Yet Another COMIC GEEK UPDATE...


In the 4th issue of this 5-issue mini-series, Koji gets his father to let them try to fix a battle-worn MechaGodzilla in their war against the mob, while...

...the 6th issue of KINGDOM OF MONSTERS features the Obama-like U.S. President granting permission for an all-new MechaGodzilla to be built in Detroit in an attempt to battle the world-wide monster invasion.
I'm assuming the final issue of GANGSTERS AND GOLIATHS as well as the next KOM will be must-reads for MechaGodzilla fans...
(NOTE TO IDW: PLEASE stop with the 4-variant covers per issue---they're annoying!)

While I enjoyed DC's epic DARKEST NIGHT and BRIGHTEST DAY mini series, this 3-issue "Aftermath" was easily an attempt to milk the series' popularity a bit longer.  While interesting for SWAMP THING FANS, fans of the aforementioned series didn't miss too much.

Gwen's zombie-hunting boyfriend FINALLY discovers she's a zombie.  And while this issue acts as a catch-up for newer readers, it's still one of the most entertaining comics on the market.  The retro-looking artwork never gets old, either.

The ROAD OF KINGS series gets back to business as Conan finds himself caring for a young girl.  He takes her along on his quest, which leads them to an underground lair filled with countless over-sized creepy crawlers.  The action comes fast and furious in this satisfying installment, marred only by Mike Hawthorne's sloppy and silly-looking artwork (although I liked his renderings of the undead in the final panel's zombie attack).  Seriously, DARK HORSE...CONAN has been one of your best titles for years.  PLEASE get rid of this guy and give our favorite Cimmerian an artist worthy of the quality of the comic.
