Quick Reviews by Michael May

The Miscellaneous Adventures of Stykman #1 September 5, 2006: Written and Illustrated by Jonnie Allan • Salty sea-apes and Death Comes to Dillinger Like I said when I reviewed Rocket Rabbit, it's tough to write not-quite-lesbians and others - Black Coat, superhero comedy without crossing over into parody. Allan has IronHide Tom, Black Coat, Horrorwood, Koni Waves, X Liberty Girl, Big Max, The done a fine job of it though, especially in the design of Phantom, Narwain, and Isle, Jack the Lantern, BPRD, Stykman. From the title you might expect a crudely drawn Sigma 6, Casanova, Polly & the Pirates Witchblade book, but it's not. Allan's art is detailed and professional. It just happens to depict a superhero made of wood in the shape • Previews and of a stick figure. He even has little stick eyes that hang by Wonderlands ropes from the top of his otherwise empty, round, stick head. Arcana and Aspen's FCBD And his primary weapon is one of those big, red, Hippity Hop books, Artesia Besieged, balls that kids used to bounce around on in the ‘70s. The story Mouse Guard, Hatter M, is a simple showdown between Stykman and Jolly Roger, a Wonderland, and September 4, 2006: skull-faced, pirate-themed, candy bandit. It's silly and fun Neverwhere Brain, food - Eternal without ever becoming ridiculous and stupid, and that's a big Sabbath and Yakitate!! Japan accomplishment for this kind of book. • Mystery and Horror Galore Monkey in a Wagon vs. Lemur on a Big Wheel #1 Revere, Frankenstein, Written by Ken Lillie-Paetz and Tony DiCerolamo; Illustrated by Wormwood, Spawn, Pat

Chris Moreno and Julie Faulkner Novak, the Haunted And then sometimes "silly and fun" becomes "chuckling and Mansion, Necromancer, and Americanime August 31, 2006: giggling so hard that you have to peek out of your cubicle to National Treasures - make sure no one is giving you funny looks." I bought this one • Bounty Killer, Polly George Gladir and Stan partly because the premise is so absurd that it needed and the Pirates, and Goldberg checking out, but mostly because Chris Moreno is involved and that dude is funny. There are four stories in this issue, each The Line completely silent, each featuring a monkey in a wagon going Tales of adventure up against a lemur in a big wheel. Sometimes it's at the pig races, sometimes it's on pirate ships, sometimes it's at the • Marvel Knights http://www.comicworldnews.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?column=pulllist&page=30 (1 of 6)9/10/06 10:52 PM
