Slow Week Equals Walking Dead (No Pun Intended)

I haven’t had the pleasure of physically perusing my comics for this week, but after looking at this week’s releases (on an online catalogue) it doesn’t look like a plethora of comics will be hitting store shelves this week.  Between my girlfriend and I we have a whopping two comics in our Merlyn’s subscription pile.  After several fifty dollar weeks I suppose a six dollar once is in order every once in a while.

As recommended by Bleeding Cool (which I of course am seconding here) this would be an excellent week to catch up on some TPBs.  It’s the perfect time to pick up some graphic novels, because after all the sales are only going to get better from here till the New Year.  I personally plan on picking up a "Walking Dead" TPB or two this evening to fill in my comic void.  I also heard via Bleeding Cool that this week’s issue of "Wasteland" was a good comic to pick up in case you’ve missed it.  It’s similar to "Walking Dead" except more along the vein of "Mad Max."  A comic underdog.

Speaking of Walking Dead and Mad Max I’m planning on writing a comparison of the Walking Dead graphic novel and television show.  With the aftermath of the mid-season finale still lingering horrifically in our hearts I think it would be a perfect time to compare the series with the source material.  I’ll most-likely structure my review akin to my “Wolverine: X-23 vs. Daken” article by describing the two, their similarities and differences, and then wrap up the expose with my opinion and an overall ‘favorite.’

Also, on the Mad Max front I was pleasantly surprised to find out that George Miller will be making three new Mad Max films featuring Tom Hardy (Inception) as the eponymous protagonist.

Well, that’s the wrap-up.  Enjoy the holidays everyone!

Last week or so Celeste and I nabbed an older copy of X-23.  Number seven to be exact, and one of the main reasons we grabbed it was because of the stellar cover.  Here is the cover for X-23 #7:

X-23 #7 Cover by Kalman Andrasofszky

So after becoming intrigued by the cover art I started digging a little deeper into the bio of the artist and it turns out that Kalman Andrasofszky has caught my eye with his art quite a few times without me even knowing it!  He’s worked on the DC 12-part series, Ion, starring Kyle Rayner, X-23 (of course), R.E.B.E.L.S., Soldier Zero, Action Comics, Captain America, and a myriad of others that I enjoy reading but regretfully haven’t been regularly purchasing so hadn’t realized that I was looking at Kalman’s art until now!

Here are some other pieces of art that Kalman has done over the years that has caught my eye:

Definitely check out Kalman Andrasofszky’s blog and/or webpage at ComicVine.  He showcases a lot of his art there, and you could jot him in email or see some of the art that he is working at the moment.
