Image Comic of the Week Oct 3/14 - Fade Out #2, Rat Queens #8, Alex +Ada #9, God Hates Astronauts #2

[quinnzel]

I had to vote God Hates Astronauts this week because I laughed so hard while I was reading it, I can't even begin to tell you. I thought it was even more hilarious than the first issue was and it's one of those books that I finish and I want the next one right now. It's just so, so good on so many levels and I love it so much.

Close second is Fade Out, which continues to blow me away with its art, gritty noir atmosphere and story-telling. I'm so engrossed in this story. I can't wait to find out who was behind everything and I also love the parts in the backs of each issue with true (and tragic) stories about real Hollywood actors and actresses. It really adds a lot to the book and I'm also learning a lot when I read the stories, too.

Nice, nice. We gotta get the word out on GHA. Need more votes.

Pretty slow and forgettable week overall for Image. Only two books I've read from them... might as well toss in the other Indie comics I read as well...

Here's how the Indie scene looked for me this week:

American Vampire: Second Cycle #5
Rat Queens #8
Silent Hill Downpour: Anne's Story #2
Protectors, Inc. #9
Hinterkind #12

Yeah I know, only 2 out of 5 are Image comics. Rat Queens was best from Image this week, but still American Vampire was best Indie book (and best book in general) I read this week. hopefully things pick up next week.

Hell yes! Everyone buy this book nooowwww.

I thought it was awesome and voted for it. I have never laughed so hard reading a comic book series as I have with GHA. It is pure genius.

Awesome. Just ordered the first two issues, so it looks like I made a good choice.

How does everyone feel about Tech Jacket so far? Read the first three issues and I really liked the book. Waiting for Invincible Universe to start up again

[Smoov-E]

Out of Nailbiter, Fade Out and Rat Queens I picked Rat Queens

Awesome one and done issue

Definitely!! I think it's just one of those obscure titles that people probably haven't really heard of before, but it deserves all the praise it gets and more. I can have a terrible week and read an issue and it just makes everything better because how can you be in a bad mood when there's Hennifer and King Tiger Eating A Cheeseburger?

Hell yes! Everyone buy this book nooowwww.

Seconding!!

Awesome. Just ordered the first two issues, so it looks like I made a good choice.

You will absolutely love it. Definitely won't be a purchase you regret

I only read The Fade Out (from Image) this week, and it was the best book on my pile. Great stuff.

quinnzel make sure you read the volume 1 trade of GHA. I nearly died when I read the origin of King Tiger Eating A Cheeseburger LOL. Completely lost it when he strapped a bomb to the crab guy's private parts.

Well, Alex + Ada, Fade Out & Madame Frankenstein are on my pull list, but I wound up in the hospital so I haven't seen them. I've been enjoying comparing Alex + Ada & Madame Frankenstein and how they address topics like free will, mob mentality, etc.

Also have the first issues of non-Image titles Fiction Squad & Holmes vs. Houdini waiting at my LCS. Hopefully when I get discharged, I'll be able to have someone pick up my stash.

Oh whoa sorry to hear that, you alright? Whatever it is (you don't need to tell us on here obviously for privacy reasons) wish you the best, get well soon! Comics can wait for a lil' while, they'll be around when you get discharged.

Unexpected foot surgery. Should be getting discharged tomorrow, but will be homebound for a bit. Might have to twist some pinkies to get my stash picked up. Sure would have been nice to kill some of the boredom.

Rorschach would be proud.
But alright, good luck & speedy recovery then! Hospital stays are dreadfully boring indeed.
