Trini Wastelander has achieved her lifelong ambition. Her amateur Podunk Lil Team defeated the professionals and won the championship. But now, Trini joins her idol's team as Queen Mob sells Cutter Dan, the Bandit Twins, and Dave The Mutant Bear-Man to other teams. As the Screaming Pain Ball teams return to the Bubble Cites, how will Queen Mob spice up her next tournament? Let's get our heads in the game, leap into I Heart Skull-Crusher #6, and find out!

 

Story

In Josie Campbell's story, Queen Mob poisoned one of her empire’s few remaining lakes. As the teams battled in an immense arena, she dropped sections of the grandstands into the poisoned lake and drowned Crater Town. But as she slays her subjects, Queen Mob looks toward the future. She pits the tyrants of the bubble cities against each other while seeking a worthy successor.

 

Trini reminds herself that, with Coach Blood-Bone's help, she welded her teammates into a well-oiled machine. As she joins the Goalie Deckard, Second Striker Huxley, and First Defender Trish for the ride back to Queen Mob’s Capital Dome, she vows to forge friendships with her new teammates. But her new captain, Marcus Mob, squashes that idea quickly. Trini made him look bad when Podunk Lil Team defeated the Bubble City Bullets. Queen Mob disowned Marcus when he tried to overrule her decision to let Podunk Lil Team win the championship. As they compete against the other bubble cities in Queen Mob’s new tournament, Marcus has one rule: no one befriends Trini. But he and Trini discover that everything revolves around Skull-Crusher. And just as Queen Mob likes surprises, the team will get another surprise player in I Heart Skull-Crusher #6.

 

While Trini loved the bandit twins and Dave The Mutant Bear-Man, she misses Cutter Dan most. As she grew up alone, with only the skulls she dubbed Mother and Father, Screaming Pain Ball became her world. But the life of a sports professional clashes with everything she envisioned. Her teammates will never be her friends, and the rules encourage players to kill each other. While never lowering her guard, Trini must find a way to preserve her love for the game and avoid becoming a cynic like her hero.

 

Art

Alessio Zonno blends postmodern imagery and historic grandeur with comic characters and fanciful caricatures in I Heart Skull-Crusher #6. It's a world of the Haves vs the Have Nots, as Queen Mob’s soldiers pull Trini away from former teammates who stare at a cheering crowd through hologrammatic banners. Trini's soulful eyes peer through the shutters of the four-axle vehicle as the convoy races through the American Waste to Queen Mob's Capitol Dome. Only Skull-Crusher rides solo, wearing a scowl and crossing her arms over her chest, as her motorcycle steers a straight path between the armored trucks.

 

Angel De Santiago fills Trini’s world with bold colors in I Heart Skull-Crusher #6. The green trucks contrast with the glaring yellow American Waste. Inside Trini's transport, swashbuckling Marcus stands before a green and beige trading card listing his statistics and accomplishments. Air rushes through the window shutters, making his black cape trimmed with gold braid flutter and revealing a Londo Calrissian-like blue lining. The light filling each giant Victorian-style dome colors the classic architecture pink and blue while red and pink crowds cheer amid tropical greenery.

 

As Trini and Cutter Dan embrace, Jim Campbell fills white dialogue balloons and colored narrative boxes with small uppercase lettering that grows bold for inflection and enlarges for shouts. Giant letters identify the bubble cities on a map showing the extent of Queen Mob's domain. Sound effects arise as Trini and Cutter Dan fall through the floor, giant dialogue helps us hear the cheering crowd, and music notes adorn a touching song as Dave The Mutant Bear-Man roars amid cherubs and flowers. Thanks to Boom! Studios for providing a copy for review.

 

Final Thoughts

When Queen Mob breaks up Podunk Lil Team, Trini must convince her new team not to kill her friends in I Heart Skull-Crusher #6. Unfortunately, her new teammates include a team captain with an axe to grind and Trini's lifelong idol who wins by any means necessary.

Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider #6 Review

 

Writer: Stephanie Phillips

Artists: Paolo Villanelli

Colorist: Matt Milla

Letterer: Ariana Maher

Cover Artists: Mark Brooks & Audrey Mok

Design & Production: Carlos Lao

Editors: MR Daniel, Jordan D White, Nick Lowe & C B Cebulski

Release Date: October 2, 2024

 

Gwen Stacy’s compassion for Chameleon won her a fan. But the way they hide their identities behind masks and aliases makes the relationship weird. At least Chameleon told Gwen who was gunning for her. Chameleon may have tarnished her hero image, but if Gwen takes out Black Tarantula, perhaps the police will stop hunting her. Can Gwen adopt a new strategy and get her life on Earth-616 back on track? Let's thwip into Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider #6 and find out!

