How's Dollface?

By the same creative team as Zombie Tramp (which I haven't read, but the character appears in this first issue). Action Lab publishes some interesting stuff, but it's all over the map. Some of it is bottom-of-the-barrel crap, and some of it has an interesting alt/UG vibe. This is one of their "Danger Zone" (Mature Readers) titles, but they also publish a lot of kid-friendly stuff too. I may read a couple more issues of this to see if there's anything to it, but I'm undecided at this point. The first issue didn't seem to have a lot of depth to it, but a didn't get much of a sense of where (if anywhere) the story was going. Cougar and Cub #1 (also published by Action Lab/Danger Zone) was the more interesting (and funny) of the two titles I read by that company this week.

Link to the company's website: http://www.actionlabcomics.com/ Looking over their other titles, I'd imagine that there are other things they publish that might interest you a lot more than Dollface. I've only read a scant few of their titles.

DeCarlo Rules

ONE-PUNCH MAN, Vol. 10 - Started reading this, but got interrupted by other stuff before finishing. But I've just been enjoying the heck out of this series since I discovered it. Then I checked the mailbox this morning (which I forgot to do yesterday) and found...

BETTY AND VERONICA JUMBO COMICS #250 - So I sat down, planning to just read the new Dan Parent story, but then started flipping through it, looking at the credits for all the stories, and wound up reading another dozen or more of them. I think I counted about half a dozen Frank Doyle/Dan DeCarlo stories in here, and just as many Dan Parent stories (in addition to the new one). One of those FD/DDC stories was a winter skating story that had more funny slapstick gags with Veronica than I think I've ever seen in a single story. There are a few Bob Bolling stories too (apart from the Little Betty and Veronica stories, which I don't read). Also, (at least) half a dozen Mike Pellowski stories, but I guess if they just stopped reprinting those then they'd have to go back to 1980s and earlier stories to fill all those pages in the digests (not that I'd be complaining if they actually DID that). Man, it seems like Pellowski wrote at least twice as many stories as anybody else writing for ACP in the 90s and 00s. There's also another whole issue of SABRINA reprinted here (continuing the sequential reprints of Holly G's run on the title) that I hadn't read before. The new story by Dan P. has an appearance by Harper (only two panels, though :(). It seemed a little shorter than usual (the last 2 pages only had 2 big panels per page) and the ending wasn't as funny as usual for Dan, but there are some decent funny bits leading up to that.

I like Action Lab Dog of Wonder, Princeless, and Ghoul Scouts. I've read others like Nutmeg, Vamplets, Mishka, and Hero Cats but they were just ok. They seem to have long stretches between issues though. I read the FCBD of Doll Face. The art kinda reminds me of Sky Doll.

I never saw the FCBD Dollface issue, so I don't know if it's actually the same comic as #1 or not (that's one common use of an FCBD comic, as kind of a free preview of an upcoming series). I only picked it up on a whim because the art looked kind of interesting. Never read Sky Doll either, although I've seen it - but isn't that some kind of Euro-manga thing? Even though this is supposed to be some kind of origin story, I didn't completely understand the plot. I guess Dollface is some kind of robot, but she has a name ("Lila") and doesn't really seem like a robot, more like her personality was transplanted from someone (dead?) or something. There was some kind of techobabble stuff about using the Necronomicon to program her, but I didn't really get it -- and it seemed like the readers were assumed to be familiar with Zombie Tramp already, so I was lost there. Maybe there's some shared-universe background stuff from the Zombie Tramp comic that they assume readers already knew as well. Doesn't seem like the best approach for a new series.

EDIT: Okay, tried looking up that FCBD issue and couldn't find it, so I'm guessing that this is the one you meant. (Not sure which of these covers actually appeared on the printed book, but note the difference in titles - "ZT vs DOLLFACE" or "ZT vs The Doll-Faced Witch Hunter".):
[
...and the solicitation description on this one mentions "What happens when a witch hunter's soul from 17th-century Salem, Massachusetts gets infused into a life-sized, ball-jointed, 3D printed, sexbot in present time?" and while the latter part was clear enough in issue #1, I saw nothing in there identifying how exactly this witch hunter Lila from the 17th century's soul got grafted onto the Dollface body. While I did see Dollface referred to as a "witch hunter" by Zombie Tramp (again, since I never read that character's series -- isn't she a zombie, not a witch?), it wasn't made clear what happened when Dollface was programmed at all (except the technobabble bit about using the Necronomicon to program her tipped the reader off that something weird was going on). It seems like they assumed at a minimum that all the readers picking up #1 would already have read the ComicFest preview comic (which appears to be an entirely different story, possibly taking place sometime in-between the pages of this first issue of Dollface). I like the basic concept, but the execution as far as this single issue in terms of writing could have been a lot better. Maybe I should see if I can find a copy of that FCBD issue somewhere, but I'm not going to expend much effort on it.

Yet another EDIT: So I just found an online preview of what is referred to as "HCF 2016 ZOMBIE TRAMP VS THE DOLL-FACED WITCH HUNTER", and the 3 pages previewed of the HCF giveaway are the same as 3 of the pages I read in DOLLFACE #1, so maybe they are the same comic book story, after all.
