Light Week? Try LOCKE & KEY: GRINDHOUSE, PETER PANZERFAUST VOL. 1, & AVENGING SPIDER-MAN #11

The sea was angry that day, my friends – like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli. I got about fifty feet out and suddenly the great beast appeared before me. I tell you he was ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence, he let out a great bellow. I said, “Easy, big fella!” And then, as I watched him struggling, I realized that something was obstructing its breathing. From where I was standing, I could see directly into the eye of the great fish. Well then, from out of nowhere, a huge tidal wave lifted me, tossed me like a cork, and I found myself right on top of him – face to face with the blowhole. I could barely see from the waves crashing down upon me but I knew something was there. So I reached my hand in, felt around, and pulled out the comics.

Locke & Key: Grindhouse

By Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez

You’ve heard about Locke & Key, yes? You’ve thought about trying it out? Here’s your chance, with this one shot stand alone story, that we’re promised is very violent. What’s nice about this one is that it’s the full creative team of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez, just like the regular book. Try it out, and don’t get mad at me if you want some more.

Peter Panzerfaust, Vol. 1: The Great Escape

By Kurtis J. Wiebe & Tyler Jenkins

There’s no doubt that right now Image Comics is the place to be for exciting creativity in comic books. And amongst your Sagas and The Manhattan Projects is one of my favorites: Peter Panzerfaust. This story of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys in WWII France trying to survive the Nazi invasion is fast paced, fun, and completely unexpected. It may be a variation on Peter Pan, but make no mistake–this is a straight up war comic. And a great one at that. Here’s your chance to see what all the fuss is about in a pretty cheap introductory collection.

Avenging Spider-Man #11

By Zeb Wells & Steve Dillon

Avenging Spider-Man has been a “your mileage may vary” kind of book. Some stories have been brilliant, some have been forgettable and then there was the one Greg Land drew.  But trust me True Believers, with Spider-Man’s 50th anniversary celebrations gaining momentum, this issue is indeed the real deal and a must read for any Spider-Man fan. Plus, Steve Dillon. That’ll get me any time.
