Ghostbusters: Get Real (#3)

So, after a trip to the "real" dimension that brought on some revelations to the movie Ghostbusters (like the fact that they have a pet ghost that they named and Janine's voice is similar), they find out just who is chasing them as he sends the hound after them to sniff them out. The issue ends with the final issue that concludes the series next month. There are plenty of laughs to be had and the art by Schoening is amazing. As well, long time fans will find plenty to enjoy in these stories overall because I know I am!

In Memoriam: Wes Craven

Today, one of the most inspirational and greatest directors has left us with the passing of one of the masters of horror, Wes Craven. Films as iconic as Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream have redefined the genre in how we look at films. As well, think about the characters he has created and introduced us to. Think about the genre without Freddy or any of his iconic characters. I am telling you, it's a world I don't even want to think about. I am still shocked about the news overall! A man this iconic and one that has inspired so many people is now gone. He is actually one of the few directors that I will buy a movie of based on his name alone being listed under director. That is because that, I know, no matter how bad a movie may be in the hands of another, in his hands (and a few others) they may be entertaining and enjoyable. So, goodbye Mr. Craven as you will be missed. Know that your movies and characters will continue to not only cause nightmares for some but inspire many more to create. 

Big Trouble in Little China (#15)

Okay, the post Eric Powell and John Carpenter issues are not pulling any punches or taking themselves seriously at all. They are fun and light hearted that will have you laughing in all the right places. Though I am not big on the art (especially the way they draw Jack Burton) the story itself is pretty good and has fully dispelled any worries I had. Good on you guys!

Puppet Master (#5)

So Toulon and his friends are finally free of thier wooden prison and rejoined the land of flesh and bones. However, not all seems to be right as there appears to be a twist! These stories keep getting better as it evolves making reference to past movies along with awesome art. For fans, there is so much to love here! If you are not, what are you waiting for?

Hellboy in Hell (#7)

After a long wait, Hellboy and his adventures in Hell continue as he's very sick and has a fever dream about the world he left behind. This is classic Hellboy in that there is a lot going on in these pages as each story will flow into the next. I am really happy with the story so far I just hate the wait between issues. I mean, WHY MUST I WAIT SO LONG!? That is the way it goes I guess though. However, they are always worth the wait when they finally arrive.

Gotham by Midnight (#8)

So, there is a show turning people against each other, IA is coming down hard on the midnight shift and the doctor things he may finally have an answer for the flowers that keeps popping up all over! The story is starting to get intense and really shaping up nicely. The next issue seems like it will expand the story further and, as a fan of this series, I can't wait to read the next issue.

Escape from New York (#9)

So, with my 200th comic review, I review the new issue of Escape from New York. Snake is in Canada before he heads down to New York as the story, thus far, comes full circle with the original film. The story, with the twist, is pretty good and the art, as you can see there was a change in artist, is pretty good. I prefer the original artist though as it made Snake look like Kurt Russell then he does now. Now, let's see where the story heads next and,  if it will take us to Los Angeles too.
