New Comics Day 5/21 & 5/28/14
Didn't get to the shop today, but still a huge pile from the previous two weeks. Starting with the Legend of Bold Riley by Leia Weathington (words) and Jonathon Dalton (drawings). I recall having read some of the earlier issues of this online years back and meaning to get the collected print book for those. Which, I see from the in-house ads, is still available. The titular Riley is a wandering lesbian adventurer in a fantasy India setting...
Samurai Jack spends an issue wandering some crystalline caves and fighting a small army of his twisted mirror duplicates. As wandering heroes are wont to do...
After Finn wrecks Anti-Ghost Princess' anti-ghost equipment and frees all her captured jerk ghosts in Adventure Time. Leading Princess Bubblegum to come up with a plan to turn all the citizens of Candy Kingdom into ghosts to solve the ghost problem. Probably not going to be her finest moment...
Wonder Woman works to convince her sisters to help her in the raising of godling Zeke. While Hermes and Dio take a trip to the Underworld after seeing the Dead wandering the world...
The Dead Boy Detectives (and their new Living Celebrity Girl partner) use their contacts among the supernatural set to solve the Case of the Bisected Girl...
The latest the Unwritten: Apocalypse checks in with Pauly the Former Rabbit and Lord of Hell. Who mostly wants to go back to being a Rabbit in a children's story...
Invincible has the start of Mark attempting to put a stop to Robot's plans for global domination. Things don't begin well...
The main thing to take from this issue of Prophet is it has Dave Taylor doing all the art. Normally you only see him doing colors. Beyond that its more of the normal theme, far future scifi weird awesomeness...
New Saga! Yay! Opening with the vaginal birth of a baby royal Robot. Plus bad acting! Going to playgrounds! No Lying Cat. Boo!
Velvet spends most of its current issue flashbacking to 1956 and her spy marriage and 1946 for her spy training...
Southern Bastards gets some setting laid out as well as the likely main antagonist, Coach Boss...
King Conan fights a lady vampire in the Temple of Set. And Conan the Avenger partners with his former witch-hunter opponent to battle some zombies...
And finally Dark Horse Presents, with the second half a "Usagi Yojimbo" story, as well as some Mike Mignola, Jaime Hernandez and Kel McDonald short pieces...
