THE LOUD HOUSE #1: "THERE WILL BE CHAOS"

ON SALE MAY 9th!

EDITOR’S NOTE:  We continue our infrequent spotlight on new comics that may be of interest to younger readers.  More from our friends at Papercutz . . . . .

     This Spring, Papercutz will be releasing THE LOUD HOUSE #1, based on Nickelodeon’s insanely popular, number-one-rated cartoon. That’s right, Nickelodeon’s newest hit show is our newest hit comic!

     If you’re not familiar with the series, The Loud House follows 11-year-old Lincoln as he learns to live (and survive) in the chaos of a large family, especially as the only boy with 10 sisters. With his best bud Clyde, Lincoln always comes up with a plan to stay one step ahead of the chaos, but whether or not it works is where the adventures begin.

THE LOUD HOUSE #1: "There Will Be Chaos" features stories and artwork from show creator Chris Savino and his insanely talented team. In “Video Game Mojo,” Lincoln experiences a crushing gaming defeat at the hands of a mysterious challenger. In “Loud and Order,” Lana and Lola, pretending to be police officers, arrest Lincoln for speeding in the kitchen, and then put him on trial. And in the wildly inventive “Lost Control,” a choose-your-own-adventure style tale, Lincoln must go through the gauntlet of sisters in order to find the television remote. 

Filled with the same zaniness and hilarity as the show, THE LOUD HOUSE graphic novel series is sure to appeal to both fans and newbies alike. Now let’s make some noise for THE LOUD HOUSE #1!

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 typ...

Meeting writer Lance Parkin . . . . .

THE AUTHOR SIGNINGS AT CAPTAIN BLUE HEN COMICS 11/07/2009 Opportunities to meet authors, chat with them and ask questions in relaxed and casual surroundings don’t occur often. So, it was a real treat to be introduced to three separate writers on the same day, at the same location. I opted to ask all three writers (Greg Cox, Lance Parkin and Dave Thompson) the same opening question: At what point did you decide to pursue what you do as a career? The early ambition of Lance Parkin was to be a journalist but he became disillusioned as he learned more about the position and didn’t pursue it. He was an early and forever fan of Doctor Who and loved the novelizations. At the age of 23 he thought to himself “I can do the same thing. I can write as well as this.” At that time Virgin (the publisher) were putting out two Doctor Who novels per month and were looking for more writers. They were willing to accept unsolicited submittals ...
