Titan

Calling this guy “late for dinner” is not a good idea.

While I enjoy the “mainstream” comics from time to time, I tend to enjoy the publishing houses that are off the beaten path. In fact, the publications from DC and Marvel that I enjoy the most are the Elseworlds and What Ifs; I find that the departure from canon (though fictitious) is refreshing and interesting. It is not surprising, then, that AH Comics’ Titan is an awesome book to pick up, given that the history that it is repainting is our own.

Review
Assassin’s Creed: The Fall

By Jorge Figueiredo - February 24th, 2011

acf-1

Stepping away from video games proper, I would like to discuss this comic book mini-series called Assassin’s Creed: The Fall.; Published by Wildstorm, this series of three comics is both written and illustrated by Cameron Stewart and Karl Kerschl; the story and art are fantastic. The story follows the life of Nikolai Orelov, a Russian Assassin, during the time of the Tunguska Event*; this story is being lived through one of Orelov’s descendants named Daniel Cross (via genetic memory access).

Review
Vermonia

By Dana Russo - December 17th, 2010

vermonia-1

I used to read manga frequently in middle and high school, and enjoyed it thoroughly. I’m a stickler for art and so I would snobbishly put a book back on the shelf at my local Borders if it didn’t meet my standards. This isn’t to say that I am some sort of manga connoisseur; it’s just that I’m picky. It’s fortunate then that one of the first things I noticed about the Vermonia series is the art style: it’s very unique and likeable.

COMICS!
Assassins’ Creed Comic Coming Soon!

By Jorge Figueiredo - July 20th, 2010

As if the Assassin’s Creed  franchise wasn’t awesome enough already, Ubisoft has announced that a comic book mini-series is in development and will be released this fall. Word is that Cameron Stewart and Karl Kerschl are working together to make this happen. These two Canadian comic book powerhouses were recently in St. Petersburg, Russia, to do some research for the project.

Gee, I wonder what the setting will be for the new comic series?
