Savage Sword of Conan Volume 1 !!! A collection of AWESOME!!!

I am soooo excited to have these beauties!!! I got volumes 1 thru 5 and will be reading the heck out of these!!

Oh, you probably want to know what I'm talking about.....

This is SAVAGE SWORD of CONAN vol 1 from Dark Horse Books!!!!

This volume collects Conan's appearances in Savage Tales of Conan 1 thru 5 and Savage Sword of Conan (SSOC) issues 1 thru 10!!

I still remember the first time I read SSOC. I was in study hall and one guy had a few. He and his friends were talkin them up. I remember asking them about the mag and after a bit of reluctance on his part (I cant blame him, I had long hair, wore concert tees and a leather jacket everywhere and reeked of smoke) he let me read one........I WAS HOOKED!! I had a paper route at the time and every Saturday my Dad would take me to the SuperFlea in Depew (GEX for us old people) and I'd fly past the knives, swords and bongs and get right to the Queen City Comic stand. But after that experience I'd add SSOC to my loot along with GI JOE, Punisher, The Nam and the many others. I couldn't believe that so much could be packed into a wonderful black and white magazine!!

Beautiful art!!


Awesome action!!

and of course!!! The voluptuous WOMEN!!!




I started reading somewhere around issue 100 back then but I am so stoked to start at the beginning and relive these memories. Just flipping through it now I get such more appreciation for the art in this book. I cannot stress enough how much I will enjoy this journey!!

Dynamite Comics Bionic Man by Kevin Smith PICK THIS UP!!!

When I heard about Dynamite comics Bionic Man I was intrigued. When I heard its based off Kevin Smith's unreleased 6 Million Dollar Man screenplay I was interested. After reading the first 9 comics....I'M HOOKED!!

Bionic Man Kevin Smith 9

That's the cover of the newest release!

Bionic Man Kevin Smith 9

Awesome art !!

Bionic Man Kevin Smith 9

Its not the OLD Bionic Man !! (Yes he rips off his finger to hit a switch :)

Kevin Smith's reboot of the 6 Million Dollar Man is well worth it. I don't want  to spoil the story but it is well written, has wonderful art and engaging character development. The dialogue is sharp and the pacing is quick !!

Steve Austin is written as a man created as a cyborg against his will and the story explores his spite against it! He has a really interesting villain and the pieces of the story fit together well!

If you are interested in a good new comic and want to read a  6 Million Dollar Man story the way it should have been written then pick this up it wont disappoint !!
