Written and Illustrated by by Martí Riera Ferrer Introduction by Art Spiegelman Translated by Andrea RosenbergPublished by FantagraphicsI have to confess that I have been trying for a really long time to get into this book. I have heard from many people that it is a book that is “right up my alley.”Part of the reason it’s been so hard for me to get through is because I haven’t been able to find a good enough copy to read.

Written by Kieron Gillen Art by Caspar WijngaardPublished by Image ComicsI have to say that I haven’t read too many comic books from either of these creators. I have read their major works (The Wicked and the Divine and Home Sick Pilots), but haven’t read much beyond. They both are solid creators but they both never really appealed to me. With that, I decided to check out their newest work that they collaborated on. It sounded interesting enough.

Written and Illustrated by Jeff LemirePublished by Image ComicsWriter and artist Jeff Lemire is still one of the most creative and thrilling creators in the comic book industry. His creativity really knows no bounds. He can do everything from writing, to drawing, to lettering and coloring and even painting. He also can work for the Big Two and then work on creator owned titles. This is one of his more recent creator owned titles and it is a good one.

Written by Landry Q. WalkerArt by Justin Greenwood,Brad Simpson, Pat BrosseauPublished by Dark Horse ComicsArtist Justin Greenwood is certainly making a name for himself with his artwork these days. Every time I open up a comic book that he has drawn, it is something really great. This book is no different. It is a strong book with plenty of horror to it that is right up my alley. I loved every second of it and each page had something new and exciting to it.

When I was a kid, I never imagined that we would one day have a Spider-Man movie. Heck, I remembered buying Comics Scene magazine and poring at all of the rumors. Well, we did eventually get that Spider-Man movie. And we got a lot of them with more to come. Then, the geniuses over at Sony tried to do their own thing, first with Venom. Venom was a huge hit for Sony and the movies are fun entertainment.

Written by Dave Cook Art by Clark Bint, Craig PatonPublished by Titan ComicsThis was an interesting surprise. I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book and was going in without reading a thing about it. The cover looked interesting enough and I figured I would give it a shot. I couldn’t believe how well developed the world was just from the very beginning. The details that this book has is quite excellent. It is a strong and unique book that I can honestly say is very original.

Selected and introduced by Jenette KahnForeword by Marjorie LiuPublished by The Folio SocietyThe Folio Society always produced books that have high quality reproductions of classic comics and the presentation is always top notch. I do love seeing the comics that they choose to include in their collections presented this way. It is a great thing to see the stories that I remember reading given the deluxe format.

Written By James Tynion IV Art by Joshua HixsonPublished by Image ComicsI really love this creative team. Writer James Tynion IV and artist Joshua Hixson are absolutely a wonderful collaborators and this horror fueled book is truly something excellent. I love what they accomplish here, and I have to say that I am impressed with the absolutely original premise. It is well thought out and well executed. The only problem that I have with the book is that this first volume is way, way too short.

Written by Kieron Gillen Art by Stephanie HansPublished by Image ComicsI went into this one completely blind. I had never even heard of this book before cracking it open. I had read some books before that were written by Kieron Gillen and I enjoyed them enough. And Stephanie Hans always has done some pretty strong artwork with each book that she’s on. With two solid creators like this, I figured that I would give this book a look.

Written by James Tynion IVArt by Martin Simmonds and VariousPublished by Image ComicsThis book has always been one of the more interesting original creations by James Tynion IV with collaborator Martin Simmonds. It has a very accessible story to the whole thing that makes it easy to dive in. Plus, it has an ongoing mythology to the book as well. Basically, it is an updated and newer and sleeker version of the X-Files with very strong and powerful stories that never let up.
