If you want to take a break from the capes and spandex for awhile, you might be interested in these books: 10:56:31 am, by Things From Another World Categories: Dark Horse Comics, Reviews, Blog From Another World ![]() Reviews from The Blog From Another World I’ve got to admit, I’m a sucker for unconventional superhero comics, which is why I loved the initial run of The Umbrella Academy, by Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba–despite the hype (’cause I can be contrary like that). The vivid artwork, unusual characters, and time-shifting plot caught my attention, and I’ve been eagerly awaiting The Umbrella Academy: Dallas #1 ever since. Fortunately, since I work for TFAW.com, I was able to get my hands on an advance copy so I can tell you what you’re in for! 04:01:24 pm, by Things From Another World Categories: Dark Horse Comics, Reviews, Blog From Another World ![]() Reviews from The Blog From Another World The first issue of The Cleaners, written by Mark Wheaton and Joshua Hale Fialkov and drawn by Rahsan Ekedal, reads like a cross between an episode of CSI, The X-Files, and the aftermath of a horror flick. Is it a forensic mystery? A supernatural tale? A how-to manual for cleaning up after a mass murder? I'm not sure yet, but the debut issue has definitely piqued my interest. 12:53:30 pm, by Things From Another World Categories: DC Comics, Reviews, Blog From Another World ![]() Reviews from The Blog From Another World When I first got into comics as a teenager, Swamp Thing was exactly the type of comic book I would have avoided like the plague. A giant, mobile vegetable? Too gimmicky. Didn't they make a campy movie of this with Heather Locklear? (Why, yes they did!) Isn't this... a guy comic? Bring me my Uncanny X-Men and leave me in peace! However, after a good friend mentioned that Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing taught him everything he knew about love and comics, I decided to give it a try. And promptly fell in love. It is a romance, after all - a romance filled with supernatural creatures, classic elements of horror, interspecies sexuality, and space travel, of course. 10:31:17 pm, by Things From Another World Categories: Marvel Comics, Reviews, Blog From Another World ![]() Reviews from The Blog From Another World Old Man Logan continues as Hawkeye and the former X-Man continue their journey through the Kingdom of the Kingpin to New Babylon in Wolverine #69. I was psyched to get my grubby mitts on the book this week. It seems like it’s been forever since Wolverine #68 came out, and the ending of that issue left me chomping at the bit.
