Review: R. R. H. #1

R.R.H. #1 - 1First Comics

R.R.H. aka Red Riding Hood comes blazing to life in the all-new comic book from 1First Comics, written by Orlando Harding. Sydney Woodman, waking up on her seventeenth birthday, is soon to have her world turned upside down and things will never be the same.

Sydney upon awaking is surprised, by nothing. Wow, her parents are not making a big deal about her seventh birthday, oh well just another typical birthday…until she leaves for school and finds she is now the proud owner of the bug she has been wanting.  Her parents surprise her with the new car and Sydney realizes it is not just another typical birthday as she happily drives to school, but little does she know this is not the end of birthday surprises for Sydney, she is about to find out who she truly is.

Sydney returns after school and a day of celebrating her seventh with friends. Across the street from her home, as Sydney is exiting her car she has feeling that someone is watching her and then she hears him “Blood Moon Hoods Doom.” Freaked out Sydney rushes into her house and awakens her mother, who has been sleeping on the sofa. This is where her parents explain to her that she is a descendant of Red Riding Hood. She is given a protective hood, a katana and a special gun. In a great bit, her mother explains to her that this is what they had her train as a hunter and as an expert shooter for her whole life. She remarks, “I thought we were just rednecks!” I absolutely love that line!

Yes, there are such things as big bad wolves…werewolves to be exact, and they are looking for a little ancestral payback to Red’s bloodline for centuries of annihilation. As she learns more about her heritage and the legacy that she is destined to inherit, a hidden set of powers are awakened in her and prove to be a skill set she will need to survive the horrors that sinister forces have in store for her. She is a slayer with a sword and she is not afraid to use it.

R.R.H. #1 is a great read; Harding has created an intriguing world for Sydney and the destroyers. I especially liked the little bit about how the big bad wolves really love to eat cats, so the Woodman’s keep buying cats to work sort of as decoys/canary in a coalmine. It is morbid but pragmatic and I love it.

You can find R.R.H. #1 at White Dragon Comics, the best comic book shop on the internet for comic book buyers!

Review: Starve # 1

Starve #1 - Image Comics

Image Comics release of Starve #1 had me in quandary, the title sounded interesting enough and I could not imagine where this story would go, would it be twisted tale of horror or a story of people who were starved for god knows what reason?  What I found was not what I was thinking, it was a lot better! Starve is a well-written, intriguing story that is going to get really messy.

Starve starts off somewhere in South Asia and our main man here, Gavin Cruikshank, is celebrating winning a kickboxing event, when he is approached for an autograph and a whole lot more.

It seems Gavin is the star of a reality cooking show called Starve, the number one show world-wide, watched by everyone from the poor to the very wealthy. After leaving his show for a walkabout, the popular Starve fell into the hands of a rival chef; and his money and possessions in the hands of a bitter wife.

A representative from the network shows up in Asia and demands that Cruikshank return to the States to fulfill his television contract. As soon as the chef returns and realizes what he's left behind is worth fighting for, he must crawl his way back through the mess he'd made to take back what is his.

Can a reality television show chef that has to prove he’s alive and complete an entire season of his own show make it? Find out in Starve #1

Brain Wood is the writer and Danijel ZeZelj along with David Stewart are the artists. Woods writing is right on target and the artwork supports Wood’s story. Starve is a great story and left me wanting to go out and grab issue two, well as soon as it’s released.

As always you can find the latest issue of Starve at White Dragon Comics.

Review: Big Man Plans # 1 and 2

Big Man Plans - an Image Central Real World Mini-Series 

Image Comics releases an all-new chilling story of revenge and recourse. Written and drawn by Eric Powell with a story assist from Tim Wiesch, Big Man Plans is the story of young boy born with a handicap, and this handicap will shape his future, lead him down a road of terror and horrors no-one person should ever have to endure. This handicap makes him the man he is, a Dwarf with a chip on his shoulder, and a man, a man who has been stripped of everything, family, pride, self-esteem and his home, a dwarf no-one will ever forget.

Big Man, as his father called him, and his sister lived on a farm with their daddy, Big Man’s mother left when he was child. Loathing the fact that she gave birth to a dwarf, she went, devastating Big Man’s father and landing the first blow. Soon after his father was killed in a freak accident. Second blow. Big Man and his sister were sent to an orphanage where his sister was adopted, but not the dwarf. Third blow. Beaten on daily basis Big Man waited for the day he could get out. When his day arrives he heads to the army recruiting station, only to be turned down. Fourth blow. After being denied from the army a devastated Big Man meets the man that changes his life, the man that would make him a cold-blooded, hard-ass, one man assassination team!

