I can give you that for half the price of a movie ticket.

Well it certainly doesn't look like they're trying to go super serious, so I'd say fantastical and bizarre is a safe bet. You don't give a guy a bright red cape that comes up to his ears if you're going for "toned down".

Cumbersnatch ruins everything he's in. I'm not looking forward to Dr. Strange at all.

Decided to make a second attempt to get into Saga and finish up Anita Blake Vampire Hunter.

I've read the first few Anita Blake books, and they're kinda ****. The first couple were entertaining, but they try too hard to be an R-rated Buffy, and it's just kinda lame bull****. Maybe the comics are better than the books, but if they're not then they have no place on the bookshelf of anyone over the age of 18.

I don't his acting but he is incredibly overrated thanks to Tumblr girls across the globe.

Got some more comics.

A second helping of badass. Black Widow kicks the shit out of some more people, and a little bit of light is shed on her motivations. Just as good as the first. I don't want to spoil anything, but a russian guy may or may not get eaten by a lion in this issue.

Saw this at the store, and it caught my eye for obvious reasons. I wanted to like it, 'cause Xena, but it just didn't really come off as anything special to me. It might have helped if I'd read any of the previous Xena comics that have been put out over the years. Anyway, it was alright.

Heh. If you think the idea of evil leather-clad gimps getting smacked around by a super hero sounds hilarious, then this is the comic for you. Two issues in, and Mockingbird is still awesome. Still, I'm kinda bummed that there are only three issues left.

Oh man, this shit made me laugh so goddamn hard. Probably my favorite issue so far. Chock full of sight gags, and I loved all the digs about Casiolena being a bargain bin Enchantress.

I've been getting into Kate Bush a lot lately, so when I saw this, I did a double take. Apparently, Rock 'n Roll Comics was a series back in the '90s that made unauthorized comic book biographies based on the lives of musicians. I doubt that they're all that accurate, but I don't give that much of a shit as long as they're entertaining. And yeah, if this issue is any indication, they're entertaining. It's packed with references to her songs, music videos, and live/televised performances, and the art and writing aren't awful. Why didn't anyone tell me that this shit existed sooner?! There's even supposed to be an issue dedicated to the music scene of '60s San Francisco. That shit better have the Ace of Cups in it, if it doesn't want to end up as toilet paper!

Last week there was literally nothing that I wanted that came out. This week is looking pretty ****ing good.
