Khail Loves Comics! Sept. 12th

Damn straight he does! And he’ll be reviewing them on fridays, ya hear? Let’s hop to it.
Criminal 2 #5
(Icon/Marvel)
This is the book that started my love of crime and film noir. Now all I want are superflawed protagonists, internal monologues and girls who ruin your life. I now take you to this review from Comics Bulletin that highlights why people should buy this book.
Pax Romana #3

Jonathan Hickman’s high concept historical saga continues and thank goodness. In short, this book is about a group of scientific, political and miliary figures who decide to rule the world through socio-political change by traveling back in time to the peak of the Holy Roman Empire. Hickman’s dialogue is sharp, his plotting is solid and his art design is clever and very unique. Also, this book had this exchange.
“Well, it’s too late for that, I introduced the scientific method to a group of scholars last week a full 1300 years early.
“And?”
“Went well.”
Dark Tower: Treachery #1
(Marvel)
The past two Dark Tower series, The Gunslinger Born and The Long Road Home, were fantastic and, surprisingly, Eisner absent (although they did get some nods). So far this is the start of another great one, with Peter David’s writing fitting oh so well in Mr. Stephen King’s western world. But the star of the show, and it always will be as long as this team stays together, is the art. Seriously! Go find the book and just LOOK at the pages of Jae Lee and Richard Isanove. Flippin’ Gorgeous.
Leave comments if you dare/care. Man……..man I love comics. See ya’ll tomorrow.
