Brubaker and Phillips latest Criminal work: this time it's a OGN named "My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies". It is tied to an earlier story in Criminal, but can easily be read as a standalone.

That is interesting. I picked up a Graphics novel by them for subway reading... "Kill or be Killed" over time you can burn out on Brubaker, as one title pours into the next wih little change... But the quality is always there. |

Picked up a dozen trades at Ollie's today, a mix of classic and modern stuff, but since the trades are fairly recent releases, I'm posting here rather than the classics section. three volumes of Constantine...  a Wonder Woman War of the Gods collection that has the mini plus the relevant issues of the WW series, the first volume of Peter David's Supergirl, and a collection of the tie-in comic to the Legion animated series...  a volume of Ben Percy's GreenArrow, the first volume of Gene Luen Yang's Superman with JRJR on art, and a volume of Birds of Prey collecting the first 11 issues of the first ongoing...  and a collection of the introduction of Tim Drake, a volume of Brubaker's Batman, and an Oni book by Cullen Bunn, the premise a supernatural feud between Hatfield/McCoy like families...  all for under $60. -M |

Acquired today, from the artist (2 days prior to official release): Got it signed, and everything. Picked this up from the shop and read it this morning. Good but not Bunn's best. Not sure if this is part of a larger story, but some of the characters felt a little threadbare in this story. The art was magnificent though. -M |

Some odd 20 years ago Alien 3 was an old movie (I remember I caught it on one of those thematic re-run marathons), and it wasn't the bad movie in it's own right but it seamed as if they skipped #3 and went straight to #4 (and labeled it #3). Something was missing, most notably the android, Bishop, had to have some recordings of events (plus they could have him rebuilt and have the same actor play the role). The kid and the soldier died off screen and that was it. Sigourney Weaver stranded on a prion-planet.
Fast forward few years, a friend of mine telling me - yeah the original script was re-written record number of times, they somehow pulled it of etc.
He even bought one of the 'middle' drafts. There it was not a prison, rather a remote planet-monastery.
December 2018 - William Gibson's Alien 3
I'll be waiting for the trade, but this could be interesting. And it ain't the monks, nor the prisoners - this is the original synopsis:
After the deadly events of the film Aliens, the spaceship Sulaco carrying the sleeping bodies of Ripley, Hicks, Newt, and Bishop is intercepted by the Union of Progressive Peoples. What the UPP forces don't expect is another deadly passenger that is about to unleash chaos between two governmental titans intent on developing the ultimate Cold War weapon of mass destruction.
So by chance encounter UPP scouts find the ship-wrack, go aboard and barely escape vicious alien-attack. They manage to snatch Bishop (or what's left of it) on their way back.

The Wrong Earth #5
A fun title which takes an interesting turn with this issue as Grim and Gritty Dragonfly attempts to convince his partner that he is, in fact, his Pop Art counterpart, while his other self attempts to do the same as he tries to recruit a new sidekick. That latter moment with Dragonflyman presenting the youth he's just rescued his own brightly colored Stinger outfit in total earnestness can't help but feel unsettling in light of how dark and twisted this world is - the way that hope and optimism would be like a cancer in this world is touched upon in the back up but is better illustrated in the main. As for the back up, I appreciate the effort spent showing how the dour and dark Dragonfly once shared more in common with his 60's styled doppleganger than he would later his future self. When comics generally update their characters for the 90's, they ignore most of what's come before - not so here. Unfortunately, there's only one more issue to go, though that's now being advertised as a 'Season Finale' as opposed to 'Final Issue'. Not a term I've heard applied to comics before, but it sounds as though the success of this title means there'll be more on the way.

It's been pretty good so far, I'm hoping Ripley wakes up soon though |
