[REVIEW] ‘CONAN VOLUME 7: CIMMERIA’ HC

“Trade Show” reviews?! Oh yeah, I gots another one to post…

CONAN VOLUME 7: CIMMERIA HC

DARK HORSE
They say you can never go home again, but when you’re a near unstoppable, sword-wielding warrior, you go where you damn please! In this homecoming story written by Timothy Truman, Conan forsakes the scantily clad beauties of past volumes for a visit to the cruel country he came from: Cimmeria. Stumbling upon a lost love, a pack of warriors and an angry sorcerer before returning to his village, Conan’s flashback interludes come illustrated by the incomparable Richard Corben, and tell tales of Conan’s grandfather Connacht and his exploits that further enlighten readers to the titular hero’s current struggle. Cimmeria rechristens the barbarian badass anew.

[REVIEW] ‘HOUSE OF MYSTERY’ VOL. 2

Yet another “Trade Show” entry from this badass blogger right here…

HOUSE OF MYSTERY VOL. 2

DC/VERTIGO

This second installment of Matthew Sturges and Bill Willingham’s reinvention of a DC classic raises the bar from quirky horror storytelling to the threshold of a sprawling epic on par with their work on Fables and Jack of Fables. Featuring an arsenal of wicked artists such as Mouse Guard’s David Petersen and Swamp Thing’s Bernie Wrightson alongside series mainstay Luca Rossi, this volume delves into what goes on below the House in its enigmatic basement as lead heroine Fig learns about her father’s secrets and a bit more about her reticent love interest, barkeep Harry. As engaging as any comic on stands today, House of Mystery has cryptic rooms left to explore while still begging you to step back into each collection in search of more clues.

[REVIEW] ‘Daredevil: Lady Bullseye’

Another “Trade Show” joint from yours truly…

DAREDEVIL: LADY BULLSEYE

MARVEL

Ed Brubaker brings a brand-new villain into Daredevil’s world with the first story spotlighting the dangerous Lady Bullseye. As the female killer who emulates the classic DD baddie allies herself with The Hand in order to get a shot at Murdock, a cadre of Marvel street-level heroes come together to defend themselves from the ninja threat. With great art by Clay Mann and Michael Lark, this seedy crime book converts to a classic kung fu tale with appearances by Iron Fist, Black Tarantula, White Tiger and the mysterious, badass and blind Master Izo. The team-up dynamic really makes this action-packed and psychological storyline a nice change of pace, yet continues the high quality readers have to come to expect from ol’ Hornhead’s title.

[REVIEW] ‘Amazing Spider-Man: CRIME AND PUNISHER’

From “Trade Show”…

SPIDER-MAN: CRIME AND PUNISHER

MARVEL

On the heels of the epic “New Ways to Die,” this Amazing Spider-Man trade features shorter tales about Flash Thompson, Spidey’s run-in with an amped-up Hammerhead and a team-up with the Punisher. Joe Kelly and Chris Bachalo’s Hammerhead story really shines with spot-on Spidey banter and kinetic action sequences, but that’s saying something as Zeb Wells and Paolo Riviera deliver an exciting Punisher tale and Marc Guggenheim and Barry Kitson keep things almost harshly grounded in reality as they relate Flash Thompson’s story covering his time in Iraq. Though the Hammerhead stuff seems to be the only part necessary for readers concerned with “Brand New Day’s” broad strokes, this trade has plenty to enjoy for any diehard fan of the Wallcrawler.
