Best Bang Reborn #3: July 4th & June 25th, 2008

This week is a mash-up in this week’s Best Bang to include last week’s Canada Day books! From Warren Ellis pissing me off on Astonishing X-Men to Batman R.I.P to Angel making me shake my head, we have lots here. Included is last weeks Final Cri$i$ making me realize that I hate it when people try to show me how smart they are in comics, The (red) Hulk mystery continues and Mark Millar’s Fantastic Four keeps frustrating me. Since I have not gone to the island of Vancouver lately, these books come to you from Port Moody’s Hourglass Comics.

Oh and Happy Independence Day yeah bunch of colonists down south! :P

Freak Angels webcomic

February 15th, 2008 rjp Posted in Comic Books, Warren Ellis, Web Comics 8 Comments »

Freak Angels webcomic

I was mistaken a while ago that Freak Angels was going to be an Avatar book whereas it will be a web comic (likely collected once the foaming at the mouth Ellis fans cry for it). The artwork by Paul Duffield looks amazing but the story seems like such a typical Warren Ellis book. Watch the main character KK come up with the best one liners, the smartest person amongst her peers and save the day. I hope I am very wrong!  More here:

BtS Best… No.. Worst Bang Special for Nov 7th

November 13th, 2007 rjp Posted in Best Bang, Comic Books, Dark Horse Comics, Marvel Comics, Warren Ellis 2 Comments »

Well kids, I am going to be changing things around here for a bit. Best Bang wont be a zillion books I have read over the week anymore. Instead I am going to just mention a few books and still keep things on the bite sized info bits. No long rants unless they deserve their own posts. So lets kick off this new Best Bang for last week before the new comics come and plow their way into our heads…

Marvel Comics Annihilation: Conquest

October 9th, 2007 rjp Posted in Comic Books, Marvel Comics, Parizek Personal, Warren Ellis No Comments »

annihilation-conquest-ani.gif

Okay. I must gush about how Marvel is doing a great job with the whole Annihilation comics and storyline. I just picked up Annihilation Book 1 in trade and even though I had the singles, reading it all together was AMAZING and I look forward to the rest of the Annihilation books (3 of them I believe). From the art to the wicked story the Ann takes you on a wild ride through the space opera that is the Marvel Comics Space Universe sans The Shi’ar since they are apart of the X-Men Universe.

Some tidbits on the new Annihilation: Conquest mini-series coming oddly enough also on Nov. 7th!