Big Man Plans is a dark heart wrenching story of struggle that grabbed me from page one and didn’t let go until the end. I would like to point out that this story in not for children, full of violence, nudity and profanity. The violence is graphic, not for the weak of heart. Big Man Plans moves along a good pace, developing the story quite quickly.

Overall a great read and I highly recommend this for our older readers. You can find the latest issues of this four-part min series at White Dragon Comics.

Review: The Ride: Southern Gothic #1

The Ride: Southern Gothic #1 - 12-Gauge Comics

The Ride: Southern Gothic has been sitting around for a while, when I first picked it up I thought it sounded cool and could not wait to read it, but for some reason I forgot about? When I went into the comic book shop, on one of my scouring the shelves for something new to read, I spotted The Ride: Southern Gothic again and light bulb, I remembered I had new stuff, sort of to read and I rushed off in excitement.

The Ride: Southern Gothic, released by 12-Gauge Press is probably one of the best anthologies I have read in quite some time. Ride contains three completely different stories, but each story centers around one hell of a cool car! Murder, mayhem and sex, yep it’s all in there folks! The Ride, drawn in black and white, sets the tone of each story and enhances the mood.

The first story, Perfect Circle, was somewhat violent; it starts at a swinger’s party, they pull a keychain and follow the owner of said keychain a, well you know what for, and soon are psycho killer, who murders the innocent woman gets his karmic payback and it involves that beloved Camaro!

The second short story, Money Shot, contains wanton sex, a man who robbed a crime boss and the woman who picked him up alongside the road. This one has a great ending!

Lastly the third story, Paid in Full part one. When a Dixie Mafia boss decides that, a man’s girlfriend will be sufficient payment for his debt things heat up! Paid in Full was my favorite out of the three!

I highly recommend The Ride: Southern Gothic to our older readers, definitely not for kids and maybe not woman, although I loved it. The Ride is reminiscent of Grindhouse Comics, but with hillbillies, guns, mullets and ho’s. If your looking for some guilty pleasure, pick up a copy of The Ride its a great read and a lot of fun!

Series Review: Wayward

Wayward - Image Comics Central Fantasy Series

Image Comics semi-new ongoing comic book series, Wayward, written by Jim Zub has been catching my attention lately, the story piqued my interest, and the cover art is quite compelling, with a distinctive Manga look and feel.

Rori, our soon to be hero is very unique, half-Japanese and half-Irish with a head full of red hair. In issue one Rori, who comes from a broken family (divorce) is on her way to live in Japan with her mother, who apparently is a very busy woman, always rushing off to work. Rori has a few days before school starts and instead of resting after her long plane ride as her mother suggests, Rori heads out to explore her new surroundings. While exploring, Rori takes a turn down a strange street following a cat, which soon turns into many, many cats and some bad guys who for some reason do not see the cats, and then the really strange happens; the bad guys are really humanoid turtles and their not friendly! In addition, Rori herself seems to have special abilities that are slowly revealed over the course of the issue, but, in true coming-of-age fashion, she does not know what the heck is going on.

Jim Zub brings readers a truly unique story of this young woman coming of age struggling with her family dynamics, a new city, a new school and no friends. I really enjoyed the first issue and look forward to the next one. Join me in this unique read, I guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised.

Wayward, issues # 1 through  # 6, are available now at White Dragon Comics, the best comic book store in the Poconos and on the Web.

Series Review: Zombie Tramp

Zombie Tramp - Action Lab Entertainment

I have been passing  by Zombie Tramp for a couple of months now, which is highly unusual for me, being a huge Zombie fan, but I finally broke down and picked up issue one and two, soon after reading the first two issues, I was hooked and rushed out to get the rest of the run.

Zombie Tramp is an impressive young lady who kicks the crap out of bad guys! Our undead heroine, Janey Belle, is a former Hollywood call girl, turned zombie. Janey is not your run of the mill zombie though; she can be killed, but she cannot completely die. 

