Bokurano's Children's Crusade

I read Bokurano: Ours, Vol. 2 (Bokurano Ours)

I posted a review at the Comic Book Bin (which has smart phone apps and they're FREE.)

I Reads You Review: FAIRY TAIL, VOL. 5

Creator: Hiro Mashima; William Flanagan (translation and adaptation)
Publishing Information: Del Rey Manga, paperback, 202 pages, $10.99 (US), $12.50 CAN
Ordering Numbers: ISBN: 978-0-345-50558-3 (ISBN-13)

Rating “T for Ages 13+”

Lucy Heartfilia is a girl wizard, and her dream was to become a member of Fairy Tail, the famous wizards’ guild. Lucy met Fairy Tail member, the young fire wizard, Natsu Dragneel, and Happy, his talking, occasionally winged cat. Before long, Lucy was in Fairy Tail, wearing the guild’s brand on her right hand, and even meeting other powerful members like Gray Fullbuster and Erza Scarlet.

As Fairy Tail, Vol. 5 opens, Lucy and friends prepare to protect a village from the impending attack by former members of the guild, Lamia Scale. During the attack, the injured Gray Fullbuster realizes that a former associate of his, Reitei Lyon, is involved with Lamia Scale, and Natsu has gone to battle Lyon. Now, the secrets of Gray’s past are about to be revealed.

Although it is published by Del Rey Manga in North American, Fairy Tail reminds me of VIZ Media Shonen Jump titles like One Piece and especially Naruto. Fairy Tail has a large cast of characters and their pasts often initiate or shape storylines (a prominent trait of Naruto). Creator Hiro Mashima (Rave Master) offers a manga that should be as popular with young male readers as the most successful Shonen Jump titles. Plus, the art is stellar. Sometimes, Fairy Tail looks like a superheroes with magic powers comic book, and I wish many of the Doctor Strange and Dr. Fate comic books were half as exciting to read as Fairy Tail.

Champion City Comics is proud to announce to launch of Phoebe and Eddie, a humorous webcomic chronicling the life of two high school friends, written by TonyDoug Wright and featuring the pencils, inks, and lettering of Joe ‘Pohgo’ Pruitt.

Champion City Comics has also begun a partnership with two webcomics producers, The Black Gates and Freestyle Komics. Writer and artist Andrew J of The Black Gates has two webcomics available at Champion City Comics titled Point of Conflict and 4x4. Michael Watson of Freestyle Komics has agreed to launch his webcomic Vigilance at Champion City Comics on September 25th.

We are very excited to announce that our webcomic The End of Paradise has hit the one hundred page milestone.

By the end of this year, we plan to have two additional webcomics launched titled …And We Formed A Band (A rock and roll extravaganza) and Day 165 (An Afghanistan War story).

From May 1, 2010 to September 17, 2010, we had over 1,700 readers and Champion City Comics is grateful to those who took the time to read our webcomics.

All web-comics are available for view at http://www.championcitycomics.com/.

HOLY FUNNY PAPERS! ADAM WEST PARTNERS WITH BLUEWATER ON NEW COMIC BOOK VENTURE

This springs comes a new ongoing comedy action adventure series with the iconic Adam West in the self-title “Misadventures of Adam West”.

Bluewater describes the series as, The Man, The Myth, The Amulet?

"I am really impressed with Bluewater's creative team and vision. They have morphed me and it didn't even hurt. Bluewater has taken me full circle from playing a famous comic book character to being one. Fascinating! I'm in my own comic book and I love what goes on there. Wait "til you get a load of the wild and unique situations they've put me in and how they mix it with reality. What a jolt it is to see some of my fantasies come to life right in front of us." Adam West

The book will be co-written by Adam West, Walter Fernandez Jr. & Arastao Maree and drawn by Lipe artist on “William Shatner Presents: TekWar”. The covers were done by Matt Bellisle.

ZombieBomb is Back

TP's "ZombieBomb!" Returns....TO FEED!

Terminal Press’ breakout hit series “ZombieBomb!” is back with its second killer issue, “ZombieBomb! The Feed.”

Rich Woodall (Johnny Raygun) and acclaimed painter Adam Miller return as co-editors on the zombie anthology book that’s been stirring up buzz between horror and comics enthusiasts alike since the title launched in March. With accolades from industry greats such as Ed McGuinness and Eric Powell, and a four-skull stamp of approval from Fangoria magazine, “ZombieBomb!” has proven to be fertile ground for the top talent that’s assembled to spin short tales of the undead in every 64-page issue.

“ZombieBomb! The Feed” also continues Terminal Press' collaboration with thrash metal legends Exodus. "Last Desires" is a featured story from writer/frontman Rob Dukes, who also penned the serial killer nightmare I AM BECOME GOD earlier this year and is a character in his band's own comic, Exodus: Death Begets Death.

"What's On The Menu?" Variant by Rich Woodall
With alternate covers from Miller and Woodall, “The Feed’s” creators also include Chris Giarrusso (Marvel, Image), Keith McCleary (Heavy Metal), Craig Rousseau (Marvel,Image), Fred Lynch (Random House, The Washington Post), Khary Randolph (Marvel, DC, The Cartoon Network) Chris Dahlen (The Onion), Loston Wallace (DC), Tony Donley, Josh Morrissette, Bryan White, Cheri Couillard, Alison Blackwell, Chuck Knigge, Robert Squier and John Gajowski.

“ZombieBomb! The Feed” premiered at SDCC 2010, and can now be previewed and purchased at the Terminal Press website. Faithful ZombieBombers! can get their undead fix between issues at the official Facebook page and Youtube channel, ZombieBombTV.

Check out all the undead goodness at TP's zombie page.
