I’m not a huge fan of The Shadow, but I sure do dig this piece by Dan McDaid.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
I’m a Frank Miller fan from his early days on Daredevil comics. I’ve followed his work through the years and was excited to see that he was writing and directing The Spirit. Over the years I’d read more than a couple of Will Eisner’s Spirit stories.
I tried to watch The Spirit more than a few times in the past. It was just too over-the-top for me. I never made it all the way through. It also didn’t seem to be The Spirit from Eisner’s tales. Recently I decided to stick it out and watch the movie all the way through. It didn’t get better.
I wish Frank Miller had written and directed a Sin City movie instead of this one.
The Spirit (2008) rates 1 of 5 stars.

FULL TILT by Jason Copland / Z-View
FULL TILT by Jason Copland (letters by Troy Peteri)
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
Two hundred years in the future five crime families control New Manhattan. With trouble in paradise a sitdown was arranged for the boss of each family and his/her adviser. It did not end well.
An assassin appeared. It was a massacre. Massimo Miller, the consigliere of the Chessa family was the only survivor. Massimo was wounded, but barely survived. The cops and new crime bosses (even for the Chessa family) believe that Miller was the executioner.
Now badly inured and alone, Massimo has one thing on his mind: vengeance. To get it, Massimo will have to travel across the city with the soldiers of the five families and cops on his trail. How can one man, even one as formidable as Massimo have a chance? There’s only one way… go full tilt.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Jason Copland’s FULL TILT is a masterpiece. The mobster storyline in a sci-fi setting is perfect for Copland’s world building. He’s developed interesting, original characters built using genre troupes. Copland’s story and art raise the bar. I’m sad for the folks who missed out.
Rating:

Batman by Bill Sienkiewicz!
Batman by Bill Sienkiewicz. That’s all that need be said.
Sly Stallone as Jack Carter by Derec Donovan!
This Jack Carter piece was created by Derec Donovan through his Whatnot page. I’ve been a fan of his for years. Derec’s western/zombie mashup, Trigger Mortis should be on every cowboy/zombie fan’s bookshelf. This is my first piece by Derec, but hopefully it won’t be my last.

“King Kong” by Sanjulián
I love the old-time feel of this King Kong painting by Sanjulián. You can see a Kong-sized version at The Bristol Board.