 

Story

Fabian finds Gwen enchanting. Black Tarantula's son plays her game while “bumping” into her in Bear Coffee. Perhaps she connects the dots between the man clad in black leather who wanted to buy her a coffee and the man before her who makes the same offer. Perhaps not. But a social life can wait. After she foiled his bank heist, Black Tarantula sent Chameleon to deal with New York's latest spider hero. Gwen needs to send Black Tarantula back to Rykers before he sends someone else after her. But villains lurk in the shadows. Perhaps she should take a leaf out of their book.

 

Gaining respect from the criminal fraternity gives Gwen the confidence to descend into the shadows in Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider #6. But questioning people in a bar is a skill that doesn’t come naturally. Gwen can disguise her appearance. Still, she lacks the subtlety to get the answers she seeks. Jessica Jones intervenes when Gwen's questions in the Low Life bar raise the villains' threat level. While Jessica admires Gwen’s willingness to try new things, she encourages Gwen to play to her strengths. Their heart-to-heart over pizza helps Gwen relax and envision what life could bring once she gets over this bump in the road. But then, Ouroborus of the Time Variance Authority and Silk also know the soothing power of pizza.

 

Gwen has a lot on her plate (aside from a slice of pepperoni). She wields a strange power she is only learning to understand and control. Her superpowers should have made her a hero. Instead, they have made her hunted, feared, and hated on two worlds. Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider #6 gives Gwen a moment to pause and reflect on the hero she wants to be. But she doesn't have long. Black Tarantula won't back down. And even as Gwen makes a new friend, she seems destined to lose another.

 

 

 

Art

Descend the stairs from the sidewalk and venture inside the Low Life, where a flatscreen nestles among the shelves of bottles behind the bar. More TVs hover at the periphery of the pipe-adorned ceiling, surrounding the patrons with the latest news, weather, and sports. Gwen ventures into the bar clad in a black trench coat. With her white hoodie pulled over her head and a green scarf further obscuring her face, Gwen pulls a wad of green notes from her pocket. The burly bartender in a white tank top appears less than impressed by a secretive, overdressed customer who doesn't order a drink. Shadows fall blue and purple on the patrons as they gather around Gwen in the dimly lit bar. Yet white flares behind Jessica as she steps through the orange door.

 

Gwen’s gray laptop blends with the window frame in the colorful Bear Coffee. The peach and gold sign on the street draws customers inside Bear Coffee’s grand reopening. Pink, purple, and peach balloons mingle among green potted plants and tan loveseats. More balloons cluster near the pink and purple pennants adorning the ceiling. In his gray clothes and trench coat, Fabian seems more attuned to Jessica Jones’ shadowy vibe than Gwen’s usual green, blue, and yellow casual attire. But even though Gwen seems better suited to a colorful, vibrant world, she is testing a new life in the shadows in Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider #6.

 

As Paolo Villanelli and Matt Milla populate inviting settings with compelling characters, Ariana Maher thwips uppercase black letters into white dialogue balloons with long white arrows and places rouge words in white narrative boxes outlined with turquoise. The text grows bold for intonation and enlarges for raised voices. Sound effects accompany a colorful bar brawl and herald an emerging arachnid threat amid pages steeped in blue, purple, and pink. Thanks to Marvel for providing a copy for review.

 

 

 

Final Thoughts

When Gwen begins a new career in the shadows, she makes a new friend and discovers a web of protection in Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider #6.

 

Rating 9.4/10

I Can Count To Ten Preview

 

This is a wickedly fun book that takes masquerades as a children's book. I've read the first twenty pages and they just flew by! Can't wait to read the rest and share my thoughts with you! Here's all the info from Titan Comics!

I CAN COUNT TO TEN

Author/Illustrator: Roman Dirge

Publisher: Titan Comics

HC, 64 pages, FC, $19.99

ISBN: 9781787743830

On sale October 8, 2024

 

HANDS DOWN, THE FUNNIEST BOOK OF THE DECADE!

From the twisted imagination of Roman Dirge, the Michelangelo of the macabre comes this, his latest magnificent masterpiece – I CAN COUNT TO TEN, the first non-children’s book for adults.

