goggle_kidSeeing as how we've already had two webcomics respond to Wonder Woman's new costume, we may as well have a third.

stolisomancerRoberson posted scans from Chronicles of Wormwood on SD a while back, during "Garth Ennis Week." So far, there have been three Wormwood series: the original, a one-shot entitled The Last Enemy (which has some pretty awful art overall), and the current series, The Last Battle.
Last Battle is on a schedule that could be charitably described as "quarterly." Part of it may be the new artist, Oscar Jimenez, who's a pretty good fit for the material. The series is quite gory and features a great deal of apocalyptic imagery, so it may not be to everyone's taste. Personally, I read it for everything but the demonic/Biblical plot.
A quick summary of Wormwood: Danny Wormwood is the Antichrist, and he's buddies with Jay, a.k.a. Jesus Christ. Jay took a hit to the head from an LAPD riot cop a few years ago, and since then, has been having a very hard time making himself understood.
Apparently that is not so much the case anymore.
After the cut: a right-wing radio personality takes a call from Jesus Christ.
( The first three pages of issue #4. Safe for work. )

dimwit90So I've been wondering if anybody else in the world is reading this series, I need somebody to laugh with me at its chicken-obsessed ridiculousness.
The preview is here at CBR and it shows the first few pages of the plot. That last page had me giggling, ngl :)
( 3 pages following-ish the preview ahead )

icon_ukAnother new image from the Thor movie, showing the Hallowed Hall of the High Father Odin!
I like Hugin and Munin being there, and giving a sense of scale to the WAAAAAY over the top throne!
Yes, that is Loki in pointy helmet visible on the far left, with Frigga to his right, and Hogan and Fandral are over on the right, no sign of Volstagg though.
Okay it's not on a par with Loki at his most antlerific, but what the hey...

starwolf_oakleyThree pages of Marvel's preview of WEB OF SPIDER-MAN #10. This storyline features a new villain called The Extremist. He has an odd set of powers, and has decided to kill people who say bad things about Spider-Man. His next target: J. Jonah Jameson.

icon_ukSay the name "Giles" to most Brits over a certain age, and their first reaction will be "The cartoonist?" or more likely "The guy who created Grandma Giles?"
Giles, or to give him his full name Carl Giles, was a cartoonist of the social commentator variety in the UK for over 50 years, most of that time for the Daily Express and Sunday Express newspapers. His style was slightly, almost politely, anarchic and sardonic, and his somewhat Left wing political views were more or less at odds with the decidedly Right Wing Express newspapers.
He developed an enormous fanbase through the country with his seemingly easy-going but always astute observations on society, and his fanbase included people from all classes and all walks of life (The Royal family, regular targets of his work, were enormous fans and asked for the originals of some of his pieces (I like to think of the ones where he's taking the piss out of them, but who knows.)
