I consulted on this one, but this feature is going to be Tim's from here on out (although if I see a significantly Cerebus-related comic coming up, I'll be sure to let Tim know). You can see my picks with my co-author Greg Burgas over at the Flippin' Through Previews posts on the Atomic Junk Shop (click on my name for the one that includes some of these picks, and look for the new one some time this week).<br /><br />I'll include some picks here, though, so Jeff doesn't miss out.<br /><br />The one that hurt me to cut from my list this month was the Xaime art book that Tim featured in this post. Man oh man do I want that!<br /><br />Neal Adams is doing a Deadman 6 issue series (that may be bi-monthly, unless I've missed it going through the new catalog), and the first issue has a glow in the dark variant cover. If it's half as wacky as Batman: Odyssey, it'll be at least twice as wacky as anything else on the stands!<br /><br />Kevin Eastman and Billy the Sink team up on TMNT Inside Out Director's Cut. What else do you need to know?<br /><br />Eastman also collects a bunch of '90s stories he did in Roninbebop, also from IDW, as was the TMNT book.<br /><br />The second collection of the first part of Matt Wagner's Mage is going to be out in trade.<br /><br />Chapterhouse is collecting the original Golden Age Mr. Monster comics that Michael T. Gilbert later resurrected, in the Mr. Monster Compendium. <br /><br />I think I mentioned it before, but the Kelly Green collection by Stan Drake and Leonard Starr was reoffered as well. <br /><br />Zen Home is a new one shot comic of Zen the Intergalactic Ninja from Devil's Due/1First comics, of the long-running indie comic.<br /><br />Hermes is collecting the Steve Canyon comic book stories in a HC. <br /><br />And that should be a good start. Don't forget to check out the latest Flippin' Through Previews at the Atomic Junk Shop soon, for more fun comics!Travis Pelkiehttp://atomicjunkshop.com/flippin-through-previews-august-2017/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-70336519450902386932017-09-02T23:14:19.247-05:002017-09-02T23:14:19.247-05:00Tony--First of all, I *love* The Nostalgia Zone! ...Tony--First of all, I *love* The Nostalgia Zone! Secondly, the crazy Canadian lady bought me the complete "Alec" hardbound doorstop one year for Christmas--one of my favorite possessions. I still agree with James A Owen, though, that Dave repeatedly spoofed other artists' characters and did them better. That sequence in "Guys", where Dave moshed up Bacchus was one of my favorite sequences in the whole book.<br /><br />Travis? Where are your additional reviews, upon which I had come to rely?<br /><br />--Jeff<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-67515866585596716802017-09-02T08:36:45.455-05:002017-09-02T08:36:45.455-05:00Lordy, maybe I need to rethink my retirement from ...Lordy, maybe I need to rethink my retirement from contemporary comics patronage. How is it that I never heard of Jenny Zervakis? The Nineties was my peak "alt-comics" period, and her stuff sounds right up my alley.<br /><br />My latest purchase, from "The Nostalgia Zone" near my house in south Minneapolis (as the name suggests, they do not carry new comics) was two more squarebound volumes of Eddie Campbell's <i>Alec</i> strips, which I absolutely love. Within ten pages or so I went from grinning, to softly chuckling, to full belly laughs, plus his deceptively simple drawing style has an endless variety of poses, facial expressions, and perspectives that make the whole thing look like real life - more so, I think, than "photorealism."<br /><br />So. I'm buying <i>The Complete Strange Growths</i> when it comes out. Thanks, Tim (and Travis?).Tony Dunlopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-28829816130543878392017-09-02T03:51:18.071-05:002017-09-02T03:51:18.071-05:00At the top of my own reading list this month has t...At the top of my own reading list this month has to be "Tongues" #1 by Anders Nilsen (self-published), which seems to be a prequel / sequel / reinterpretation of his 2004 "Dogs & Water". Amazing art and story which pushed the boundaries of what comics can be. What more can a Cerebus fan ask for?<br /><br />http://www.andersbrekhusnilsen.com/tonguesA Moment Of Cerebushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02718525538144698138noreply@blogger.com
