Review - Hellblazer #284

Hellblazer # 284 by Vertigo/DC Comics. Written by Peter Milligan. Drawn by Gael Bertrand. $2.99.

In this issue, the story line of John Constantine's coat continues as it becomes more and more sentient.

I have to admit this story has been rather good. I never would have thought that a story about his coat could interest me at all, but the writing on this is very well done. Also, we continue to see what is happening with Gemma, John's niece, the one that stole the coat and sold it on the Internet.

I was concerned for the title when I found out that DC decided to bring Constantine back into the "superhero" world, but it seems they now have two John Constantines. So as long as they keep him like the John we all know and love in the Vertigo title, they can do what they want in Justice League Dark.

I must note that the guest artist, Gael Bertrand, really did a good job. It constantly amazes me on the artists they get for this title, but amazes me more that many of them, the really good ones, you never see again drawing comics. I know it is a hard field to break into and stay working, but makes you wonder what happened to all these artists.

Review - Chopper #1

Chopper #1 by Asylum Press and Night Owl Productions. Written by Martin Shapiro. Drawn by Juan Ferreyra. $2.99.

Not sure if the comic is being done as a web series, or that the web series is being done as a comic, but one of these is the case for this comic on ChopperLives.com.

I was skeptical about his one, being as it is a type of new version of the headless horseman, but I have to admit it is a interesting take on it. Seems the "bad girl" daughter of a cop, sells drugs and has a personality disorder: IE town druggy and slut, lol. Some of the drugs she sells, unknown to her I'm sure, bring about a headless biker that, well, cuts of the victims heads at least in this issue.

The writing is decent and the artwork is really good as well. So for a starter issue that lays down the ground-work for the entire series, it did really well. Makes me want to check out the web site to see how Tyler Mane plays this biker killer.

Readers should check out this title if for no other reason than it is different, or if your a big fan of the Headless Horseman stories. Myself, I am curious to where this title is going and if it might turn into a full blown movie if it goes over well.

Review - True Blood: The French Quarter #1

True Blood: The French Quarter #1 by IDW. Written by Mariah Huehner and David Tischman. Drawn by Claidia Balboni. $$3.99

I have never actually watched the show that this is based on, so in all honesty I have no clue what is going on, lol.

Now that being said, the comic was a decent read and is basically another "vampires are just out in the open" storyline. A storyline that is a mystery of vampires dying, all that have some sort of HIV blood virus. Plus the main female just happens to take a steamy shower with two of the male vampires doing some "cock-waving" over who she was thinking about. Like I said, I really have no fucking clue what is going on.

I will say the art is very well done, seeing as many of these types of comics (TV/Movie adaptations) tend to have shitty artists on them for some reason. But this girl really knows her craft well.

My over-all opinion of the issue would be: interesting. I think that it would be a hard title to get into, because if you didn't watch the TV series you wouldn't have a clue of what is going on. But, it does intrigue me enough to look into watching the series, so in that aspect, they did a good job.

So if your a fan of True Blood, you definitely will love this comic, if not, you won't because like me, you will have no clue as to what is going on.

Review - Anita Blake Vampire Hunter #1 (The Scoundrel)

Anita Blake Vampire Hunter: Circus of the Damned -The Scoundrel- #1 by Marvel Comics. Written by Laurell K. Hamilton and Jess Ruffner. Drawn by Ron Lim. $3.99

Ok, I'm jumping into this title a bit ahead of the whole storyline. As time permits, I will be back reading the trade paperbacks. But this is another title that has been suggested I add to the list horror titles.

The issue is very very wordy, reads like the book it is based on. But since it is trying to go for a literal adaptation, I can understand why. The story is about a female "Animator" (just like it sounds kiddies, she brings dead people back for a short time) and the world a vampires that she has become a part of.

The author and title (at least book wise) has a huge following and anyone that has read them would enjoy this title immensely. But anyone else, I would have to recommend picking up the trade paperback and start from the beginning or you will be lost.

If you love vampires, werewolves, and some other horror creatures thrown in, you will like this comic/books, but be warned this is not a horror comic/book with blood, guts and scare the piss out of you, it does have some romantic over-tones to it as well. So try this one out if you dare, it might become a guilty pleasure or you might want to take a shower with sandpaper.
