FLAVOR OF THE MONTH!

Well,There was'nt as many books to choose from being as I started this blog in mid October.The flavor of the month award goes to "Students of the Unusual" for Oct.This is a well packaged book with vibrant color & has a wide variety of art stlyes that I feel complement the entire feel of the comic.Being that it is now Halloween,this would be a perfect read for those looking for some twisted & strange stories.Have a Happy Halloween & see you in November!

-These guy's & gal's were in the booth beside me at Hero's Con in Charlotte,N.C. this past June.Terry Cronin has a great horror comics anthology going on here.This issue features 6 different weird & twisted short stories.Each story is also done by a different artist with unique styles that certainly gives us more variety."Tatoo love magic", "The Devil & Mr. Jones" & "Entombed" are my 3 favorites in this issue.See for yourself.Check it out at www.studentsoftheunusual.com.

REASONS I SHOULD NOT BE ON A TALK SHOW.

STATIC PRESS/$1.00.Mini-comic,b&w,16 pages.MATURE READERS.
-This one is also from Static Press.It is drawn by Jason Axtell who playes himself & he gives us plenty of reasons why he should'nt be on a talk show.Pretty original idea & as you can see from the cover,he pokes fun at a certain talk show host.The things he say's are sometimes crude & sometimes shocking,but you will definatly laugh.

CHRONICLE # 1

STATIC PRESS/standard comic size,color cover,B&W interior,36 pages,$3.00 .www.staticstudios.org.
-This is a collection of stories & illustrations from artist B.R. Phillips.There is some great black & white art work in here using what seems to be ink wash & white acrylic.He is also able to change his art style to fit each of the 3 stories inside the book.This one is worth picking up if you enjoy finding that indy talent who thinks outside the box.