 

ROMAN DIRGE’S UNIQUE BRAND OF HUMOR SPAWNED THE SUBGENRE FOR CUTE GIRL GOTHIC HORROR/HUMOR.

If you loved Roman Dirge’s unique, anarchic and counter-culture cult classic LENORE: THE CUTE LITTLE DEAD GIRL, then get ready for his greatest book yet!

 

Presented as a child’s primer book for maths, I Can Count to Ten is without doubt the single most completely useless teaching aid for anyone looking for a book to teach them how to count to ten. What starts as the cutest counting book in the history of education, soon descends spectacularly into the single goriest, bloodiest, and funniest non-teaching aid EVER, that somehow manages to shoehorn in a sinister government conspiracy and an alien invasion into a gentle tale of a bunch of loveable numbers introducing themselves in order.

 

Genius is a word bandied about a lot, but what Roman has done here is nothing less than pure genius, creating a genuinely funny belly-laugh of a book that will have any reader crying with laughter.

 

Here's a preview of the interior art:

 

 

 

I Can Count To Ten is on sale October 8, 2024 at bookstores, comic shops and digital.

Creepshow Vol 3 #1 Review

 

Writers: Chip Zdarsky & James Stokoe

Artists: Kagan McLeod & James Stokoe

Letterers: Pat Brosseau & James Stokoe

Cover Artists: Martín Morazzo & Chris O’Halloran; James Stokoe; Steve Beach

Editor: Ben Abernathy

Designer: Jillian Crab

Production: Richard Mercado

Masters Of Horror: Greg Nicotero & Brian Witten

Additional Creep Art: Michael Broom

Publisher: Image Comics

Price: $3.99

Release Date: September 25, 2024

 

Stories remind us of our communal past and teach us how to function within society. But what happens when we embrace stories that break the strictures we live by? Let’s grab our paint sets and carving tools, leap into Creepshow Vol 3 #1, and see!

 

Story: Let ‘Er Trip

Jane Miller craves order and calm. She suppresses her imagination and discourages creativity. So when Jane's daughter Mary grows up and leaves home, Jane gets angry. Naturally, the police refuse to help. They're just like her coworkers in the office, who only obey the rules when it suits them and don't understand how society should function. Chip Zdarsky’s story in Creepshow Vol 3 #1 ponders what happens when we violate another person’s right to view the world in the way they choose. It’s easy to belittle those who refuse to see things our way. But those who bind themselves in the heaviest chains may do so for a reason.

 

Art: Let ‘Er Trip

When Jane studies her daughter's art, Jane's lips form a line, and she presses her fingers against her head. Then, the first page fast-forwards as Jane slips on her coat to visit the police station. The color of her sweater may have changed, and grey streaks her square-cut brown hair, but she still wears a buttoned-up long-sleeve dress shirt, jeans, and boots. While Jane inhabits a world of textured color, white dots glow in the pink and blue sky above the Higher Heart's old farm buildings and the broken-down school bus. The cult leader may resemble Ben Franklin but doesn't practice the American founder's famous thrift in his red-lit home. Intriguingly, and despite her taste in art, Mary dresses less colorfully than her strait-laced mother.

 

 

Story: Scrimshaw

When a reporter hunts for a story about a remote island, the locals point him toward a lobster potter. In this second tale in Creepshow Vol 3 #1, the reporter finds the man at the Cutty Sark and asks him to share his story. The man seems reluctant but obliges when the reporter insults his town and helps himself to the man's beer. One night, while checking his pots, the lobsterman found a severed arm. Someone had carved a story onto the exposed radius and ulna. The lobsterman’s mind filled with visions of a Navigator fighting a storm to return home.

 

The lobsterman lived alone in his beach shack. He identified with the Navigator’s struggle and couldn’t banish the vision from his head. So, fate rewarded him with another chapter etched into a severed leg. Yet, like Herman Melville's novel Mardi, the Navigator’s seemingly unending tale stoked the fisherman's hunger for more. So, like any captivated reader, the fisherman sought out more chapters about his hero. James Stokoe’s story speaks to our insatiable hunger for a good story and reminds us how stories can usurp reality.

