</span> <span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">The long-awaited second chapter of Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's <i>League of Extraordinary Gentlemen III: Century</i> takes place almost sixty years later in the psychedelic daze of Swinging London during 1969, a place where Tadukic Acid Diethylamide 26 is the drug of choice, and where different underworlds are starting to overlap dangerously to an accompaniment of sit-ins and sitars. Alerted to a threat concerning the same magic order that she and her colleagues were investigating during 1910, a thoroughly modern Mina Murray and her dwindling league of comrades attempt to navigate the perilous rapids of London's hippie and criminal subculture, as well as the twilight world of its occultists. Mina and her companions must prevent the making of a Moonchild that might well turn out to be the Anti-Christ.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

The only rule felons must abide by is this: never leave the island - otherwise one becomes a Ghostface, hunted and killed like a feral animal.<br />
<br />
<br />
But when the wrongly accused threatens to shatter the very foundation of the island, a mass paranoia consumes Sodo, and the line between tormenter and prey suddenly becomes blurred... <br />

There are few graphic story tellers who can pull me into a world as quickly as Min-Woo Hyung and this first volume of Ghostface throws you into the thick of a conflict years in the making. For those of you lucky enough to have read the creator's previous work in Priest can continue to expect great characters, an intricate plot, and moral ambiguity from Hyung. Those new to his work are in for a treat. If there is only one book you pick up this week, the choice is easy; grab Ghostface off the shelf before someone else beats you to it.Laughing Ogre Comicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16402173074913745049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944103625760636970.post-23539366872647984762011-06-22T12:37:00.000-05:002011-06-22T12:37:33.142-05:00Picks of the Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcB3bxjcYkebT7Quv0ivtlnJHNJGh4AccLi7xL2JdkDzxJ0zkFZtILav_z5t6PmnfotMWIacHvsvf2DAfpRAw_My3Da3eCRdlNhhHZsTYLaLxmKVpvODx9BHZlTt7UNKlZ1rgdF5KaFhY/s1600/all+nighter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcB3bxjcYkebT7Quv0ivtlnJHNJGh4AccLi7xL2JdkDzxJ0zkFZtILav_z5t6PmnfotMWIacHvsvf2DAfpRAw_My3Da3eCRdlNhhHZsTYLaLxmKVpvODx9BHZlTt7UNKlZ1rgdF5KaFhY/s1600/all+nighter.jpg" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="blued" style="font-size: small;"><strong> <span style="font-size: large;">ALL NIGHTER #1 (OF 5)</span></strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<br />
There are few villains in graphic novels who know how to make and execute a plan well. When they do, it is certainly something to behold. Not to tip their hand too much, but Lancaster is one of those villains. If this were all Day of the Magicians had to offer, it would have been a decent read. Fortunately for you, La Neve and Nizzoli brought a lot more to the table than just an intelligent villain. There is a believable human quality in each of the main characters in this story. Their emotions, motivation, and reactions are honest and compelling. Take the journey with Drazen as he approachs the most important day in his life.<br />
<br />
Recommended for fans of Fables, Unwritten, and Magus<br />

The search for his old self will bring many a parade of fantastical characters his way, both good and evil...<br />
<br />
There are only a few things graphic novels need to earn a place on my book shelf; a solid story, dynamic characters, beatiful artwork, and well-executed scripting. Bonus point are available for comedy, epics, martial arts or sword and sorcery. This book manages to have it all in less than 200 pages. Do yourself a favor and flip through this book. Everything good I could tell you about this beauty is evident regardless of which panel you turn to. <br />
<br />
This book is for fans of Conan, Hellboy, Northlanders, or any of their ilk<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>30 Days of Night Vol. 1</b></span></div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">This is the beginning of the groundbreaking saga! This edition features an Ashley Wood cover gallery, multi-page previews of two of the 30 Days of Night sequels by Niles and Templesmith, and much more. Experience this classic horror tale that inspired the film!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The reason I picked up this book a few years back was because of the art. Ben Templesmith is fabulous, & I was surprised by how amazing the story is. Steve Niles really hits the mark. Vampires, blood splattered snow, & characters you actually like (on both sides of the coin). Fantastic all around! If you have seen the movie and liked it, pick this up. If you have seen the movie and hated it; this is different, it’s much better, and well worth giving the series another shot. Niles made me a fan, and Templesmith just fed the fire with splattery, sketchy, terror. This is a great beginning to an amazing series. </div>Laughing Ogre Comicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16402173074913745049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944103625760636970.post-27424554249115498652011-06-02T10:30:00.000-05:002011-06-02T10:30:36.318-05:00Picks of the Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"> Fear Itself #3</span></b></div><br />

It’s always a blast seeing inside of Legion’s fractured mind, and I loved how his multitudes of personalities were illustrated. I’m also a fan of New Mutant’s team outsider, Illyana Rasputin, who’s tough, detached, mysterious and does what she wants regardless of what her team thinks. </div>Laughing Ogre Comicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16402173074913745049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944103625760636970.post-78864203636776607472011-05-28T16:31:00.000-05:002011-05-28T16:31:11.153-05:00Lloyd's Pick Of The Month<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style>

Last year, IDW had the honor of releasing the complete Rocketeer saga in several editions, showcasing the work of this great artist as it was always meant to be seen-completely remastered, with nearly every page scanned directly from the originals and recolored by Dave's hand-picked colorist.<br />
Today we are able to celebrate Dave's talent once again, with an all-new Rocketeer anthology miniseries written and drawn by some of the finest creators in comics, and with the full cooperation of the Stevens family.<br />
The first star-studded issue of The Rocketeer features a gorgeous cover by Alex Ross, and terrific stories by John Cassaday, Mike Allred, Kurt Busiek, and Michael Kaluta, plus outstanding pin-ups by Mike Mignola and Jim Silke-all paying tribute to the continued legacy of Rocketeer and Dave Stevens!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span> <span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">Not a dream, not an imaginary story, not an elseworld. This is Flash Fact: When Barry Allen wakes at his desk, he discovers the world has changed. Family is alive, loved ones are strangers, and close friends are different, gone or worse. It's a world on the brink of a cataclysmic war - but where are Earth's Greatest Heroes to stop it? It's a place where America's last hope is Cyborg, who hopes to gather the forces of The Outsider, The Secret 7, S!H!A!Z!A!M!, Citizen Cold and other new and familiar-yet-altered faces! It's a world that could be running out of time, if The Flash can't find the villain who altered the time line!<br />

It's the message on the walls. It's the feeling in your gut. In this city, "We are all lost." Ray certainly is; a former cop turned private eye and junkie, haunted by his past in a city with no sun and no hope. A beautiful woman and a slick criminal both offer him the same job: Find a girl named Madeline and bring her to them. Ray doesn't want the job, but he can't just leave this girl in the middle. Thrust into the city's twisted underbelly, Ray will unveil Netherworld's darkest secrets and come face-to-face with his past. Beware, Ray. If you seek the truth, you just might find it.<br />
From masters of supernatural terror Bryan Edward Hill and Rob Levin (Pilot Season: 7 Days From Hell, Broken Trinity: Pandora's Box) and the art team of Tony Shasteen and colorist JD Mettler (Witchblade: Annual, Stephen King's Talisman) comes a haunting supernatural noir epic like nothing you've ever seen before</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
