Comic books. They’re lovely, aren’t they? The interaction of words and pictures, the way they’re considered sub-literate so reading them is borderline rebellious.
Welcome to This Week in Comics, where every day is a comic book. And only some days are sh*tty.
Monday – First Issues Nola #1
(Chris Gorak/Pierluigi Cothran/Damian Couceiro)
Boom! Studios
I read Nola last week and it has the potential to be pretty awesome–a pulpy revenge tale set in post-Katrina New Orleans. If it stops being as decompressed as the first issue and really amps up the revenging upon The Man, then I’ll declare it Comic of the Year. Unless I remember other things I loved more.
Tuesday – New Manga Day Oishinbo Volume 6: The Joy Of Rice/Black Jack Volume 8
(Tetsu Kariya/Akira Hanasaki)(Osamu Tezuka)
