this week there wasn't a shitty comic to be found. So lets just jump right in.

First of we have a new comic by Garth Ennis put out by indie label Avatar called The Chronicles of Wormwood. After the first reading I have to say HOLY SHIT. The premise for this comic is the anti-christ(our protagonist Danny Wormwood) has returned to earth as has jesus(simply Jay, and he is even black) again. Unfortunately for both Lucifer and God both have turned their backs on their fathers and chosen to choose their own paths. In Wormwoods case he has put off the whole Armageddon thing and instead decided to let humanity choose its own way. He is know a TV executive putting out such great shows as Secret Santa which has baby vultures eating chopped liver off cock. A sure fire winner, and it is, he is doing fairly well for himself. Jay on the other hand has decided that this time around he is not going to suffer and die for our sins, instead he is going to stick around and make sure we don't pervert his ideas of peace and love. In any case the two of them are good drinking buddies. So there is the set up and dear god the whole thing reads so well I mean shit I laughed out loud reading this comic. As with any Ennis comic this one looks like it will a character driven story and our good friend the anti christ even has a cool sidekick who just happens to be a talking rabbit. I know it all sounds a lil weird and just plain crazy but trust me if you like any other Ennis titles you will fucking love this, and if you don't go out there and find some taste.



Next up we have the conclusion to the Annihilation series. This comic had everything I was hoping for as far as the end of this series went. We had the final battle between Nova and Annihilus the Kree finally taking the fight to the annihilation wave and the the Silver Surfer once again the Herald of Galactus. Once again the most impressive part of this comic was the amazing cover art. each one has been an incredible piece of art worth the price of the comic alone.






Daredevil #93
what more can be said really. This series is just fucking amazing. The art is dark and moody just like the main character. The story is so full of emotion and betrayal. Here we have the end of the whole saga of Matt Murdoch being outed as Daredevil. His secret is semi safe once again and he can finally get back to practicing law and kicking ass in his spare time. Of course with DD things are never that easy and in the end have the set up for the next arc. Matt is a married man but he still can't let go of the of the love of his life Karen Page. He finds himself so conflicted and torn. I love it the man is such a fucking tragic character. His life never seems like it is on the up and up and if it ever does bullseye is always waiting in the wings to knock his knees out from under him. I just can't day enough about this series it always leaves me with a weird feeling in my stomach. You want DD to do well but life just keeps shitting on his head, I can sympathize with that.
