MARTIANS VS. UNICORNS fundraising kicks off

By pghhead -

EDITOR’S NOTE:   Sooner or later, we knew some creator would get around to writing a parody of MY LITTLE PONY.  This is as close as it gets.  If you want to get in on the fun, see the details below . . . . . .

FROM THE DARK MATTER press release . . . . .

Finally! A comic that answers the age-old question: 

What if unicorns "accidentally" killed all the life on Mars and that's why it's a barren lifeless wasteland today?  

Last year writer James R. Tramontana released Vikings vs. Unicorns, a comic that laid the framework for a long hidden truth: unicorns are evil bastards. 
Now's your chance to find out what happened BEFORE the unicorns came to Earth. 

A new Kickstarter has launched today for Martians vs. Unicorns! Rewards range from $1 for a thank you to $250 for two pages of original penciled/inked artwork from the comic. In between are rewards for digital/print comics, t-shirts, stickers and more. All bursting with technicolor bloody awesomeness.

View the details on the campaign at:  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/solidjim/martians-vs-unicorns?ref=project_tweet
 

Early Bird Reward For First Week

Starting today there is an early bird special reward where you can get the print edition for just $5! 

This ain't no kids' comic.

This is a foul-mouthed violent satirical hayride dripping with the blood of slaughtered innocents. Fun!

Robert Kirkman: Invincible, Walking Dead, Wolf-Man

I wasn't actually a huge fan of Robert Kirkman when I first started reading his books.  He was competent, sure, but I didn't see the appeal-- The Irredeemable Ant-Man was a boring side story in the middle of  Civil War and  The Initiative (although I've since changed my mind about this), and his  Ultimate X-Men run was, in many places, a mixed bag (although I did very much enjoy his "Phoenix?" storyline).  And  Marvel Zombies  just seemed like a ridiculous idea--not that I bothered to try it at the time. Now, though?  I've completely reevaluated my opinion on his work, and when his name is attached to a project, I'm far more likely to give it a look.  I don't know if I'd classify him as a master storyteller or a comics icon--but he's very skilled, he has an incredible knack for dialog, and he writes stories that, no matter how ridiculous, seem real .  In a medium where characters frequently violate the rules of physics, that's not alway

What else did I finish reading last month?  Here’s a cross-section of various titles . . . . . . . . . WITCHBLADE #126 “War Of The Witchblade Part 2” by Ron Marz and Stejepan Sejic  (Top Cow/Image) Preface:  Now here’s an interesting concept! = In order to attract new readers to its’ titles Top Cow is giving out free books each month as part of it’s Let Us Win You Over project.  ( www.topcow.com/freecomics )  Every month it’s a different title. And they work through different comics shops each month as well.  In April the title was Witchblade #126 and one of the participating dealers was Captain Blue Hen Comics in Newark, DE (my preferred supplier) so voila! - - - I find a copy in my hands. Since the last time I explored the Witchblade series the mythology has expanded to a battle between the forces of light and dark with each side choosing its agents on Earth, hence the Darkness vs. the Witchblade.  I’m still not overly interested in this type of fare on a regular basis, but

INDIE COMICS: Huffin’ & puffin’ B.B. Wolf’s got the blues

BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPs  (Top Shelf, May 2010 hardcover, black & white, 86 pages,   $12.95)  As told by JD Arnold with illustrations by Richard Koslowski What got my attention immediately was the pairing up of a classic fairy tale with musical motifs.  That’s a combination that pushes two of my “hot buttons” - -  so I made it a must-read.  I was not disappointed.  This is a very entertaining and cleverly designed work that rivals Bill Willingham’s  creativity on the long-running FABLES series from Vertigo. As if taking the classic tale of the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs and turning it upside down wasn’t enough to interest, BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPS  serves as an allegory for the oppression of  the black population in the deep South (Mississippi) in the 1920’s.  While they may be free (wolves),  the governing bodies (pigs) have the power to deny them their land, homes and possessions and even own the businesses and clubs they patronize as well as the shops they d
