IC Keep Read Walking Dead

It may seem a bit weird to be reading about the the end of the world in The Walking Dead while the world is going through what it may, however entertainment, & especially great writing has contributed to providing great peaceful mindfulness in the masses since before the 1st ever recognized pandemic ever occured....

Right now, due to covid, a restlessness in all of us, & just because creator Robert Kirkman is such a wonderful fan of his fans, thanks to their support of his Invincible Comics, Outcast Comics, Oblivion Song Comics, & the newst addition, Firepower Comics, he is bringing back the ORIGINAL modern [21st Century] zombie horror comic as a bi-weekly "THANK YOU..." to them!!

Saying the year 2020 bombed might be disrespectful to comparing it to the idea of posting a picture of your exotic vacation in the middle of a pandemic, ....maybe, however with more thought, ....probably not! 

IC 5 DRIVE SAT N FEVER

 

However, needing some escapism from it, a place to rest, relax your brain, and try to regain some of the senses of peace not seen in awhile...that, when done locally, safely, & with great care in mind for all...it IS possible!

#2......IMAGE COMICS mega-hit monthly series 'THE WALKING DEAD' was picked
up as a AMC TV-Series, thereby exposing the already 'scary-hot' [#1 was selling for

comic to millions of new readers who have now [re]discovered the medium of REAL
[maturely created] sequential art....
 
#3......PETER  PARKER DIES!...& stayed dead even! MARVEL COMICS modern-line
[....called 'ULTIMATE', begun in 2001...] heroes where stunned, as was all of New York,
when Spider-man was killed in a drag-out royal-rumble, leaving a grieving Aunt May, and 
heartbroken Gwen Stacy & Mary Jane....
 
 A new person, Miles is trying to take his place...
 
#4......OWLs, OWLs, EVERYWHERE!.....As noted above, 'BATMAN', part of DC's NEW-52

take-no-prisonors monthly comic series!
Also new: BUFFY Season 9, ANGEL Season 8, & Smallville Season 11,....only in comics!
 
 
#7......VERTIGO COMICS EXPAND!...DC Comics reality-based imprint hit full-stride as new-older-readers flooded in [thanks to exposure from things like 'The Walking Dead'] to discover & try comics which reinforce 'NOT treating their readers like a kid', with impressive complex storylines like 'FABLES' [fairy-tale characters existing in reality...LONG b4 you saw it on TV in Once Upon A Time or Grimm!], Y-the LAST MAN [last guy in world of women-but SO MUCH better than it sounds!], DMZ [about a present-day American Civil War], and many more reality-based, fantasy-set, horror-filled, or crime-oriented monthly comic books.... 
 
 
#8...DIRECTOR KEVIN [Clerks,Jay & Silent Bob] SMITH is writing comic books again, albeit an unlikely one [after writing a THE GREEN HORNET monthly title last year], as THE BIONIC MAN is BACK as a monthly comic after far too long!.....The Six Million Dollar Man comic writer CAN hit deadlines, after all!...... :o)

-Kaiba: "Draw your last pathetic card so I can end this, Yugi!"
-Yami: "My grandfather's deck has no pathetic cards, Kaiba.  But it does contain... the unstoppable Exodia!"
-------Yu-Gi-Oh!...The Animated Series Quote

 


"People think it's an obsession,....a compulsion,...as if there were an irresistible impulse to act...
It's never been like that. I chose this life. I know what I'm doing, and on any given day I could stop doing it....
Today, however, isn't that day....and tomorrow won't be either."
------BATMAN in Identity Crisis, words by Brad Meltzer----

 


"I Choose YOU,...Pikachu!!!"

-----POKEMON, the comic [manga]-----

 

 

 

   Want to score big with a parent?.....Pick up any issue of  TINY TITANS [dcKids].....perfect for ANY AGE, large panels, simple words, and FUN stories!   

 

It's WORTH the drive (or walk, or subway, then bus,...or even BIKE-Ride....in these environmentally savvy times) to Streetsville, MISSISSAUGA (West of Toronto, Canada).