Unlike the zombies in many stories today, when Janey is shot or takes one to the head, her body dies but her soul does not. Janey’s soul has the ability to jump to another body of her choice - preferably female bodies, since male bodies makes her sick. When Zombie Tramp makes the jump she retains the host body’s appearance at first, but that is short-lived as Janey’s original, and well-endowed, nature takes control. In issue three, there a few panels devoted to Janey’s transformation, particularly her chest. Artists Jason Martin and T.M. Chu made me chuckle with the sound effects that accompanied the “breast enlargement”. Hilarious!

Then there is Elvis. That’s right; a fat undead Elvis impersonator who is gaga for Zombie Tramp and will stop at nothing to get her. But the question is, does he really love her or does he just want to steal her ability to jump bodies? In addition to the body-snatching, Zombie Tramp can also absorb skills from people whose brains she consumes, which makes for many more fun scenarios.

Zombie Tramp is not at all what I thought it was going to be; I guess the title is what threw me off. But I have to say, I really enjoyed Zombie Tramp. It’s a great read and a lot of fun. The artwork is well suited to the story, consistent and understandable. Although it is a horror comic, Zombie Tramp does not contain over the top gore, except maybe the thing involving Elvis’s intestines and a helicopter rotor, but it’s cartoon gore and not that bad!

Check out Zombie Tramp today! Available now at White Dragon Comics.

Review: No Mercy # 1

No Mercy # 1 - Image Comics

No Mercy is a current Image Central comic book series, written by Alex de Campi, with art by Carla Speed McNeil and Jenn Manley Lee.

In the text page at the end of the first issue of No Mercy, Alex de Campi say’s she feels like a fraud to be hanging out at Image Comics with top comic book writers the likes of Brian K. Vaughn and Rick Remender. I can assure you she is anything but a fraud. Alex de Campi delivers!

No Mercy opens right in the thick of things, joining our intrepid crew of college freshman, along with their adult advisors, Alice and Murray, and their local guide, Sister Ines. There are a lot of characters to meet in the first few pages, but Alex manages to give each one their own unique voice and personality, Although, we learn the most about the more talkative and extroverted members of the cast we still get at least a glimpse into the nature of each individual. I’m sure that readers will recognize many of the character “types” depicted here: The insincere rich boy, the womanizing frat boy, the wide-eyed Midwesterner, the tech-addicted naïf, and the “quiet kid”, all remind me of people I have known in the past.

Alice and Murray have arrived at the tiny Mataguey airport, with their crew of twenty plus eighteen and nineteen-year-olds to build schools in a local village. They quickly embark on a ten-hour ride aboard a bus of questionable road-worthiness, joined by Sister Ines and, a last minute, reluctant addition, the Sister’s Uncle (by marriage). Not long into their journey disaster strikes, and this is where our story truly begins. How will a group of naïve and privileged teenagers survive in a harsh landscape surrounded by unknown dangers of every kind, with no supplies, no weapons and no clue?

Alex de Campi’s story readily illustrates how quickly situations can go from bad to worse to just plain awful in only a matter of minutes. I for one cannot wait to see what she throws at these kids next, but I do know that she has promised that their troubles have only begun, and will eventually reach biblical proportions.

The art by Carla Speed McNeil and Jenn Manley Lee is perfectly suited to the tone and tenor of this tale. The cast members are easy to identify, the action is clear and understandable. The artwork enhances and moves the story forward, even on pages with little or no dialogue.

As the tagline says, if you like seeing teenagers die, the pick up a copy of No Mercy today, at White Dragon Comics.

Review: The Harvester #1

The Harvester #1 - Legendary Comics

Harvester # 1 hit comic book shelves recently and the name was the first to catch my attention and then the cover, the cover is what sucked me in. Harvester #1 is a good read, a comic book that will resonate with fans of Evil Ernie and Ghost Rider

The opening scene sets the stage for what readers know will follow; Chaos, Death and one Hell of a story. Harvester starts in a dive bar, with outlaw bikers and a well-dressed man in a suit, cut to new scene, a classroom, a few students and a speaker/researcher studying urban legend, specifically, The Harvester.  The next character we meet is a journalist turned private investigator, digging into none other than The Harvester.

Harvester reminds me of Ghost Rider, the way he is killing bad guys and taking them back to hell with him. His personality reminds me of Evil Ernie, wise-assed, arrogant and really mean. Comparisons aside this story is unique unto itself. The ultimate goal of the Harvester and his ally is unclear as of yet, but more is sure to be revealed in issue #2 and I anticipate enjoying the next issue even more.

