hannah Marie, who, with the help of Scary Godmother, stands up to her mean-spirited cousin Jimmy and her fear of monsters on her first Halloween adventure with the big kids. Later, Hannah joins forces with Orson, the vampire boy, to unravel a mystery near and dear to their hearts. Some of Scary Godmother's closest (and most frightful) pals get in on the fun too, including Bugaboo, the Boozle, and Skully Pettibone.

Spooks Volume 1

Spooks Volume 2: Omega Team (v. 2)

“SPOOKS” is the unofficial name for the United States Department of Supernatural Defense (DOSD), a high-tech secret branch of the military that protects American borders from things that go bump in the night. And when the king of all vampires allies with the deadliest of witches, their terrorist plot unleashes an invasion of classic monsters on U.S. soil, propelling the Spooks team into action.

The DOSD is comprised of several divisions, but the one that strikes fear even into the other battle-hardened SPOOKS agents is Omega Team. They are the elite – the baddest of the bad. They are the SPOOKS assassins - sent in to eradicate the monsters too tough for anyone else to handle - no questions asked, no mercy given. Their missions are strictly black-ops, off-the-books, and highly classified. In fact, there is no official record that Omega Team even exists.

Swamp Thing: Dark Genesis

He has become a modern legend, this mysterious creature of the Louisiana bayou. Feared as a monster, hailed as a god, by turns wonderfully benevolent and pitiless in his wrath, the Swamp Thing has carved his unique niche in the American Landscape.

Writer Len Wein and legendary horror artist Bernie Wrightson, the original creators of the most complex creature in comics, brought the "Swamp Thing" to life in an 8-page story from HOUSE OF SECRETS #92. Now that classic story, plus the first ten issues of SWAMP THING Volume One, are reprinted in a new edition of SWAMP THING: DARK GENESIS - a 240-page VERTIGO trade paperback.

In DARK GENESIS, learn the astonishing secret of Swamp Thing's "birth"; share the forbidden passions of Anton Arcane and the measureless sorrow of the Patchwork Man; shiver to the timeless horror of the witch named Rebecca Ravenwind and of a tortured Scottish werewolf. These eleven stories are not merely acknowledged classics of the comics field; they are an incredible reading experience, and the ideal introduction to the many-faceted creature known as Swamp Thing.

I can dig him, but I still prefer my old blue jumpsuit Johnny Blaze. I'm not sure if modern day GAF peeps can stomach the fiery Evel Knievel homage though.

why is batwoman not up there bro

Unless she has centipedes and spiders in her bajingo, she's simply not spooky enough for this month!

 

[Parallax]

Godlike.

And I kinda want a Fire. Digital comics seems appealing, but a 7" screen probably isn't the best way to read them.

Is IDW using this style for the comic, or is the interior different?

I ask because it would be interesting to see a licensed title adhere to strict character model sheets.

That's the style.

Except for a short mini-story in the back of the book.

 

[VGChampion]

I wish more comics did a special Halloween issue like shows do. I would love to see a fun little story with some Super Heroes just having fun on October 31st.

Can't wait for the Kindle Fire to come out. Already have an iPad but I want to see some videos of the comics on this bad boy. If any tablet can rival the iPad, it's probably going to be this one. Plus, all the Fable graphic novels?! That would be crazy cool to carry around.

 

[Satch]

bandit i hope youll draw some pics for halloween

wow IDW didn't super shit the insides of that one, wierd

Anyone else ever hear something along the lines that Bernie Wrightson damaged his hand with the amount of detail and time he took to do the illustrations for Frankenstein?

i think im going to be action comics superman-girl with the S shirt and the tiny cape for Halloween this year

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Haw!

Saw a chick at work the other day with a Superman shirt. Always fun to see chicks in geek attire and assume they're one of us, gooble gobble gooble gobble!

I inventoried my Kamandi collection tonight to rebuild the list of issues I'm missing.

Half tempted to cancel my omnibus pre-order. It would be nice to have it sitting on my shelf; but I've about ten issues away from a complete run. It's kind of redundant and a testament as to why I have no money saved. :|

Mid Ohio Con is at the end of the month. I'm going to finish her off then, and see about getting runs of The New Gods and OMAC.

Dat Kirby!

