Flash Gordon Archives, Vol. 5

Flash Gordon Archives, Vol. 5
Written by John Warner, Bruce Jones, George Kashdan
Art by Carlos Garzon, Gene Fawcette, Al Williamson, Frank Bolle, Al McWilliams
Introduction by Michael T. Gilbert
Dark Horse Comics
Release Date: December 14th, 2011
Cover Price: $49.99

Collected in Flash Gordon Archives, Vol. 5 are 10 issues of the Whitman Flash Gordon series (28-37) including issues 31-33 which were an adaptation of the 1980 Flash Gordon movie. Talk about a treasure trove of excitement! Nearly 300 pages of classic comics reprinted and restored, and believe me, the book is totally worth the price.

These are, obviously, stories from another time. Comics were written a lot different then. There were no suck thing as "story arcs." A comic was either a story told in one issue or a story that simply never really stopped, just continued from issue to issue. [...]

Comic Review: Red Sonja #60

Red Sonja 60

Red Sonja #60
Story by Eric Trautmann
Pencils by Patrick Berkenkotter
Colors by Marcio Freire
Letters by Troy Peteri
Covers by Fabiano Neves, Walter Geovani
Dynamite Entertainment
Release Date: December 14th, 2011
Cover Price: $3.99

5 years of publishing at Dynamite and this book is still going strong! And Red Sonja #60 proves why it's not going anyplace anytime soon. While not trying to change the world or win an Eisner, this book accomplished what it sets out to do-tell a fun tale of everyone's favorite She-Devil with a sword!

I was not familiar with writer Eric Trautmann until a couple of weeks ago when I read his FANTASTIC Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist #1. And while I'm not a regular Red Sonja reader right now, I'll be honest, the fact that he wrote it weighed heavily on my choosing to review it. I was NOT disappointed. [...]

Dark Horse Collects The Entirety Of Brian Wood’s ‘Channel Zero’

Channel Zero Header

Dark Horse Comics has announced that the publishing company will be collecting the entirety of Brian Wood's critically acclaimed Channel Zero comic book series.

Released originally in 1997, Channel Zero was a vision of a future that was not precisely what we hope and dream of. Wood's first real voyage in the comic book industry told a story that was forward thinking for its time, while still being relevant today. Themes such as freedom of expression, surveillance, media infiltration and computer manipulation are prevalent through the pages of this politically charged graphic work. And readers that may enjoy Brian Wood's work on other stories may not realize that the majority of Channel Zero was both written and drawn by Wood. [...]

Conan Road of Kings #11 is a "breather" issue. It's the issue in between grand adventures that slows down the pace for a minute and let's you explore some of Conan's character traits and lets his personality do most of the heavy lifting, story-wise. Hey, it's Roy Thomas writing Conan. Thank you again, Dark Horse! [...]
