OK comic book fans, I've got the next installment of my "what's new" portion of my blog. Viewing this blog will help you better prepare for what lies ahead tomorrow!
New Comics Series (#1's)
Believe it or not, there aren't many new series starting out this week, at least not that we've ordered. But there are a couple, find out more below.
Hero Camp #1 (of 4), published by Image written by Greg Thompson with art & cover by Robbi Rodriguez. For once, an Image comic has come out exactly on time - not even one week late from what they listed in Previews. Yeah Image - keep it up there guys, you might sell more comics if you do. Anyway, back to the comic... Eric Quinlan is an average kid whose life is turned upside down when his super-powered parents send him to a summer camp for teenagers with powers. Eric finds himself lost in the works of Camp Enokchuk, being stalked by 3 super-villains who believe he really does have super-powers. The problem is, he doesn't. I saw a small preview of this comic, and it does look funny. The art is decent too - heavily lined with bold colors and simple dimension.
Strange Eggs #1 is published by Amaze Ink/Slave Labor Graphics and created by an all-star cast of Slave Labor's top creators like Crab Scrambly, Roger Langridge, Jennifer Feinberg, Chris Reilly, and many more. They join forces to tell the stories of Kyle & Kelly Hatcher, a lonely brother and sister who get a strange egg delivered to them every week, but the dapper egg delivery man, Roger Rogers. The eggs hatch into problems that the kids need to solve. Problems like aliens, dinosaurs, crazed ventriloquist dummies... While it is black and white, it looks to be fun fun fun!