White Dragon Comics has The Harvester #1 in stock now, plus many similar comic books for your reading enjoyment. Check them all out today.

Review: The Kitchen #1

The Kitchen #1 - Vertigo Comics

What’s a loan-shark’s wife to do when her husband and his whole crew get thrown in prison? How are she and the other wives supposed to survive? Who will put food on the table? And what happens to their men’s rackets? Writer Ollie Masters answer those questions, and more, in his new hit from Vertigo Comics, “The Kitchen.”

Jimmy Brennan and his crew were the toughest bastards in Hell’s Kitchen and their wives were well taken care of, never in need of money or want of anything, but, as we all know, life has a way of taking twist and turns that can leave a person unsure of their future. And, as life goes for these outlaw’s wives, they are soon taken out of their element; the easy life is over; the gang has been sent to the big house. With mouths to feed and no money, the wives come up with a plan to take over “the business”. No longer able to take a back seat, the women are in charge – and the “Kitchen” will never be the same again.

Ollie Masters takes a step away from his usual stories and really nails this one; no superheroes or magic lassos here, just ordinary people, in this case three strong women that need to support their families. Masters successfully conveys the desperation of the wives, without their prospective others to support them. Artists Ming Doyle and Jordie Bellaire transport readers to bygone decade. From the style of clothing, to the hairdos and the cars everything shouts 1970’s! Doyle and Bellaire’s artwork enhances Masters’ tale and gives readers a perfect depiction of Hell’s Kitchen during those tumultuous times.

The Kitchen is a good read. If you’re looking for something a little different this is the comic book for you. You can pick up the latest copy of the Kitchen at White Dragon Comics, on-line or in our brick-and-mortar store.

Series Review: Oddly Normal

Oddly Normal - Image Comics for Kids

Oddly Normal, a new comic book written for children, is one of the best comic books to hit shelves in recent months! Knowing it was intended for children; I picked up a copy to see what age-group it was best suited too, and was blown away. This is one heck of a great story!

Oddly Normal is the story of a typical teenager; picked on by everyone, hating her life and wishing her strange parents would just “leave her alone.” Oddly Normal (this is also the character’s name) is a classic set-up involving misunderstood youth, something to which anyone who has gone through middle-school can certainly relate. Oddly just wants to have a normal life and today Oddly gets her wish. Her life is going to take a very strange turn indeed. What Oddly is soon to learn is that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Writer and artist, Otis Frampton conveys the turmoil and dramatics of the teenage years exceptionally well. Oddly’s depression and inward focus that comes with being young is portrayed so well that readers start to develop a sympathy for Oddly, for we have all experienced this as young adults. Frampton’s use of color and tones enhances the plot, adding to the sense of Oddly’s despair and misery.

This is one of the best all-ages comic to come out in quite some time. It is easy to read and people of all ages, especially, “tweeners” will fall in love with Oddly Normal. Pick up a copy of the great all-ages comic book, Oddly Normal, today.

Review: Wolf Moon

Wolf Moon - Vertigo Comics

Wolf Moon is a new six-part mini-series that will leave your skin crawling and an overwhelming sense of dread, and fear with the rising of the next full moon. Wolf Moon is unlike any horror comic book you have read in the past, the artwork alone will leave you with a chill up and down your spine, while the writing from Cullen Bunn will draw you in, and leave you screaming for more.

Cullen Bunn’s Wolf Moon gives readers something new, this viscous Werewolf does not follow folklore; it is not born of a curse, but a never ending spreading-disease going from host to host. Bunn’s Werewolf seeks a host, a victim that can be used for one night of mayhem and a release of pure evil. The Werewolf, a thrill-seeker uses these victims, them discards them leaving the terrible memories of the blood-lust, their bodies committed the night before.

Jeremy Haun’s artwork is impressive in Wolf Moon, drawn in visceral colors lacking the deep shadows and dark coloring generally associated with these types of horror comics. Rather than using lots of negative space, Haun casts an unwavering light on all the gruesome details.

If horror is your thing than this comic book is for you, join Dillion, the latest victim of the werewolf disease, on his quest to not only find, but destroy this awful disease. Dillion will take you on journey of despair, remorse and vengeance unlike you have seen before.

