August 2007 Comic Previews Picks

Super month this time around, so many must gets it’s like Christmas!

APOCALYPSE NERD #5: Yay, the latest in this new series from Peter Bagge, of Hate fame. I’ll pretty much get any Bagge book, and this post-apocalptic tale is great.

AWESOME INDIE SPINNER RACK ANTHOLOGY VOL 1 TP: Indie Spinner Rack is a very entertainint comic podcast that I listen to on accasion, and always enjoy. This is an anothology they have been putting together for a while. Some top notch indie talent on this one; I can’t wait to read it.

DYNAMO 5 VOL 1 POST NUCLEAR FAMILY TP: Cheap ($10) trade of the first 5 issues. I read the first issue and thought it was excellent. Thanks for the cheap eats Image.

HATE ANNUAL #7: Wow, 2 P. Bagge comics in the same previews! When It rains it pours! As an old school Hate fan, this is of course a must get.

MULTIPLE WARHEADS #2: Brandon Graham’s latest effort. I haven’t read the first issue yet, but it is one gorgeous looking package. Brandon is another must get for me.

SHOWCASE PRESENTS SUICIDE SQUAD VOL 1 TP: I’ve never read an issue of Suicide Squad, but is appears to get rave reviews all around. I’ll do my catching up via this cheap collection.

WET MOON VOL 3 GN: Seriously? New Peter Bagge, Brandon Graham, and Ross Campbell all in one month? What did I do to deserve this? Needless to say, if Ross makes it, I get it. Go read Abandoned if you haven’t; or the first 2 volumes in this alt romance tale. Previews at http://www.greenoblivion.com/comics.html

That’s the musts, here are the others I’m contemplating:

3 MINUTE SKETCHBOOK TP: Collection of 3 minute con sketches. I’m intrigued.

ATOMIC ROBO #1; NEOZOIC #1: New titles from a new publisher, the latter appeals to me more. Their third title got so-so reviews.

CRAWL SPACE XXXOMBIES #1: More zombie tales from Tony Moore and friends.

PROOF #1: Bigfoot joins the FBI to help search for other mysterious creatures. What’s with all these mythical creature comics? Perapanaughts, The Engimas, now this. I checked out a preview and it seemed pretty solid.

SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN VOL 1 TP: Cheap Conan trade. I don’t think I’ve ever read a Conan so this would be a good way to check it out. Especially for the Barry Windsor-Smith stuff,

Finder GN’s: All of the Finder trades are being re-released, so here’s your chance. Finder is a great series, I am missing a few that I need to pick up to complete my run.
