gargoylekittyWish I'd remembered this story for our 'housewarming' though that's in the past, so now is as good a time as any for it. From Mister Miracle #26 & #27.

sherkahnLeonard Sampson has become the new Victor Creed. Well, in terms of look and design. CosmicBookNews has the wordless preview of #18. Things don't looks so good for the good Dr.

The Escapist: Not About Trilby-Sporting Reviewers Or Those Unskippable Dudes
Nov. 22nd, 2009 07:25 pmthanekosso, yeah, remember The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay?
well, in 2004, Michael Chabon (credited, amusingly, as House Manager) and Dark Horse Comics did an anthology comic about the hero those two created: the Escapist, who started life as your standard wastrel playboy and was guided into becoming a master of escape by a League who fought things oppressive and chaining.
Such enemies as Captiva, Wotan the Wicked, the Saboteur who plagued Empire City, and most deadly of all the Iron Chain, a society whose crimes were always patterned after binding and imposing. He had allies, though.
(And yes, all those creators did indeed do work for this.. it is an anthology. I forget who did what, but atleast one should be obvious.)
( To keep the metanarrative thing going, the stories tended to vary in style, framed as excerpts from different moments in the character's storied history... )

DAREDEVIL 344-350: Part 2.
Nov. 22nd, 2009 11:07 pmstarwolf_oakleyJ.M. DeMatteis' brief DAREDEVIL run continues. After stopping the rampaging woman called Sir, Matt Murdock has realized the man who has been running around in the old yellow Daredevil costume is... himself! That was quickly followed by remembering he accidentally pushed a prostitute out a window while trying to "get" the last of the fixer's men who killed Battlin' Jack Murdock. Karen Page and Foggy Nelson found Matt in "Jack Batlin's" apartment, catatonic and in the yellow Daredevil costume.

Frankenstein's Womb
Nov. 22nd, 2009 11:28 pmarbre_rieurFrankenstein's Womb was the latest entry in Warren Ellis's Apparat line of comics, the line that gave us Crecy. It's in the same format as that earlier work: a 44-page self-contained one-shot. Also like Crecy, the story is really off the normal Ellis beaten track. It forgoes all of his usual tics and favorite tropes, so that the end result is quite different from his usual fare.
From the product description on Amazon: 1816 was called "The Year Without A Summer." In the weird darkness of that July's volcanic winter, Mary Wolfestonecraft Godwin began writing Frankenstein on the shore of Lake Geneva in Switzerland. But that is not where Frankenstein began. It began a few months earlier when, en route through Germany to Switzerland, Mary, her future husband Percy Shelley, and her stepsister Clair Clairmont approached a strange castle. Castle Frankenstein, some one hundred years earlier, had been home to Johann Conrad Dippel, whose experiments included the independent invention of nitroglycerin, a distillation of the elixir of life - and the transfer of a live soul into an awful accretion of human body parts! Mary never spoke of having entered the real Castle Frankenstein, stark on its hilltop south of Darmstadt. But she did. And she was never the same again - because something was haunting that tower, and Mary met it there. Fear, death, and alchemy - the modern age is created here, in lost moments in a ruined castle on a day never recorded.