Review: Hero Cats of Stellar City

Hero Cats of Stellar City - Action Lab

Some of the best comic books today aimed at young audiences are being put on pull list of comic book fans of all ages because they are so well written. A good example of this is Hero Cats of Stellar City, a story about cats that have “natural” talents, which should not be underestimated. Hero Cats, a group of special kitty’s that work together to protect their city and most importantly their families from all the things that our human superheroes are to be busy to notice. These highly skilled housecats are not only super creative, but super cute and that’s the beauty of this comic book, children love animals and this is cuteness draws them in, then the story comes next, written in way that not only holds the attention of young readers, but readers of all-ages will be enthralled also.

Hero Cats of Stellar City #1 introduces fans to cast of characters and their natural talents. All of the cute kitty’s here have a unique talent, ranging from Rocco’s muscle, Cassiopeia ability to read human writing, Bell the mind reader, Rocket the fastest cat in town, who thinks he’s from outer space and their leader Ace, a tempered soldier. There are a couple more interesting characters, Galaxy Man and his daughter Cosmic Girl, they are part of Cassiopeia’s family and are human superheroes.

Dark Horse Presents, The Premier Comic Book Anthology

Dark Horse Presents - Dark Horse Comics

For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted more, more bang for my buck. In 1986 Dark Horse Comics gave me that bang with the release of their first published comic book, “Dark Horse Presents.” This new comic book series was an anthology, a collection of short stories and serials, giving comic book fans more bang for their buck. The stories printed within were not reprints, but original works presented for the very first time. Each issue contained several stand-alone stories plus installment of a few serials. The serials came and went with at least one new serial starting every month. Both the short pieces and the serials encompassed every possible genre and style of comic book storytelling.

Dark Horse Presents has been the launch pad for many characters that have become icons to comic book fans. Concrete, Sin City, Hellboy and Next Men, are just a few of the titles Dark Horse Presents has successfully spun-off.

The original Dark Horse Presents series ended in 2000, but fans wanted more, so Dark Horse Presents returned in 2011 with all-new stories and a new, square-bound, 80-page format. The second Dark Horse Presents series ran for 3 years and introduced such memorable stories as Concrete Park, Saint George and the revamped versions of “Ghost” and “X”.

In 2014, the third volume of Dark Horse Presents began with a return to the original 40-page, staple-bound format, now in full color. Once again, Dark Horse Presents did not let fans down. the leading off this new series was none other than a brand-new “Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot” story from Geoff Darrow. Continuing their tradition of bringing the crème of the comic book world to their fans, the list of contributing writers and artists reads like a “Who’s Who” in the comic book industry and every issue contains something for everyone. 

Dark Horse Presents should be on pull list of all fans that enjoy comic books. Month after month this series continues to bring the very best in writing and art!

Classic Cartoon Comic Books

Classic cartoons have always held a special place in my heart, since childhood bringing a smile to my face. I can remember waking up on Saturday mornings and rushing to the kitchen, grabbing my cereal, then running into the living room to watch my favorite cartoons.

One of my all-time favorite classic cartoons was Looney Tunes. Looney Tunes is now available in print as a comic book and just as hilarious as ever! All the characters are portrayed, from Foghorn Leghorn to Wile E. Coyote to Bugs Bunny and many more.

One of the best things about these comic books is not only the fact that they are humorous, but they are good, clean, humorous fun that can be shared with everyone, including young children!  I love comic books of all genres, but having one that can be shared with my grandchildren is priceless. When I read, “I say… I say that’s a joke son….laugh it up boy” in my best Foghorn Leghorn voice, it always makes my grandson laugh.

The coolest part of these classic cartoons is that, not only are they great a great source of entertainment, but they are educational also. While you are entertaining your children or grandchildren with comic books, they are learning. Children become engrossed in the stories of their favorite cartoon characters latest adventures, and want to read more. They actually wait anxiously for the next issue of their favorite title to hit the shelves of comic book store.

Librarians and other educators have taken notice and schools all over the country are beginning to incorporate comic books and graphic novels onto their library shelves. There are schools that have begun using comic books as part of the classroom curriculum, finding comic books to be an excellent gateway to start children down the literacy path.

Regardless of the reason for reading classic cartoon comic books, educational or enjoyment White Dragon Comics strives to bring readers a vast array of humorous, kid friendly comic books. Take your time and browse our site with your children or grandchildren today.
