Weekly Image poll #17 - Back in business

Hey gang, welp looks like a week disappeared right into the void there, whoops!

Cast your mind back [URL="http://community.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?109858-Weekly-Image-poll-15-Hold-my-Dead-Hand-oh-so-Crudely"]two whole weeks[/URL], back when the world was still innocent, and you might recall that [B]Gideon Falls[/B] #2 won our previous poll!

This week's got a lot going on, so let's do the rundown. Ice Cream Man does a one-shot issue this week, Sacred Creatures finishes its first storyline, and a whooole bunch of series get their first issues reprinted in cheap 1$ formats. Those include: Afar, Age of Bronze, Curse Words, Fear Agent, Moonshine, Moonstruck, Redneck and Street Angel. Good way to sample an ongoing series!

New this week are two graphic novels.
[B]The Pervert[/B] details the life of a trans sex worker in Seattle, billed as an 'unflinching graphic novel', and it looks like it uses anthropomorphised animals in the lead roles.

[B]Crossroad Blues[/B] meanwhile is a crime story set in Mississippi about weird crackpot mysteries, a disappeared college professor, and a hitman believed to be the reincarnation of Elvis Presley. Sounds very hazey to me haha.

KobK #18. I can NOT believe there are only two more issues of this comic book.

I figured Kill or Be Killed would (deservedly) garner a LOT of votes, so I cast mine for Days of Hate, an interesting politically based story set just a few years from now. things are not predicted to be good for any but the rich-rich...

I voted for Days of Hate. Those last 7 pages were so great. Just masterfully done.

I tried Skyward last week, which was kinda cool. I'll check the next issue for sure.

This week I got Hit-Girl #3 - I wouldn't have if it wasn't a 4 issues series or arc. It's really meh at best.

I also got Kill or be killed. And for the first time read it the week it is published! TBH I've read also - for the first time - all the 17 previous issues yesterday. A bit of binge reading and now a few weeks of delectable waiting for the conclusion. Great book. Of course I voted for it.

I checked out Skyward, too. Art was very nice, and I liked the idea of a reduced gravity world, but...

I didn't get it. What was the hook? Who or what was I supposed to care about?

Wife died=over protective father=sheltered daughter who wants to see the forbidden world. It was all rather cliche.

Oh and the dad has a plan to restore gravity!!! But why's that a hook? There was nothing else in the story to make that some big note to end on.

Yes, that's pretty much what was lacking in the first issue - and what I'll be looking for in the second one, glimpsing into it in the LCS...

I would've voted for Dragon, followed by Cyberforce
