Berserker #0 (Top Cow)
(W) Rick Loverd (A) Jeremy Haun (Cov) Dale Keown
Jump on board the new comic series produced by “Heroes†star Milo Ventimiglia and his DiVide Pictures partner, Russ Cundiff. Created by screenwriter Rick Loverd, Berserker combines elements of superheroes with Norse mythology and weaves in the very human themes of self-worth, courage and determination. Throw in some bone-crushing violence and punch-in-the-mouth action and you’ve got a recipe for a great Top Cow book!

Avengers: The Initiative #21
COVER BY: HUMBERTO RAMOS
WRITER: CHRISTOS GAGE
PENCILS: HUMBERTO RAMOS
COLORED BY: STUDIO F – EDGAR DELGADO
LETTERED BY: VC – JOE CARAMAGNA
THE INITIATIVE DISASSEMBLED begins here! The Fifty State Initiative stands revealed as a Skrull plot. Key personnel have left Camp Hammond, never to return. And that’s the least of the shocking fallout from Secret Invasion. Is there a future for our heroes? It could be a moot question when the mad clone of Thor, last seen in CIVIL WAR, is revived and turned loose on Stamford! This is no idle hype, True Believer–after this story, the Initiative will never be the same!

its gotta be mimic
No Heroic is filled with sex, sex references, inuendos and some real bad language, still funnier then most 30 minutes comedies out there thou. Hell, Time Bomb, the gay superhero who can see 60 seconds in the futur, says to a guy stopping him from getting to the bar’s bathroom (who asked a password, just to bully people around): “move or I’ll rape and kill you” and the guy and his friends all freeze and he finally answers in weak voice “close enough” at lets him pass.
In the US killing, beheading and torturing is fine as long as there is no bad laguage, they would never show the original.
It’s the so called “South Park: longer, bigger and uncut” syndrome…
P.S.- My stomach still hurts about your “Special Invasion” comment LOL!
Ay, I just could not get into Scott Pilgrim. I tried to read the first volume and it annoyed me in the same way that Juno annoys me. And I’m supposed to be part of the target demographic. It just felt like it tried too hard to be quirky and hipsterish. But I will say that Michael Cera was a good casting choice.
This week was one of the best you guys have done. I think that I just might bag n’ board it! =D
Oh and Rodgrigo, we’re totally on the same level of awesome.
@Graciele
Too hipster-ish….i thought it was a bit toned down. Which i am very thankful for!
@Graciela
Speaking for my age group…for good or bad.
@Turks
Yes…
Also Stephen said: Blow his load so we can all enjoy it….that sentence had me rolling on the floor.
