as promised, a few reviews of some stuff i got at comic con. this is just the beginning.

lava punch: first launch - a compilation of comics from different artists. a mixtape of comics if you will. i liked some of the comics in this, but not all. it’s a fun little read. and there is a comic about a girl who has a conjoined twin who has to be removed and then returns from the dead to kill the people she loves. and how can you turn that down?

serenity: those left behind (dark horse) -  the comic. i’m usually not one for a comic post-television show or post-movie, but i was such a big serenity fan that i decided to give it a chance. i forgot some of the characters so i was a little confused, but overall, a good continuation. apparently the screen-to-comic works in the whedon world (ala buffy the vampire slayer - which has turned out to be a brilliant series).

hack/slash: first cut (devil’s due publishing) - a girl who escapes a horror movie-type situation to turn around and hunt serial killers, monsters, slashers, etc. i had never read this but i’m now a huge fan. a great premise. i can’t wait to read the rest of them.

i’m not too familiar with devil’s due as a publishing company. i liked the first issue of rest. so any input people have on the subject would be cool.
