Toriko: Ichiryu and Midora!!

I read Toriko, Vol. 20: Ichiryu and Midora

I posted a review at the ComicBookBin (which has free smart phone apps and comics).

The "Leroys" 2012 - Richard Stark's Parker: The Score

Hey, it’s Leroy Douresseaux – the Prince of Comic Book Reviews.  Of course, the prince can’t read every thing.  Seriously, I wish I could, as I am always curious about the comic books that I have not read.  Still, I’ve managed to compile a list of what I think are the best comic books, graphic novels, and books related to comics of the year 2012 that I actually read.  It has taken me awhile, of course…

And if the Eisner Awards are the Oscars of comic book awards (which is sad that people actually say that), then, the “Leroys” are the Golden Globes of comic book awards.  My “best picture” award is the “Comic Book of the Year” award.

2012’s “Comic Book of the Year” goes to Richard Stark’s Parker: The Score by Darwyn Cooke; edited by Scott Dunbier and published by IDW Publishing

I was going to go with Building Stories by Chris Ware (Pantheon Books), just for its sheer audacity, planning, and publication design.  I could even go with Love and Rockets: New Stories #5, which is so awesome.  But I’m a homer for Darwyn Cooke.

I Reads You Review: SAMURAI JACK #4

SAMURAI JACK #4
IDW PUBLISHING with Cartoon Network – @IDWPublishing and @cartoonnetwork

WRITER: Jim Zub – @jimzub
ARTIST: Andy Suriano – @wolfboy74
COLORS: Josh Burcham
LETTERS: Shawn Lee
COVER: Andy Suriano
28pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (January 2014)

Samurai Jack created by Genndy Tartakovsky

“Samurai Jack and the Threads of Time” Part 4

Samurai Jack, the comic book adaptation of the Emmy-winning animated television series, Samurai Jack (2001-2004), reaches the penultimate issue of “The Threads of Time” storyline.  The Samurai Jack five-issue comic book miniseries is written by Jim Zub and drawn by Andy Suriano.

As you now, Samurai Jack focuses on a samurai known as “Jack,” who is trapped in a dystopian, futuristic Earth.  It is ruled by an old enemy of Jack’s, a tyrannical, shape-shifting, demonic wizard named Aku.  Jack wanders this future, trying to find a method by which he can travel back in time to the era in which he belongs, Feudal Japan.  Then, he can try to keep Aku from creating this troubled future.

Samurai Jack #4 finds Jack continuing to search for the Threads of Time.  With them, he can wind into the Rope of Eons and therefore, rewind himself home.  He already has four strands.

Jack now travels through a remote area beset by a terribly frigid winter.  Jack arrives in a village searching for food and other provisions for his journey.  What he finds instead is a beaten populace that serves the needs of the vain and greedy, immortal Queen Krystle the Ageless.  And even Jack’s martial prowess may be no match for her power and her robotic army.

Once again, I am not surprised that I enjoyed reading Zub and Suriano’s Samurai Jack.  As I review this miniseries, I keep saying that this Samurai Jack comic book is not merely an adaptation of the cartoon; it is the real Jack.  This time, I also have to acknowledge the colors by Josh Burcham.  He brings this story to life as much as Zub and Suriano by creating mood and atmosphere.  Burcham also gives this story’s setting the sense of being a character.

I still hope this Samurai Jack miniseries turns into a Samurai Jack regular series.
