What the is this?
Comic books, rock 'n' roll and movies. I like to think that I've matured past 14-years-old but I suppose you will have to be the judge of that.

Free Crime

This will probably be my last post of 2006 so in the spirit of the holidays how about I give you free comics (and by "give" I mean "point you in the direction of other people who have posted this comics on-line for free (and totally legal)").

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips created one of my all-time favorite comics Sleeper and now they're putting their talents towards the creator-owned Criminal. Marvel put the first issue on-line for all to enjoy. Brubaker's style of character-heavy noir is in full effect and Phillip's art looks great. It looks even better as a comic in your hands than a picture on your monitor so if you like the book why not buy a copy?

I liked Michael Avon Oeming and Ivan Brandon's Cross Bronx so much I named it one of my favorite books of the year. Now you can enjoy it yourself by reading the entire first issue. Like Criminal it's a good noir story but now with a mystical touch. One of the true joys of reading it is seeing how Oeming challenges himself as an artist and delivers his best work.

That's me for this year. Have a happy and safe holidays and thanks for reading!
