NAILBITER VOL.1: THERE WILL BE BLOOD Writer: Joshua Williamson Artist: Mike Henderson Colorist: Adam Guzowski Letterer: John J.

Talking Second Coming with Mark Russell

When SECOND COMING was first announced at Vertigo, my first thought was "I can't wait to read this". The premise of Jesus teaming up with a superhero was inspired and hilarious. Over the course of the next few months of the announcement, there was an uproar in the Christianity community over the use of Jesus. Was it unfounded, yes. Did they completely overreact, hell yeah. The outcome was Mark Russell and Vertigo mutually parting ways. You can't keep a good idea down though,

Savage Avengers #1(Review): Blood, Booze, and Brawls

SAVAGE AVENGERS #1 Writer: Gerry Duggan Artist: Mike Deodato, Jr. Colorist: Frank Martin Letterer: Travis Lanham Publisher: Marvel Comics 7/10 Just as advertised, we get a book full of savagery, violence, and tons of action.

When I first picked up a Deadpool comic, it was DEADPOOL #1, written by Joe Kelly. From then, I was a Joe Kelly fan. While Liefeld created the character, Joe made him one of my favorites. Joe has been writing since the mid 90's and has compiled an amazing collection of work over that time. His writing is some full of emotion, not many comics will make you laugh at loud like his will. After making the Merc With A Mouth successful, he took on Superman, in ACTION COMICS. His run
