Take a Joke (Angry Youth Comix Vol. 3) Video Preview

Kat & Ignatz 1919-1921 - lang erwartet und nun endlich vorrätig

Kat & Ignatz 1919-1921: A Kind, Belevolent and Amiable Brick TP

Preis 22,95 Euro

As Fantagraphics’ ambitious plan to reprint every single Sunday Krazy Kat page created by George Herriman for close to three decades (this being the penultimate book) careens toward the finish line, this volume features another three years’ worth of Sunday strips — over 150 little masterpieces by the greatest cartoonist of all time, featuring the greatest comic-strip love triangle of all time: “kat,” “mice” and “pupp.” Each page is a hilarious, poetic masterpiece crackling with verbal wit and graphic brilliance. Those were the days…!

In the introductory essay, editor Bill Blackbeard chronicles Krazy Kat’s ascent from its earliest days as a tiny pendant for Herriman’s earlier strips The Dingbat Family and The Family Upstairs to its own full feature. A second major article in this volume is Bob Callahan’s “Geo. Herriman’s Los Angeles,” a fascinating look at Herriman’s pre-Krazy Kat days as a journalist/illustrator, covering such things as a Mexican bullfight (Herriman was appalled), the opening of a new “bums’ jail” (Herriman’s sympathies were clearly with the vagrants), and UFO sightings — all accompanied by Herriman’s virtuoso cartoons, of course.

As usual, the cover is designed by Chris Ware, featuring a striking two-color look that will set this latest volume apart from the previous eleven. (Fantagraphics)

Gwendolyn "Gwen" Dylan is a 20-something gravedigger in an eco-friendly cemetery. Once a month she must eat a human brain to keep from losing her own memories, but in the process she becomes consumed with the thoughts and personality of the dead person – until she eats her next brain. Gwen sets out to fulfill the dead person's last request, solve a crime or right a wrong. Our zombie girl detective is joined by her best friend, Eleanor, who happens to be a swinging '60s ghost, a posse of paintball-blasting vampires, a smitten were-dog and a hot but demented mummy.

Stumptown Vol. 01 HC

Preis 26,95 Euro

Dex is the proprietor of Stumptown Investigations, and a fairly talented P.I. Unfortunately, she's less adept at throwing dice than solving cases. Her recent streak has left her beyond broke - she's into the Confederated Tribes of the Wind Coast for 18 large. But maybe Dex's luck is about to change. Sue-Lynne, head of the Wind Coast's casino operation, will clear Dex' debt if she can locate Sue-Lynne's missing granddaughter. But is this job Dex's way out of the hole or a shove down one much much deeper? (Oni Press) 

Venom by Daniel Way - The Ultimate Collection TP

In the northern regions of Canada, he sets his sights on a short, hairy guy with a bad temper: the X-Men's Wolverine! And as the action moves to New York City, Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four are forced to play damage control as TWO bloodthirsty Venom creatures cause havoc! Enter Eddie Brock! Collecting VENOM #1-18. (Marvel)

Umsonst

Zum Wochenende eingetroffen: Die neuen Plastik-Tragetaschen von Panini! Auf Wunsch tüten wir die gekauften Comics in eine dieser praktischen und stabilen Blickfänger ein:

Die MARVEL - & DC - UNIVERSE "Event"-Serien in der Übersicht: FEAR ITSELF & FLASHPOINT

...wie inzwischen in (fast) jedem Jahr gibt's "Mega Events" innerhalb der fiktiven Universen von MARVEL und DC COMICS...

Hier die Listen der bisher angekündigten Titel, die der geneigte Fan / Sammler / Komplettist kaufen und lesen sollte:

MARVEL COMICS:

"Fear Itself" startete kürzlich mit dem "Prologue" Oneshot; alle weiteren Titel erscheinen ab April / Mai. (Achtung: Marvel listet z.Zt. jeden Monat neue, zusätzliche "FI"- tie-ins, die dann erst im Laufe des Sommers starten werden!)

FEAR ITSELF # 1 - 7 LS (Hauptserie; Start im April!)

FEAR ITSELF: Home Front # 1 - 7 LS

FEAR ITSELF: Prologue Oneshot (bereits erschienen!)

FEAR ITSELF: Sins Past # 1 Oneshot

FEAR ITSELF: Spider-Man # 1 - 3 LS

Spider-Man FEAR ITSELF Oneshot

FEAR ITSELF: Spotlight Oneshot

FEAR ITSELF: Youth In Revolt # 1 - 6 LS

FEAR ITSELF: Black Widow # 1 Oneshot

FEAR ITSELF: Deadpool # 1 - 3 LS

FEAR ITSELF: The Deep # 1 - 4 LS

FEAR ITSELF: Fearsome Four # 1 - 4 LS


FEAR ITSELF wird außerdem zahlreiche "Crossover" in reguläre Marvel-Serien haben (wie etwa "Thor", "Captain America", "Iron Man", "Journey Into Mystery" usw.) Wer der Storyline also komplett folgen möchte, sollte vorher unbedingt in den monatlichen "Marvel- Previews" schauen, um evtl. "FI"- tie-ins zusätzlich vorzubestellen, damit ihm kein Heft entgeht!

c) 2011 DC / WB

DC UNIVERSE:

Im Gegensatz zur marveligen Konkurrenz, wird es bei DCs "FLASHPOINT" KEINE Crossover zu laufenden regulären Serien geben (d.h., wer "keinen Bock" auf's DC - Event hat, kann seine regulären Lieblingsserien ohne Unterbrechungen weiterlesen... wie schon bei "Blackest Night")

Allerdings gibt es 2 kleine Ausnahmen:

Booster Gold (ab # 44)

Flash (bis zur # 12 - Final Issue!)

"Booster Gold" wird für ca. ein halbes Jahr wichtiger Bestandteil der "Flashpoint"-Stories...
und der reguläre "Flash" Titel ist bereits Bestandteil (quasi der "Prolog"), bis die Serie dann mit Heft # 12 eingestellt wird!

Einen Blick wert sein wird DCs diesjähriger Beitrag zum US- "Free Comic Book Day 2011"; das Gratis-Heft wird neben einem Nachdruck der "Green Lantern" Origin auch eine Preview zum FLASHPOINT enthalten... Die "Flashpoint"- Storyline startet regulär Anfang Mai mit dem Erscheinen des ersten Heftes (eine Woche nach dem US- "FCBD 2011"!), alle weiteren Titel kommen dann ab Mai / Juni zum Start...
