The Spirit (#2)

So, after heading to his hideout, the good detectives go through his rogue gallery to see who could have gotten to the Spirit, or at the very least, who can give them some answer. Elsewhere, the current head of police is pissed that his future replacement is taking all the credit for his work. We get to relive one of his earlier cases but,  the answer stands, where is the Spirit? Again, he doesn't appear in this book but, it works. They are building up everything so, when he does appear, there is much more then him going after bad guys as everyone around him has something going on.

The Spirit (#1)

Due to back orders, I had to wait for issue one and two before I could read and review the other issues in the series. I was introduced to the character when I found his movie at Blockbuster for cheap (to my younger readers, I am not give you a history lesson on what that is!) and really enjoyed it. However, I'd continually mix him up to the Shadow and kinda lost track of him and his adventures from time to time. This new story begins 2 years after the disappearance or death (not sure) of the Spirit and the city is up for a lot of change while still asking what happened to him. Now, with 2 friends looking for him, will we finally get an answer? The story and art are great taking you back to the 30s and 40s with he look, language and feel while not having he title character appear at all. There is a mini retelling of the origin story for new readers and a bit of humor. There is a lot happening as you are sucked into the story that leaves you wanting to read more!

LET'S HELP HIM OUT!

The guy does some awesome work, help him out as much as you can here! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/empire-embroidery-rebuilding-an-empire#/

The Mutant Members Only Club - Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Wop

Need something a little lighthearted and just fun? Well, you don't need to fall in love with terrorist! You just need to check out the new offering from The Mutant Members Only Club! He is just awesome and the music he creates is just fun and real! It is hard to explain the music if you don't check it out! So, don't hate on Satan and check out this new collection of songs as it is perfect for listening to while drinking blood on the beach! Yes, all this new music has me excited and you should be to....so give him a listen! You'll thank me later.

The Bastards - Out of the Grave

Well, look what has crawled out from the grave to give us an album of all new material. That's right folks, the Bastards are back with this new offering that gives you that soothing acoustic Horror Rock you need after a long night of digging up graves looking for that perfect someone. From the slab, we get some awesome songs, leaving victims laying in their wake with these 13 tracks. All jokes aside, standouts include "Off the Slab", "The Sacrifice", my personal favorite and the track that just beyond kicks ass "Grey", "The Night She Came Back", "Out of the Grave" featuring the amazing Mutant Member Tom, "These Walls", "Everything Dies", "I Hate Being Me", "Hell Comes Home", "Bury You", "Raising Hell" and "Victims". So, stop your skinny dipping and sleeping upside down! Get a copy of this album to listen to, you won't be sorry!

Escape from New York (#15)

Snake and company are not going out without a fight and, if he falls, he plans on bringing the country with him! With one issue left, the action is picking up as it all comes to a head with the new president in the final issue. Why don't the United States learn and just leave Snake alone? Who knows! But it does make for great entertainment for fans of the franchise.

Constantine: The Hellblazer (#10)

Well, John made it out of one hell and landed in another. After getting out as only John cans, New York has gone to hell! Oh! And he may not be the only one getting out! This story just adds so much dynamic as there are so many stories and plots happening that you know it will all come crashing down on John if he's not careful. I like where this is going as John pushes people away to keep them safe while other problems arise that will no doubt have him acting like Batman and having to save the world...again. As long as DC doesn't screw this up, they got gold on their hands with Constantine as a character as he can do so much story wise.