 

Art: Scrimshaw

The Creep hovers over the forested island guarded by a lighthouse. Inside the pub, the reporter extends a hand to the bedraggled lobsterman. In his tale, the lobsterman reaches into his pots and studies a severed arm before a full moon. Waves roil behind him. Tendrils of water fill the air as if the storm-tossed saltwater were transforming into a leviathan. James Stokoe’s red and blue ocean scene evokes blown glass and contrasts with the red-haired lobsterman's nights in the orange pub. In this richly drawn and colored tale, as the lobsterman again searches his pots beneath a green sky, red and blue letters slash diagonally across a panel. When the lobsterman sees a green figure with pink eyes crouching amid purple waves, red and blue briefly obscure the background. An aurora brightens the already colorful sky as the creature tosses the lobsterman a severed leg.

 

Lettering

Pat Brosseau lavishes black, uppercase words in white and colored dialogue balloons and narrative boxes on Let 'Er Trip. Music notes accompany a voice lifted in song in Creepshow Vol 3 #1’s first twisty tale, and the swirls of color filling the air infect the splat-like balloons. James Stokoe’s expressive uppercase letters in Scrimshaw offer a handwritten appeal. The dialogue and narrative range in size, while abundant sound effects heighten the lobsterman’s infectious story. Thanks to Image Comics and Skybound for providing a copy for review.

 

Final Thoughts

People who hunger for more than they need pay for their greed, while those who seek the benefits of conventional society discover a world beyond anything they imagined in Creepshow Vol 3 #1.

 

Rating 9.6/10

Upcoming Series: Little Nightmares: Descent To Nowhere

 

 

Did you enjoy yesterday's news about the forthcoming Dead Space graphic novels? Titan Comics has more game adaptations headed your way. Here's something else to look forward to next year!

 

BANDAI NAMCO ENTERTAINMENT EUROPE AND TITAN COMICS TEAM UP FOR NEW LITTLE NIGHTMARES COMICS -

BASED ON THE HIT VIDEOGAME FRANCHISE!

 

Sneak peek of 2025 release at this year’s New York Comic Con.

 

Titan Comics is excited to announce it is teaming up with Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe to publish a brand-new series of comics in 2025; set in the disturbing world of the successful video game franchise, Little Nightmares.

 

Titan Comics’ Little Nightmares: Descent to Nowhere  Issue #1 is written by Lonnie Nadler (The Sickness, Cable) also known as the showrunner and lead writer for The Sounds of Nightmares, the Little Nightmares podcast, with art by Ringo Award nominated artist Dennis Menheere (Etheres, Beyond Real). The issue will take readers in an investigation story navigating between the Nowhere, a nightmarish world filled with frightening inhabitants, and the Counties, an equivalent to our world. The series will include 4 issues and a graphic novel collection.

 

“It’s been an incredible journey to distill Little Nightmares into the comic medium; Lonnie and Dennis have packed each panel with depth and deeper meaning, for a twisting mystery that’ll leave you haunted and yearning for the next issue.” says Phoebe Hedges, Titan Comics Editor.

 

The comic series launches in comic stores in 2025, but fans attending New York Comic Con 2024 can stop by Bandai Namco’s booth #2419 for an exclusive early preview.

 

Little Nightmares franchise offers a deep universe to discover on different platforms with already 2 console games, a mobile game and a podcast series available.

 

Within this universe each of your childhood fears becomes true. After vanishing without a trace, children wake up in a vast nightmare reality filled with monsters, where survival comes at a cost, and escape is nearly impossible. However, a glimmer of hope remains, full of innocence, the children always seek to find a way out. They can count on their curiosity and ingenuity to escape various monstruous threats and solve puzzles and mysteries.

 

The first game in the series was released in 2017. After this success, the franchise was exported to the mobile platform with Very Little Nightmares, before returning to its origins, on all platforms (Sony, Xbox, PC, Nintendo) with Little Nightmares II in 2021. But the adventure does not stop here, Little Nightmares III has been announced for 2025 and introduces two new characters, trying to find a way out of the Nowhere. For the first time in the franchise, the game introduces a long-awaited feature: online co-operation for two players!

 

The franchise also expanded on audio streaming platforms with a popular, award-winning audio fiction series, The Sounds of Nightmares, which launched in August 2023. This eerie psychological thriller podcast was the first story to introduce the world of The Counties to the Little Nightmares community and has been successful hitting 2 million listenings worldwide.

 

Look for more announcements of the new Little Nightmares comic series very shortly!

I'm familiar with Bandai Namco's terrific models. I hadn't realized they created games. But then, my taste in games is more akin to the one I hinted at in my review of Blade Runner Tokyo Nexus #3. Still, I look forward to seeing the new series! Thanks to Titan Comics for sharing this exciting news with us!

