Waezi2 Halloween reading part 11.

Well, sitting on the streets with a sign is boring... Here are some other recommendations.

I am the first to admit that I am a sucker for romantic stories. So when I heard about The Crow, I just HAD to read it. And let me tell you; it's not a tale for anyone with a week stomach.

When we die, our spirit travels to the afterlife, carried by a crow. But sometimes, that crow let the soul return to the body before it goes on to the afterlife, so the wrongs of the soul can be righted.

Eric is such a soul. He now gets the opportunity to make the butchers of his fiance and himself pay for their crimes.

You may think this is just another superhero story. You could not be more wrong. There is nothing heroic about what Eric does. This is a case of unfinished business, so Eric can go on with peace. Blaine payback, simple as that. A dark story as only a noir comic can tell it.

Science is dangerous. So the Elric brothers must learn the hard way.

After loosing their mother to sickness, Alphonse and Edward Elric decides to master the science of alchemy in order to bringing her back to life. But, like Icarus, they learn how dangerous it is to play God, and pay a huge price.
I think it's needless to say that this manga, sadly, goes a little Dragon Ball in the end, but its actually a great tale about the horrors of science, and two young men trying to restore their humanity. There is plenty of gore in this horror-tale of science, so be prepared.
But i'ts also a lot of fun, too:) Its a manga after all.

I will be back with more recommendations as fast as possible, but I have to visit the big library at Copenhagen first.

See ya.

JLA/Titans in 5 panels

I have said it before, and I will say it again: ALL GOOD COMICS INVOLVES THE MOON!

Please Batman, dont hug me! Cold... So cold...

Hey, who grabbed my butt!?

My god, Cyberion has unleashed the madness of Cool World!

You know, ALL I wanted was to conquer the moon, and THAT somehow makes me a bad guy! GEE!

(By the way; JLA/Titans is flipping awesome.)

Identity Crisis in 5 panels.

This panel wouldn't have been the same without the BURNED corps of Sue Dibny.

Being a rapist makes me a complex character!

I can B-slap the Justice League!... Somehow...

There is something REALLY wrong, when I have the least questionable ethics in this series.

I LOVE FLAMETHROWERS!

(Well... WHY THE FLIP DOES THIS COMIC EXIST?)

Top 9 Tree-house Of Horror comics.

Okay folks, what is the first thing you think of when I say: Intelligent humor?

Oh, please, you are too kind! No, seriously; what is the first thing you think of when I say: Intelligent humor?

What, seriously? Come on! Carrey is poop-funny, not funny-funny!

Okay, fine, besides me and... Jim Carrey?... what is the first thing you think of when I say: Intelligent humor?

We can all agree, that even though the standard of the show is not what it used to be, The Simpsons are among the titans of television history. Unforgettable characters, great satire, provocation, ahead of it's time, and just downright funny. The Simpsons is not only one of the greatest animated shows, but also one the greatest TV-series ever made. But we are not going to talk about the TV-show, but the comics.

At the moment, there are four different titles of Simpsons comics that's being published: Simpsons comics, Bart Simpson comics, Super Spectacular, and of coarse; Tree-house Of Horror.

Just like its older brother from the TV, the comic is a once a year tradition. And as the final part of my Halloween recommendations this year, I will make a top 9 over my personal favorite stories. But really, you should read them all, they are really enjoyable. Its actually surprise me that the comics keep the standard that the show doesn't. Anyway, here is number 9: Dark Lisa.

Based on the novel "Carrie", "Dark Lisa" is the story about how Lisa Simpson gets telekinetic powers from soup made out of a radioactive fish.

And dear god, is it enjoyable to see Lisa go nuts and get back on... well... THE ENTIRE FLIPPING WORLD!!!

Number 8: Willie: A Portrait Of A Groundskeeper.

Groundskeeper Willie gets, by mistake, a emu instead of a post-ordered Russian bride. But love is nonetheless... ew...
But when Homer eats the emu, Willie goes inane... Again... Nasty little story.

Number 7: Gnaws.

"Jaws" parody. Just as nasty, but more entertaining.

Number 6: The Legend Of Batterface.

Every year at "free donuts day" someone dies. By being stuffed to death by donuts!

Number 5: The Lexicon Of Lurid Limericks.

Not really a story, but the "Tree-house Of Horror"'s alphabet.
And WHAT an alphabet!!!

Number 4: Bart Simmons; God Of Thunder.

Bart learns the truth about his real father, becomes the god of thunder, saves Earth and then he conquer it. Awesome!

Number 3: The Case Of Amontilla-D'oh.

Moe Szyslak is easy to anger. This is the tale of the day Homer REALLY angered him. And its not pretty.

Number 2: Ring Around The Simpsons.

We have seen a Simpsons version of Harry Potter, The Count Of Monte Cristo, Lady And The Tramp. But instead of a version, how about the Simpsons INVADING the Lord Of The Ring? Trust me, it's hilarious!

Number 1: Hell-O-Ween.

Do you remember the episode with Ned Flanders as the Devil? This is the story about HOW he became the Devil. This is my favorite story from the Treehouse Of Horror comics. And as I said before: what is Halloween without at least ONE story about Satan?

Well, this were the Halloween recommendations of this year. Now I will go back to find a way to somehow make my 5-panels payoff.

I'm Waezi2, and I wish you all a happy Halloween. See ya!

Superman Grounded in 5 panels.

This is Superman. The amazing man of steel! With his incredible powers, he can...

Jumps the shark in a single bound!

Reform criminals faster than a speeding bullet!

And not even a bursting shell can penetrate his tick skull.

Superman! fights for truth, justice and the American way! Except for nuclear power-plant owners, the can lie as much as they want.

Waezi2 Halloween reading part 9.

I finally found the TPB called; "Spectre; Crimes And Punishments", that contains the first four issues of the 90s series. In it, we read about Spectre, The wrath of God, visiting an old "friend," solve a murder, and we get his origin story, too. And it's not a very nice one, let me tell you.

Now THIS is Halloween reading! The art is gritty, and the writing dark as night. To bad this is the only TPB. But then again, the issues has some damn awesome covers, like Spectre as a giant spider who are about to eat a man alive, or Spectre fighting the zombie-version of Uncle Sam, so they would be fun to collect.

This is not really a horror story, but it has plenty of "monsters."

Jack Knight, AKA Starman, is searching for things he can use to re-open his recently burned down junk shop (long story), and stops at a circus. He hoped that he could buy old posters and such, but instead, he gets a night at the circus he wont ever forget.

"A (K)night At The Circus" may not be the best two parts story in the entire Starman series, but it is the design of the circus-freaks that really get's my attention. It's still an enjoyably story. But instead of recommend issue 7 to 8, I might as well recommend the entire 80 issue long Starman series, written by James Robinson.

Next time, I will have a list over my top 9 favorite issues of Tree-house Of Horror.

Birds Of Prey in 5 panels.

I spy on my best friend, I am rude to people who barely talks to me, I let my personal life affect my work, I'm possibly sexist, and I steal money on the internet... Good thing I'm a woman, or I would be considered a bad person.

I am a strong, independent, ASS KICKING woman!!!... What do you think Ollie is doing right now?

I'm EVERYONE'S tool!

I'm the most stable person in this group... that is kinda sad.

... Why am I reading this comic again?

LADY BLACKHAWK! NOW we're talking!

(But really, BOP is good, but it doesn't appeal to me)
