Friday Reading – Ignition City

Ignition City TpIt’s Friday and what better way to roll into the weekend is there than having a fantastic comic book series to read over the weekend.  Today we are discussing one of my all-time favorites – a Warren Ellis series that should appeal to both fans of classic pulps and to Firefly/Serenity collectors.

This is Ellis at his very best.  Where do all the old pulp heroes go when they are old and their glory days are behind them?  To Ignition City – the last spaceport and graveyard of the great swashbuckling pilots and adventurers.  Mary Raven has come in search of the man that killed her father.  And the outlaws that still stain the town have her in their sights.  This is Ellis redefining genres at his best and a true must read series.

You can find the trade paperback collection at your local comic shop, on Amazon, or at ComCav.net.

An Avatar Halloween – Crossed Wish You Were Here

CrossedWYWHVol1TPBJust a few days left until Halloween is here.  And as comic fans look around for the perfect stories to read during this spookiest of seasons, we’ve been revisiting some classics that will run a chill down your spine.

CrossedWYWHvol4TPBToday we return to Simon Spurrier’s long form Crossed tale, Wish You Were Here.  The story revolves around Shaky, a “nice guy” just trying to get by with a group of uninfected secretly surviving the apocalypse on an island.  The brilliance of this story is the slow burn unravel of who and what Shaky has done in the past as that eventually comes to haunt him in the present.  The story is harsh and uncompromising.  And the horror is not only of the Crossed’s doing.  This is a true horror drama that will leave a lasting mark on you.

Check out all four volumes of Crossed: Wish You Were Here at your local comic shop, on Amazon, or at ComiXology & ComCav.net.
