Marvel Holiday Special #1 (Marvel)

On the 1st day of Chanukah I would like to honor the holidays by making Kara's comic for Comic Book Week December 14th, 2011, Marvel Holiday Special!

"Happy Holidays, Dirtbag!"~Benjamin Grimm / Thing

cover artists: Tim Seeley & Leonardo Olea
digital production manager: Tim Smith 3
collection editor: Cory Levine
assistant editors: Alex Starbuck & Nelson Ribeiro
editors, special projects: Jennifer Grünwald & Mark D. Beazley
senior editor, special projects: Jeff Youngquist
senior vice president of sales: David Gabriel
svp of brand planning & communications: Michael Pasciullo
editor in chief: Axel Alonso
chief creative officer: Joe Quesada
publisher: Dan Buckley
executive producer: Alan Fine



"Cold Hearted Christmas"~Miljenko Horvatic, Andrew Trabbold, Jeff Campbell, Rob Steen, Jody LeHeup

In the 1st story of this collection Spider-Man encounters a Mohawk thief & arrests her but then feels bad for her about her lost family & delivers her a gift in prison. That is the whole story as told by her. The art work is the best of the 4 stories but the story is only okay.

Have a good winter solstice! ;*)

6 snow people out of 10!                                                                               


"Logan's Lost Lesson"~Kurtis J. Wiebe, Patrick Scherberger, Cory Hamscher, Veronica Gandini, Simon Bowland, Jordan D. White

In the 2nd story Logan...........Wolverine natch! ;) ..........Kitty Pride & Bobby Drake...........Ice man natch! ;) .............decide to teach a team of young mutants a lesson by making them play a hockey game. The story is not not fun but I do not under stand what the lesson was! O,o

Happy holiday bub! ;*)

5 snow people out of 10!                                                                               


"Ol' Saint Nick"~Aaron Shaps, Sebastian Piriz, Jeff Campbell, Rob Steen, Sebastian Girner

In the 3rd story Colonel Nick Fury of SHIELD..........Supreme Headquarters International Espionage Law-Enforcement Division *whew!* natch!.............invades a Hydra............they are the bad guys............base to give a message to the "young Hydra upstart" called The Scar on Christmas Eve. The message may be made me tear up a little bit but the story & art work could have been worked on a little bit longer..............& I thought that Nick Fury was Jewish? `;S

Merry Xmas! ;*)

4 snow people out of 10!                                                                               


"Chinese Food for Christmas"~James S. Rich, Paco Diaz, Jean-Francois Beaulieu, Jeff Eckleberg, Daniel Ketchum

In the last story Benjamin Grimm is on his way to enjoy a Chinese food feast with his Jewish super hero friends on Xmas day when he is side tracked by a monster stealing worth less Xmas things. It turns out that the monster was being lead by poor orphans so Benjamin invites them to dinner. This is a nice little story with decent art work.

L'chaim! ;*)

(iZombie created by Roberson & Allred)







Kara's comic for Comic Book Week December 7th, 2011, is "Take Out"..............& from the cover to the last page it is just lots of fun!

As you can all see the cover is an homage to Teen Beat Magazine & may be Fangoria too..............& then a fabulous round about tale where the main character Gwen ends up pulled from her boy friend while her bffs.............best friend forevers natch! ;) .............Ellie the ghost & Spot the were terrier get to fight for their own love lives with a Frankenstein's Monster & a cute guy possessed by the ghost of a really old & stuffy super hero! & there is a a whole vampire menage a trois thrown in just in case you were getting board! Oh! & the Dead Presidents are in here too! *whew!*

So if you have been reading my reviews at all you know my feelings that Chris Roberson is just............! :) & Mike & Laura Allred are just living legends soooooooo there is really no way that this comic can not be the most fabulous thing to come in to your LCBS............local comic book shop natch!............in the past week is there? ;)

The Walking Dead Weekly #48 (Skybound / Image) / Superman Secret Identity #2 (DC)

So I had to have 2 Kara's comix for Comic Book Week November 30th, 2011..............& I hope that I can get across to you why!

"Don't look back, Carl--just--"~Rick

creator, writer: Robert Kirkman
penciler, inker, cover: Charlie Adlard
gray tones, cover colors: Cliff Rathburn
letterer: Russ Wooton
editor: Sina Grace











Kara's 1st comic is The Walking Dead Weekly #48.......................wow! 8O

 the television show on AMC...........as I have said in the past............& I have said how much I  this comic.................but this ish......................wow! 8O

The biggest bad guy in the whole of the Walking Dead universe..............the Governor..................& if you do not know who the Governor is you have to do some reading................attacks our heroes' prison home & everything changes! & that is all I can say! What you think is the last thing that could ever happen is not the last thing that could ever happen & the last thing that could ever happen happens!!!!!!!!!!!! Really! It is sooooooooo much more shocking than what just happened in the 1/2 season finale!

& the art work is fabulous as always! ;)

RATING: 8 ½ zombies out of 10!!!!


"It's not a little secret. It's not safe. Not harmless. I just don't know if that makes it all right to intrude. Or worse."~Clark Kent

writer: Kurt Busiek
artist: Stuart Immonen












Kara's comic was going to just be the Walking Dead until I read this ish! A man in the real world named Clark Kent grows super powers at the age of 13...............& the result is a wonderfully  warming tale!

Ironically every 1 jokes that Clark...........who is a writer but not for a major metropolitan news paper...........is Superman............with out knowing that he actually is! He wears the costume in the belief that if any 1 sees him they will think that they are hallucinating. & he marries an Indian woman named Lois. The whole story is so fabulously crafted to see how this man named Clark Kent with out wanting to begins to live   Superman's life............while trying to live a normal life.

In this ish Lois & he have twin daughters...........Jane & Carol..........who he must protect from a government that he fears is trying to find him out...............& who may or may not have inherited his super powers. & this is the story.............Superman as a family man.

Stuart Immonen is as always a genius in the art work & I  that they are the only credits..........no offence to any of the other creators who may have been involved but this seems like such a simple & intimate tale that it seems so appropriate.

I have not read ish #1 but I will have to go back to my LCBS..........local comic book shop natch!...........to find it...............& so should you! :)

RATING: 9 ½ Supergirl twins out of 10!!!!!!!

Bye! ツ*
