Now that Stokoe has hit it big drawing the Avengers and Godzilla, Oni Press is finally reprinting Stokoe's first book and my personal favorite, the absolutely insane WONTON SOUP!! Imagine an Iron Chef manga remixed through the lens of Cowboy Bebop, Paul Pope, Geoff Darrow and featuring a guest appearance by Brandon Graham himself (well, kinda) all injected directly into the bloodstream in a flash of psychedelic gradients and naughty parts!! (sooooo many naughty parts) This is truly a wonderful comic and I guarantee it will leave a warm, fuzzy feeling deep down inside...
Sorry this is a day late, but hey, the comics are still here, still new and still GOOD!!! Listen to what Anna has to say about drug addict zombies, giant crustaceans and SATAN!!
Anna cuts to the chase and makes with her eye popping picks for the week of March 5th! READ ME!

Fresh off the biggest bomb in Hollywood history, disgraced and desperate producer Nathan T. Rex enters a downward spiral of drugs and depravity in a quest to resurrect his career and save his soul. Over budget and behind schedule on the latest installment of the horror franchise, PRESIDENTS DAY, T. Rex is backed into a corner by bad publicity, a crap project, and a jerk studio exec, but finds salvation at a strip club by huffing glue, and a chance encounter with cable news. Welcome to the most deranged, notorious, and hilarious comic of 2014! We apologize in advance.
...And this is why I love comics. Only in this medium can there be such a plethora of fluorescent, drug induced comics with failed creative people falling down a darkened hole of depravity that ends in sniffing glue at a strip club. Rick spears, the man behind the unfortunately never finished "Pirates of Coney Island," returns with yet another book that is sure to literally pop your eyeballs out of your sockets!! (as illustrated on the cover, obviously)

Welcome to "the Blister" -- a bizarre other-world colonized by humans
sometime in the 22nd century, which quickly became a hotly-contested
source of fertile land and natural resources long ago exhausted on
Earth. In this new frontier, a rogue gunslinger and his companion wander
across a wilderness in the grips of a civil war, encountering
lawlessness, natives, and perversions of civilization in a world at the
crossroads between the past and the future. The fact that said
gunslinger is a bio-surgically modified silverback gorilla toting a pair
of enormous revolvers is neither here nor there.

After the onslaught of pop culture nerdom that was ECCC, the last thing on your mind is comics, but as we all know the best cure for a hangover is MORE alcohol, so with that in mind, Casey and Morgan bring you the best of the best this week in our special comedown edition of Zanadu hype!
While there was lots to choose from, we were blinded by the fluorescent raunchiness of SEX by Joe Casey; deafened by the rollicking rhythms of TANK GIRL by Jim Mahfood; rode the dark rails of Vasilis Lolos' LAST CALL; went all in on Jim McCann and Janet Lee's galactic gambling scheme in LOST VEGAS and fought tooth and nail with gothic vikings in HELHEIM by Cullen Bunn and Joelle Jones!
All this and a new weekly feature surprise!!
(W/A) Vasilis Lolos
The Ghost Train is the unearthly engine that travels between dimensions and through the void of space and time. When two normal teenagers, Alec and Sam, mysteriously end up on the train, they're thrown into a world unlike any they've ever seen and in the middle of a killing spree more chilling than anything they could have imagined! After being separated in Volume 1, the pair finally find one another, but it's not the reunion either one expects. Alec has aged ten years while Sam has only been on his own for ten hours! There's no time for the two to catch up though! There's still the issue of who is murdering the passengers and how it's connected to the boy's appearance on the train!
After 6!!! friggin years, Vasilis Lolos, one of my favorite comic creators of the past few years finally returns with his creator owned fusion of horror, mystery and comedy as two punk kids steal away from their homes one night hoping to find an adventure on par with the mind blowing metal mixtape blasting from the tape deck, but you know that old saying and things go from bad to weird to WTF in a manner of seconds!! Capturing a truly unique and indy style, Lolos infuses his books with a musical energy that few others are capable of matching, but for fans of Brandon Graham, Corey Lewis, Becky Cloonan and the serious METAL that is Chuck BB's 'Black Metal', this is a ride that is not to be missed!!! RECOMMENDED BY CASEY!!
