Ghostbusters: Answer the Call (#1)

Well, after reading this issue, I am staring to like the characters of the new Ghostbusters much more then I did before. This issue is very entertaining and funny along with some shock and awe. The art is very well done and the writing does make you love these characters much more even though they are not the originals. Yes there is a lot happening with a possession and a ghost unleashed on New York but, when you have to, I think you know who is going to be called to clean up the mess they created.

Glitterbomb: The Fame Game (#2)

Well, in a world where fame can happen in a second and your 15 minutes can truly be only 15 minutes, we find a teenager living in this while her ex-employer has been busier then some would have thought. There is more setting up as to where there is leading too or where it could lead to. In a sense, there are more questions then answers and I am not sure entirely how I feel with this issue. I want to read on but, I also don't want to at the same time. I want to see how all of this turns out but, at the same time, I don't. It's an issue that pushes some buttons and has you on the fence overall. Guess we'll see if I stick with it.

Hellblazer (#15)

Well, Constantine manages to do it again as only he can and you have to read it to get what I am talking about. Yes, it involves drinking but, how he does it goes deeper then that. Overall, the story was good and well done by DC as this classic character is getting the attention that he deserves instead of being tossed around like a second tier character. There are laughs and there is gore but it's a book staring John Constantine; could you ask for more?

Ash Vs. The Army of Darkness (#4)

Well, it's homecoming and there are some unwanted evil guests who have decided to drop by and see their old friend Ash. There are more answers in this issue then in the previous issues as I think that they are gearing up for the conclusion. The team at Dynamite continue to do a great job with this license with both the art and story that always keep long time fans happy. So hail to the king baby as things are about to get really messy really soon.

Vampira: Dark Goddess of Horror by W. Scott Poole

In our world, there are 2 dream ghouls; Vampira and Elvira. Two figures locked into history together but that is another story for another time. Vampira is one of the most beloved figures in the Horror society but; not much is known about her and her life. There isn't even footage left from her show for us to see. In this book, we get a glimpse at the her life, impact, career and the world around her. At times it reads much like a sociology essay when explains the world she grew up in as well as the world that she decided to unleash her monster on. That is not to say that it is boring as one must understand why they buried her alive in a sense as history wanted to get rid of her but, the monster continues to rise time and time again. In the end, this is a must read for any Horror fan as she is such a fascinating character and human being but, with not much being known about her, this may answer some questions though some will remain as so much has been lost to history or erased entirely. This is her chance to come out of the shadows and into the light where she belongs.

The Brickbats - Sing You Dead

They may have been around for a while but now we have an AWESOME quality version of the Brickbats debut. If you are like me, you may have discovered the band through Mister Monster main man Jason Trixion (who was also at one time a member of the band) and have had to suffer with some crappy sounding mp3s of their material. But, that speaks to the quality of the material itself as it sounded like it was copied from a cassette! The songs now have gotten a sound upgrade and it just improves the material immensely. If you haven't heard these songs yet, you need to rectify that right now! No excuses anymore as the Brickbats show you why they are legends in what they do!

Siblings of Samhain - Dark, Dead and Deranged

This Horror acoustic duo from the UK are causing waves on both sides of the pond and those waves, I will say, are justified! After listening to their debut I am floored and want more as 4 songs are just too little! The sample size is so small and the taste that they gives us just wets the appetite for what is bound to come. There is a lot of promise on this EP and I cannot wait to hear what they have coming along in the future. Trust ol' Jekyll when he tells you to keep an eye on them in the future, you'll be glad you did!
