Godzilla in Hell (#2)

In this issue, we are given a little bit of storytelling as we find out that Godzilla is NOT dead but, facing different challenges. Along with those challenges, he is running into old foes that you may have seen from the many movies that he has starred along the way. Again, the art is fantastic along with the story as there is so much happening that you almost don't need any words to tell the story with. Great work so far in this miniseries as the King battles in the place of the forgotten.

Godzilla in Hell (#1)

So, I will preface this by saying that I have never read any of the IDW Godzilla series but, after this issue, I may have to start! When I saw this, the title was too good to pass out...Godzilla in Hell! I mean, the possibilities are endless! In this first issue, there is no story telling, the action just speaks for itself as the King of Monsters is trust through different levels of Hell meeting one horror after another. The art is fantastic as I cannot wait to see what happens to the world's most famous Kaiju next.

Escape from New York (#10)

So, Snake is back in New York looking to off the Duke who puts a bounty on this head. After an unlikely alliance we find Snake some place he doesn't want to be as he is looking to off the Duke once and for all who is actually the president. There is a lot going on and the art is do be desired but, the story is solid. Fans of the original movies will find lots to love in these pages as Snake looks to bring New York into ruin once again.

Big Troublle in Little China (#16)

So, Jack Burton has got Ol' Pork Chop back, there is a dead millionaire, the A-Team wannabes are dead (I think?) there is a mess in Little China and, I honestly got a little confused by the ending as this issue brings us to the beginning of the current story line. I had to re-read it to see what was happening but, it is not bad. However, it is not great either. At this point, I am curious if they can regain the momentum that they had with the original run based off the John Carpenter script and art by Eric Powell. Maybe they should have ended it there but I hope not as they have now entered another story line. I hope it is an improvement instead of just another reason to drag it on until someone pulls the plug.

Constantine: The Hellblazer (#4)

So here, we have an intoxicated Constantine remembering the girl who got away and is just fed up with his life in general. After the news from the previous issue, he is hurting to the point that he serves his dead friends up on a platter for whatever is after him to find some shocking truth in the end. The series is great so far as there is so much going on. A massive improvement over the New 52 Constantine as the grit is all there from the original Hellblazer series. I honestly cannot wait to see where all this heads to as it is one twist after another as long time fans will find plenty so smile about with this current story.

Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. 1952 (#5)

Sometimes, I get a book and I think I am waiting for the issue previous to it to read it when I already had it AND read it. Does this make sense to you? It does to me and that is whey it has taken so long to read the conclusion of Hellboy and his first mission for the B.P.R.D. Here, we have the battle with a familiar foe, we find out a little more about Bob, the girl from the B.P.R.D. series steps in and all is well in the land as Hellboy obtains his honorary human status. There is the first time he yells "BOOM" here when punching a monster, a monkey makes off with the head of a Nazi and yea, just all in a day's work for Mignola and the gang as they deliver an awesome story. I am liking this hole, I guess you can say, origins thing that they are doing showing Hellboy through the years as this is supposed to lead to when we were actually first introduced to him and the murder of the professor. Long time fans of Big Red will find much to love in this series and, if you cannot grab the originals, I am pretty sure a TPB is not far behind in the near future. Dark Horse is pretty good at that.

Evil Dead 2: Tales of the Ex-Mortis (#1)

So, here we have stories outside of Ash about the adventures of others with the book of the dead under the Evil Dead 2 banner. In these 4 stories they range from caution to flat out laughs that make the book entertaining. Even the little segments that just has the book breaking through the barrier to talk to fans is good. Fans may like the stories of the book in the hands of others while many will snub it based on the fact that S-Mart's favorite employ is M.I.A. in this book. Don't judge it soely based on that. The stories are good and the art is fantastic. Give this book a shot if you are a fan like me.
