Zombie Cop!!!

Ok, its hard not to like zombies. It seems that it is a huge fad and everyone is all about zombies (mostly thanks to AMC's adaptation of the Walking Dead), but I cant help myself from joining in with the hoards of zombie fans.

Zombie Cop is written by Jeff Mariotte (who is quickly climbing up my list of favorite authors) and is about well...a zombie cop.

Joe is a cop that has one last case to close before he lets himself become a full on zombie. fighting decay, hunger for human flesh, and even other police, Joe tries his best to fight the scum of the earth (dead or alive).

If you like zombies and really, really cool art then i suggest checking out Zombie Cop

the cover for issue #6 of Origin

the last chapter was the best.

[comicfish-blog]

This is an origin story for Wolverine that goes far back into Wolverine's childhood.

It is always a strange thing when comics try to do origin stories, especially one that is as popular and frequent as wolverine. This origin story i felt was a good one but it could have been better. This story was alot less action and a lot more personality development. the reader learns how Logan gets his name (cus it isnt his real name) and how he comes to terms with his powers.

it wasnt amazing (mostly due to a lack of action) but it was good and interesting.

I've been reading more books these days without any art...

But im gunna do some posts on a few comics i got to read lately.

Jeff Mariotte is a great writer. I have enjoyed many of his comics, and I recently read one of his novels, "The Slab".

It was a great read, and it did have a couple of sketches in it.

another cover shot

it was fun to read. that is the crazy billionare on the screens on the cover

This is the first of a really good series of dramatic graphic novels. There is not as much action as say, the punisher, but it is a really well written series with good story lines.

This one is about a billionaire that tries to claim the moon as his own and threatens the earth from his moon base.

its a cool futuristic type of story with some clever writing and funny moments.

cover for issue #3 of Buffalo Dreams.

the art in this comic was crazy good.

[comicfish-blog]

This is a later volume of a really really good western series. Jeff Mariotte writes about a band of basically "good guys" that are rolling around the old west (late 1800s) doing what they think they need to do.

The writing is good. the story lines are good. I am excited to read all of the series, but this one is a good read. The group of heros are on a mission from Geronimo (the indian elder) to find the buffalo cave and open a portal. well in a nut shell thats it. but there are people trying to kill them, etc.

If you like a good blend of horror, western, action, and some drama then check this one out. also its full color art, and that is always rad.

this part was funny. this guy was trying to push himself of jennifer, but he doesnt know she is a efficient killer. instead of killing him though she screams that she has seen a "very ugly 3 inch pink mouse"

good stuff

then she fucking murders one of her uncles.

Issue #3 of Jennifer Blood written by Garth Ennis.

This comic is turing out to be a great series and I hope it doesnt ever end. Jennifer continues her mission to kill her uncles. and this time she gets creative with some intestines and an SUV. The story gets thicker in this issue and things are setting up nicely for issue 4.

if you havent yet checked out this comic then you should.

one more page from the albanian.

his little chat with the office murder.

[comicfish-blog]

a page from the Albanian

let those survival instincts take over

[comicfish-blog]

The Albania is written by M.K. Perker for the Noir collection of Crime Comics.

I think i liked this one the best. Its about an office building with an Albanian janitor that is the witness and survior of a bloody shooting. but at the end he still knows the beauty of life.