[BenjaminBirdie]

For some reason "Danny Ketch" in the Ghost Rider font is cracking me up. One of the all time worst alter ego names.

 

[Bull]

Can you buy this through the IDW app on the iPad?

Also, wasn't Marvel going to start releasing all their titles on the iPad? There don't seem to be any new Hulk issues available to buy.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

<3 Goon. I need to pick up the next trade, which is the Chinatown one.

Also, if those trades are available on the Kindle Fire, I may have to get one.

Next week?

When does JLA #2 come out?

Next week?

the 19th

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

the 19th

Damn that's almost two months between releases. Did it get delayed or was it always that?

 

[FoneBone]

Damn that's almost two months between releases. Did it get delayed or was it always that?

It was always that - it's coming out the third Wednesdays in November and December, too. The gap between #1 and #2 definitely strikes me as questionable scheduling, though.

 

[Satch]

IMAGE Expands Digital Offerings, Same-Day on comiXology

woohoo!

 

[SUPREME1]

It was always that - it's coming out the third Wednesdays in November and December, too. The gap between #1 and #2 definitely strikes me as questionable scheduling, though.

I guess that was supposed to be the permanent shedule, JLA#1 having been released ahead of everything else for the hpye?

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I picked up Ultimates #2 and The Flash #1, with all the praise they were getting. Haven't read them yet.

Wednesday, I'll just be getting Action and Detective.

 

[kswiston]

DC is hogging what little comic reading time I have these days. Went from 3 DC books to about 15 a month. I think the only Marvel book I am up to date with is Uncanny X-Force.

Next week looks like a good one for DC books. Will probably grab Action, Detective, Swamp Thing, Animal Man, and Batwing.

I might also pick up the schism mini now that it is wrapping up.

 

[Satch]

why is men of war 4 bucks?

 

[evilpigking]

I need to stop buying image trades because they always come out with the oversized HCs later =/.. Ah well guess I continue on with paperback for chew and morning glories.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Damn that's almost two months between releases. Did it get delayed or was it always that?

You should get a time machine to get Jim Lee from 1996 who could finish a monthly book to come work on JLA in 2011.

The good news is Jim Lee's style hasn't changed any, so you won't notice a difference. LOLOLOL

He's an executive now. He has to do executive things. He obviously can't be expected to finish comic books and make complex executive decisions.

 

[Satch]

something's gotta give!

 

[Slayven]

Odds on Red Lantern's being as painful as the first issue?

The only executive decision he makes is "add more armor!"

[Xater]

List time!

Marvel:
MOON KNIGHT #6

DC:
ACTION COMICS #2
BATWING #2
DETECTIVE COMICS #2
ANIMAL MAN #2
SWAMP THING #2

Boy DC is kicking so much ass right now.

 

[StoOgE]

Being that I'm new to the whole pull list thing, how do the limited series work?

Is either the Penguin one or the Temptress one worth picking up? Will they have any bearing on the ongoing series? I'm kind of interested in a penguin origin story, so I might grab it.

Are these series usually of dubious quality compared to the ongoing series?

 

[my name is ed]

I think I'll be getting those Frankenstein and Marquis books. They look great. Especially, Frankenstein. :Wow @ that art

Also, The Coffin is one of my favorite books ever. It's back in print? I remember talking to the artist and he told me he pretty much had all the copies left in his closet haha. If its back in print, thats great to hear. Id recommend that book go anyone.

 

[StoOgE]

Anyway, my pull list. I killed off Static Shock just because I needed to cull something and it seemed kind of vanilla.


ACTION COMICS #2 - looking forward to seeing where this goes. I thought the first was kind of bland.
ANIMAL MAN #1 2ND PTG - finally!
ANIMAL MAN #2 - hey, two at once!
Item: BATWING #2 - loved the first one
Item: DETECTIVE COMICS #2 - loved the first one, but am a bit worried with it not fitting into any of the other bat books continuity. It better pull a rabbit out of it's hat or it's cut.
Item: GREEN ARROW #2 - I liked the first one, I like the character. It's kind of vanilla, but the character being one of my favs keeps it safe
Item: JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #2 - last chance
Item: OMAC #2 - the first one was fun
Item: RED LANTERNS #2 - last chance
Item: STORMWATCH #2 - liked the first one a ton
Item: SWAMP THING #2 - super safe
