Ron Marz, Nelson Blake III and Ryan Sook discuss MAGDALENA

via The Blog From Another World Top Cow's Magdalena series follows a line of female warriors who can see into the human heart and give them the chance to redeem themselves–or feel the wrath of her Spear of Destiny!

Geek Goggle Reviews: Incredible Hulk #611

Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Incredible Hulk #611 Marvel Comics Pak, Pelletier, Miki & D'Armata The latest issue of the Incredible Hulk is the big payoff for a storyline that has been running for about a year now. The story is more than just the World War Hulks story that has been running through both Hulk titles for a few months now. Really, the story has been Banner's relationship with his son, Skaar, and this issue brings about a new status quo for them. It's a very loud and smashing issue that does manage to link up other character and historical elements to make the issue more than just some fighting.

Geek Goggle Reviews: Hellboy The Storm #2

Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Hellboy: The Storm #2 of 3 Dark Horse Comics Mignola & Fegredo On the surface this issue is just like many other Hellboy comics. Hellboy fights a giant of some kind while a demon or two have a long chat about how the world is going to end and what Hellboy's role may or may not be in the events. While this issue may contain those elements it also provides something we hardly ever see in the form of a Hellboy flashback to when he was a boy. This short sequence sets this book apart of many other Hellboy stories and really puts the very core of his character to the test for the reader to judge. This is an excellent issue

Geek Goggle Reviews: Parker The Man With The Getaway Face

Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Richard Stark's Parker: The Man With the Getaway Face IDW Comics Cooke Darwyn Cooke continues his adaptation of Richard Stark's catalogue of books about the character called Parker with The Man With the Getaway Face. Unlike the first adaptation, The Hunter, this book is more of a traditional comic book rather than a full graphic novel length. Despite being only twenty four pages, this story is a complete one and delivers the same level of violence in a criminal setting, just in an accelerated and concise fashion. It's an excellent read because it captures everything about the character Parker from the Hunter while telling a compelling and interesting story. At two bucks this is a can't miss opportunity to jump on board of this amazing character study that Cooke is taking the reader on. Read more
