SNOTGIRL Vol. 1 and AUTUMNLANDS Vol. 2 Arrive This Week!
If you’re looking for something a little different, SNOTGIRL is definitely worth a look. It’s basically about a gorgeous fashion blogger who has an uncontrollable snot problem. And I’m not talking your regular “I have a cold” or “It’s my allergies” snot, we’re talking a ludicrous amount of toxic green ooze that may or may not have been responsible for mutating our favorite heroes in a half shell. It’s nasty, but oh so entertaining. Did I mention it’s written by the creator of SCOTT PILGRIM? There has been a lot of hype surrounding this book, and I can safely say it is all well earned. This week is the best chance to catch up!
From bestselling BRYAN LEE O'MALLEY (Scott Pilgrim) and superstar newcomer LESLIE HUNG! Lottie Person is a glamorous fashion blogger living her best life-at least that’s what she wants you to think. The truth is, her friends are terrible people, her boyfriend traded her up for someone younger, her allergies are out of control, and she may or may not have killed somebody! SNOTGIRL, VOL. 1 is the perfect introduction to one of 2016’s most buzzed-about titles! Collects SNOTGIRL #1-5.
And speaking of something a little different, Image is putting out another trade paperback collection this week well worth your time. AUTUMNLANDS (formerly TOOTH & CLAW) Volume 2 releases this week and is easily one of my favorite on-going books these days. It stars a magically gifted dog-man living in a universe where human-like animal creatures wield magical powers. There’s a surprising amount of drama, back-stabbing, and action in this book delivering a very engaging story with a fun cast of characters! And what’s with that weird human walking around?
Stranded in the mountains, the Great Champion and the young dog-wizard Dusty discover gods, goats, living statues, oracular crows, and dangerous secrets about the history of the Autumnlands. Secrets that could help them save the world-if they’re able to survive. The hit epic-fantasy series continues, by superstar creators KURT BUSIEK, BENJAMIN DEWEY and JORDIE BELLAIRE. Named one of the A.V. Club’s Best of 2015. Collects THE AUTUMNLANDS #7-14.
Image Comics is really delivering the goods this week and I can highly recommend both of these titles. Check em out!
