I only read The Archies One Shot. I liked it but Archie Meets The Ramones was much better.

WEEK OF 05-30-17:

KILL OR BE KILLED #9
THANOS #7
DONALD DUCK #387
WALT DISNEY'S COMICS & STORIES #738


LOONEY TUNES #237 - A fun issue with stories featuring Duck Dodgers in the 24 & 1/2th Century and Eager Young Space Cadet Porky (who in this story gets promoted to Eager Young Space Commander, much to Dodgers' dismay); and Foghorn Leghorn is abducted by Marvin the Martian to help repopulate the birdlike Martian minions.

DC SUPER HERO GIRLS WONDER WOMAN DAY SPECIAL EDITION #1 - Only a month ago there was a FCBD issue with a chapter excerpted from the kids' graphic novel DC Super Hero Girls: Summer Olympus, and now here is another chapter. Of course you don't get to see how the young Wonder Woman's summer vacation from Super Hero High ends, but between the two free issues, that's an entire third of the 128-page graphic novel. TBH, I'm not that crazy about this version of the DC characters, so I'm not about to spend $10 for the graphic novels. It's a pleasant enough story for free, though.

WONDER WOMAN ANNUAL #1
MAN-THING #4 (of 5)
CABLE #1
DOLLFACE #5
JUDGE DREDD: FUNKO UNIVERSE #1 (one-shot)
KISS FOREVER 48-PAGE SPECIAL (one-shot)
ALIENS: DEAD ORBIT #2 (of 4)
LOBSTER JOHNSON: THE PIRATE'S GHOST #3 (of 3)
DOC SAVAGE: THE RING OF FIRE #3 (of 4)
ANNO DRACULA #3 (of 5)
MICRONAUTS: WRATH OF KARZA #2 (of 5)
STAR TREK: WAYPOINT #5 (of 6)
TRANSFORMERS VS GI JOE MOVIE ADAPTATION

CARtoons MAGAZINE #9
- From the revived magazine's website:
QuoteWhat is CARtoons Magazine?
CARtoons Magazine came out in the late 50's and was published/distributed bi-monthly up until the early 90's. The magazine was based on comic strip stories, how to draw and illustrations from various top name artists reflecting humour within the automotive industry. Basically your comic book for automotive enthusiasts worldwide.
I guess they just started publishing this again, after a few decades. Fun retro-toons about kustom kulture and Rockabilly/Surf vibes; cartooning with a 'Rat Fink' sensibility. Probably for old dudes only.  Pretty cool.

MISTY TP - Reprints two stories, "Moonchild" and "The Four Faces of Eve" from the supernatural gothic girls' British comic, MISTY.

How's Mighty Mouse? And Looney Tunes? Would I like them? I want to start reading Looney Tunes and Simpsons comics since I like old fashioned humor but I don't know where to start. I liked the Simpsons and Mighty Mouse comics I got for FCBD but not the Sponge Bob one.


How's Kiss Vampirella? I liked the Kiss dystopian series that came out recently.

How's Kiss Vampirella? I liked the Kiss dystopian series that came out recently.

Dynamite's Mighty Mouse comic isn't a straightforward revival, like AMP's Underdog comic... it's a story where a real-world kid who is picked on by bullies but likes to draw and watch cartoons somehow brings the cartoon Mighty Mouse into the 'real' world. I liked it less when I discovered that, but I'm giving the story a chance because I like the writing of Sholly Fisch, who also writes Scooby-Doo Team-Up for DC, and he really impressed me with clever scripting on that book. I don't know that I'd recommend Mighty Mouse at this point, but I'm taking a wait-and-see attitude. I'll let you know how I feel about subsequent issues.

Like you, I'm late picking up on Looney Tunes. The 100-Page Super-Spec reprints a miniseries from 2000 which I'd ignored. I didn't like it as much as I'd hoped, despite Mark Evanier's writing it. Evanier's writing of animated comic book adaptations (mostly on Hanna-Barbera characters) goes all the way back to the 1970s comics published by Whitman/Western Publishing. It wasn't as funny as I'd hoped, so I hope those one-shot specials coming up (beginning next week) from DC crossing the Looney Tunes characters with the DC characters are better. The regular ongoing Looney Tunes comic book is a different story. The best place to start with those would just be to pick up any of the recent issues, or these two collections:



Volume 1 reprints Looney Tunes #34-40 (1997-98) and Vol. 2 reprints Looney Tunes #41-47 (1998). Judging by the page count, it looks like it more or less reprints those issues in their entirety. So why begin with #34, and why "greatest hits" if it's a straight collection of consecutive issues? Your guess is as good as mine. I have these and have flipped through them, read just a few of the short stories, but was hoping to get them read in the coming week. The stories look good at a glance-through.

Kiss/Vampirella has a story that takes place in the 1970s, and seems to be in continuity with the original b&w Warren magazine version of Vampirella, taking place for Vampi just a few years since she's arrived on Earth from the planet Drakulon (Vampirella #1, 1969), which I liked, and for Kiss it takes place just after they've recorded their album Hotter Than Hell. I really appreciate when writers pay attention to those kind of details to give the story a little verisimilitude. On the other hand, there are some odd bits like having Vampi be in a band ('Witchkraft') as a sort of an undercover ID for her searching out the usual sort of demonic/monstrous menaces she fights. She's out of her usual costume for most of this issue (except for some short flashbacks), which I didn't like, because she's not really recognizable without it. On the other hand, I like that Kiss in this comic is treated as an actual band and not some sort of superpowered demigods like they are in other Kiss comics. The title characters of the comic book do not actually meet in issue #1.

Looking forward to your starred reviews. How are you going to review the coloring book? Did you buy some colored pencils?

Well, I can't review the interactive experience of coloring the pages, because that would be unique to each person who buys the book.

I can however, review what's IN the book, and the various choices that were made both in the selection of artwork, and what they DID with the artwork selected.

Are you planning on doing any coloring? And posting your artwork?