Deadpool #7 Review

 

Writer: Cody Ziglar & Alexis Quasarano

Artist: Andrea Di Vito

Colorist: Guru-eFX

Letterer: Joe Sabino

Cover Artists: Taurin Clarke; Mark Bagley & Edgar Delgado; Amanda Conner & Edgar Delgado; Scott Koblish & Jesus Aburtov; Peach Momoko

Graphic Designer: Kat Walkington

Editors: Drew Baumgartner & MR Daniel; Mark Basso & Ellie Pyle; CB Cebulski

Publisher: Marvel

Price: $3.99

Release Date: October 2, 2024

 

Deadpool is dead. His body lies in the conference room. At least, all the bits that Death Grip lopped off are there. Deadpool always wanted to be the guy in the chair, but Deadpool & Daughters, LLC, needs someone to call the shots while their leader rests in pieces. Can Ellie and Princess assume all the field duties while Taskmaster ensures sufficient cash flow to keep the office rats in fresh water and throw the weekly pizza party? Let's leap into Deadpool #7 and find out!

 

Story

Ellie is acting out. She’s ignoring orders and violating Daddy's No Killing rule. But then, Daddy's not around anymore, and Task-Daddy’s laissez-faire management style during the Arseni Angeloff affair failed to impress her. Taskmaster understands Ellie's anger. But for him to stick around as the Interim CEO and CFO, Deadpool & Daughters, LLC needs income to purchase weapons and give them another shot at Death Grip. 

 

 

 

The entire concept of death comes under review in Deadpool #7. Wade Wilson may no longer breathe, but neither does his body decay. Ellie’s healing factor helps her recover from wounds that would kill others. Her recuperative abilities enhance her brain functions, making her a super student. Ellie learned how to teleport by watching internet videos. So now she's watching Agatha Harkness (or another purple-clad witch) on New Toobe in the hopes of resurrecting her father. Taskmaster warns Ellie against the dangers of obsessing over bringing the dead back to life. Ellie is young, so perhaps that explains her ignoring Mary Shelley's warnings. Besides, it's not as if Ellie can resurrect the dead responsibly like the Scarlet Witch. 

 

 

 

While people may compare Spider-Man with Deadpool, Cody Ziglar & Alexis Quasarano’s story highlights the difference between heroes and antiheroes. Taskmaster isn’t sending Ellie and her symbiote canine sister to steal a briefcase from a villain. Instead, he proposes they steal money from a biotech research firm. Taskmaster implies that stealing from a shell company is okay, as people often create them to launder money, avoid taxes, or shield their activities from public scrutiny. Ellie and Princess embrace the idea enthusiastically. But then, teenagers are scary, right?

 

 

Art

Ellie charges fearlessly into the fray on a rooftop, taking down gun-toting baddies before hurtling down a fire escape. Andrea Di Vito captures the action with time-lapse photography until Ellie reaches the street in Deadpool #7. Ellie braves pistols, rifles, and a rocket launcher while confronting baddies who should clean up their language. But questioning a foul-mouthed villain proves unnecessary thanks to a grenade down the tank top and a tail-fling into the sky. It's not purple rain, but the red shower refreshes, nonetheless.

 

 

 

Princesses' pink tongue also renews Ellie's spirits as she texts her dead dad on a blue cellphone screen. Watching a purple-clad witch on her red phone also makes Ellie smile. But trouble brews when they teleport to a forest-green building illuminated by fern-green windows. Guru-eFX’s white lightning and rain streak the blue evening sky as red, black, and brown Ellie and magenta Princess prepare to ascend the steep grassy rise and enter Chemocorp.

 

 

 

Joe Sabino pulls out all the stops in Deadpool #7. Commentary appears in pink narrative boxes and white ones bordered with pink or blue-and-yellow. White balloons feature uppercase black text, while red ones feature Princesses’ distinctive white font. The dialogue rarely shrinks or grows bold, while yellow arrows highlight Deadpool’s daughters practicing restraint. Pink music notes suggest Ellie is taking her cues from Starlord and Baby Groot, and red letters remind us of Princess' canine nature. Colorful sound effects enhance workplace destruction and people firing laser beams with their eyes. But then, how else can one diffuse contentious office encounters? Thanks to Marvel for providing a copy for review.

 

 

 

Final Thoughts

After Daddy’s dismemberment and death, Ellie is killing time and people, Taskmaster sends juveniles to commit Grand Larceny, and Princess catches a scent that makes her happy in Deadpool #7.

 

Rating 9.4/10
