EDITOR’S NOTE: I’ve been following the growth of this independent publisher of horror for more than one year now, and their books continue to impress me.  Here’s a chance to help support their aggressive 2018 schedule and grab some cool rewards.  Please take a minute to check out the link below.  Here’s more on the subject from Crystal Lake CEO Joe Mynhardt . . . . . .

Hi, folks.
 
Please take a look at the info below and the link provided. We’d really appreciate your support with this Crystal Lake Publishing - The Next Chapter campaign (even if you just share the link on social media):
 
We have some of our most important and ambitious works coming out over the next 15 months, and we will put every possible resource behind these projects. For this reason, we’re taking the highly positive step of running this campaign to better position ourselves and these projects. Funds will go toward paying authors, artists, and marketing. This will ensure these titles making the widest possible splash upon publication while maintaining the highest standards of editing and production.
 
We have some amazing prizes and rewards for you. Hardcovers, pre-orders, books signed by Joe Hill, Jonathan Maberry, Joe R. Lansdale, and many more. There are movies, signed posters, horror movie memorabilia, and so much more. There are even two lucky draw ($5 entry) pots, again, one for authors and one for readers. Authors can win editing services, short story critiques, ad space, and even mentoring.
 
Come take a look at some of the amazing prizes we have for readers and authors (more will be added as the campaign continues):

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
