All Good Things Come To An End In ‘Green Wake’ #10

Sad as I may be, Green Wake is coming to its final issue next week. This series has been nothing short of phenomenal in every regard since the very first issue, and it’s a shame to see it end. The series landed the number one spot on my Best Comics of 2011 list, and I now feel it belongs among my favorite comics ever. I’ve been ranting and raving about how amazing this book is since last year, so after next week, I promise I’ll stop. But for the love of god(s) and all that is holy, you’ve gotta read this book. Wiebe is a master storyteller, and Rossmo’s art is top notch. check out the monstrous 9-page preview after the jump. Read on for the skinny…

EXCLUSIVE: Justice League Dark #6 Preview

When the New 52 were announced, one of the most enigmatic titles of the load was Justice League Dark. It was a complete mystery as to how such misfit, lone-wolf style, heroes were going to band together to form a functioning team. With the first arc in the bag it’s become certain that this is a team the DCU needs, they offer a break from the standard hero books, they offer a glimpse into a dark, and insanely entertaining world.

Then again, it’s hard to go wrong when a series stars Deadman, Constatine, Zatanna, and Shade. Milligan has been killing the writing, while Janin’s artwork perfectly compliments the haunting tones of the script. If you haven’t been reading this bad boy, now is the perfect spot to hop on board. Check out the Bloody-disgusting exclusive 4-page preview of Justice League Dark #6 courtesy of your friends at DC Comics. Read on for the skinny…

Review: Creepy #7

Uncle Creepy has done it again! That sounded less dirty in my head, but nonetheless, he has. The 7th issue of Creepy has just dropped, with their usual brilliant hybrid of a homage to vintage scares, paired with a few laughs. This masterfully illustrated black-and-white anthology gives a subtle tip of the hat to classic horror comics, and provides a dripping sarcasm at which one can’t help but chuckle.

Preview: I, Vampire #5

Fialkov and Sorrentino’s I, Vampire has been getting a lot of attention lately, being praised, not only as one of the best vampire books, but one of the best comics of the New 52 period. I couldn’t agree more. This is an incredibly bleak, action packed story, and now that it’s mingling with the DCU, it’s only getting better. This ain’t your momma’s vampire story, it’s a grim one that’s not afraid to deal with dark subject matter. Check out the preview from DC Comics below!

Preview: Green Wake #9

It’s becoming increasingly hard to talk about Green Wake because of how amazing and dark it is. Sadly, this week brings on the second to last issue of the series, but I have no doubt that Green Wake will continue to be read for years to come. If you’re not reading this series, do so before I explode. Check the sweet preview below full of goodies and creatures crawling your way.

Preview: Creepy #7

Creepy is one of those books that goes largely unnoticed, even by horror fans, and it’s a big shame. This anthology collects some of the most outright disturbing stories out there with throwbacks to classic horror tales. Creepy is an anthology every one of you should be reading, it pays it’s dues to the past and continues to bring bloody goodness into the present with some shocking shorts. The black and white artwork captures the mood of the book perfectly. So check out the preview and then kick yourself for not having read it all along.

Preview: ‘Hoax Hunters’ #0

You may recall Hoax Hunters from the back pages of Hack/Slash this past year, but now it’s spun off into it’s own series. Written by Michael Moreci and Steve Seeley (yes, Tim Seeley’s brother), with J.M. Ringuet on art duties, Hoax Hunters is a zany cross somewhere between The X-Files and B.P.R.D.. The story follows a crew of hunters who travel across the globe investigating paranormal folklore and urban myths, mixing together all sorts of sci-fi goodies, with some sardonic jabs at reality TV. Hoax Hunters #0 is due out in March and below you can check out the 5-page preview. Read on for the skinny…

Preview: DC Universe Presents #5

Sadly this is the last solo book we will see of Deadman for, what will likely be, an extended period of time. Issue #5 raps up Jenkins’ run on Boston Brand, and next month the series heads off in a more Kirby-esque direction with Challengers of the Unknown. This has been an incredibly entertaining arc, but it’s not the end of the red dead ghoul. I don’t know what you’re waiting for! Check the preview below and bask in that metafictional glory!
