Reviews, Set Two
A few more reviews from the Convention Floor at Heroes Con.
Tales of Insanity #1-8- Jay Gobble/Epitaph Graphix- Tales of Insanity reminds me a little bit of my first comic, Pulp Horrorshow. The format is similiar, namely, try to cram as many crazy ass stories into 24 pages as is humanly possible. Good, thick, black and white line work compliments a variety of action stories starring strange characters like a giant Bunny Rabbit superhero (thankfully, no resemblance to Lab Bunny) and a guy with a giant eyeball for a head. Nice.
Yellow Jackets #1- Charles Underhill- A mangaesque tale of a military group consisting of a street fighter, a chick, and a big cyborg tiger. Good art and a fast paced story featuring lots of cool looking vehicles and esplodions.
Big Old Bag of Magnet Man- Brien Wayne Powell with Various other creators- ed4time Press- I would put up the website links, but I tried them out ahead of time and they didn't work for some reason.- So, I traded a guy for an issue of SDF, and I got a package that contained two regular size comics and three or four minis. Cha-Ching! Anyway, the minis and one of the regulars are about Magnet Man, a rather simple superhero who may or may not have superpowers, and his various adventures. The supporting cast includes a guy named Cow Man. Funny stuff. The other full size is about a guy who accidentally casts his soul into a stuffed bunny (what is it with bunnies today?) that's locked inside a Prize Crane. Being a fan of the Prize Crane, I found the whole thing to be very funny.
Terrilbe Tales on a Smaller Scale- Geekboy Press- www.geekboypress.com - Two stories for the price of one. Robot Boy by Louie La Palombara III is a series of shorts about a Robot who has to put up with living with a snotty superhero. Michael Finkelstein by Eric Remer is sort of like a classic children's tale about a boy whose imagination takes him to strange and exciting places. Good stuff all around, complimented by really good production values.
