Once again I am drawn into the strange world of Hawken due to an amazing artist being allowed to write and draw what is sure to be an full boar issue of cybernetic action! Nathan Fox, the genius artist behind the bio-punk masterpiece, 'Fluorescent Black,' brings his pope-esque style to the world of mechs and corporate espionage, but with an injection of adrenaline, heart and roughness that has been missing from Pope's books for the past few years. Fox is one of the best guys not doing regular comix and I for one am overjoyed to see him come back to the fold!

DOGS OF WAR GN

(W) Sheli Keenan (A) Nathan Fox

 Dogs of War is a graphic novel that tells the stories of the canine military heroes of World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War. This collection of three fictional stories was inspired by historic battles and real military practice, and each story tells the heroic adventures of a soldier and his service dog. Based on the real-life roles of military dogs that served as Red Cross rescuers, messengers, scouts, search-and-rescue teams, sentries, and mascots, Dogs of War captures both the adventure and the devastation brought on by war, as well as the celebrations of life and friendship between boys and their dogs.

Ok, so this might seem like a strange pick for me; a semi historical war story about the friendship between man and animal--and we're not even talkin' cats here! No, the reason I'm pimping this is because Nathan Fox, the master of gradients and Paul Pope like brushstrokes brings his vast talents to a genre that does not fall within his usual realm of work. I love it when artists whose style may not seem applicable to a certain story as it makes for strange and sometimes perfect bedfellows. Plus, Y'know, there are cuddly dogs and sh*t.

EMPLOYEE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 7/31!!

COLLIDER #1

(W) Simon Oliver (A) Robbi Rodriguez

 It started small: temporary gravity failures, time reversal loops, entropy reversals. With much fanfare a new government agency was formed with a mandate "to prevent and protect." Its official title: The Federal Bureau of Physics. Humans, if nothing else, adapt to the changing parameters of their existence. What was extraordinary soon became ordinary, a part of people's daily lives. They move on and do what people have always done: survive. But even that new status quo is now under threat. Things are getting worse, and it falls to Special Agent Adam Hardy and his FBP team to figure out what's going on, before it's too late...

ZANADU RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 7/4/12

HAUNT #24

(W) Joe Casey  (A) Nathan Fox

It's mayhem on the streets of Manhattan! A relentless creature of fury andfire running amok! Only Haunt can save the city from an apocalyptic end! But at what cost? The new nightmare rolls on in 2012!

Proof that there are no bad ideas, just boring creators, Joe Casey and Nathan Fox have turned this book into one of the most exciting and intense books on the stands! Using a kaleidoscope of color, mixed with Paul Pope-esque brush work, Fox is able to translate Casey's madcap ideas of biblical fury and roll it up into one fatty blunt of psychedelic insanity!
