Comic Run 04-29-10

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Big haul today. Which was probably dumb since Free Comic Book Day is on Saturday. Ah well.

American Vampire #2
Okay, I’m pretty sure that the Stephen King story does fit pretty seamlessly into the main story, or it will. Still, I think I’m enjoying the main story more, what with her now left alone to figure out what being a vampire entails while her only potential teacher goes off to somewhere else. This is going to be fun.

Garrison #1
Near as I can tell, it’s the future and surveillance has rendered crime inert because the American populace has given up their right to privacy. And then there’s a guy named Garrison who has a mental hit list and is going around killing a large number of people. This is all I got so far.

The Great Unknown #3
At bloody last! I don’t know that it’s worth the wait because the top half of the book is essentially a tirade on piracy in the modern age and it takes it’s sweet time getting on with the story, but it’s still nice seeing another installment of it again. So, I’ll be seeing the next issue in another six months, right?

The Guild #2
Aw, she’s so cute with her finally figuring out the game and having it turn her into one of those “WoW is awesome but I still have a life” pre-zombie kids. It’s only a matter of time, though, young Codex. Also, I really am kind of starting to detest that psychologist she goes to. Just a little.

The Last Unicorn #1
Accurate to the book rather that the movie, I presume, but nothing actually happens in this issue. She is the last unicorn, she leaves her forest and meets a schizophrenic butterfly who tells her about the red bull in no certain terms. It’s, like, four pages of story. Maybe six. The art is very pretty, though.

Song of Saya #3
That was actually a pretty fun mini overall. I’m a little confused by a couple of the elements, but honestly, it’s probably because I haven’t let the story digest yet. It was delightfully eerie the whole way through and the question of reality was always there. And brain surgery is still terrifying.
