Comic Review: Super F*ckers #4

Tom Slaski   |  

Top Shelf-Super F*ckers #279Super F*ckers #4
By James Kochalka
Top Shelf Productions
Cover price: $5.00; On-sale now

If Watchmen deconstructed the superhero, then Super F*ckers reconstructs them into drug-addicted, egotistical, power-hungry sex fiends.

Super F*ckers is a hilarious, satirical, superhero romp. Of all the bad things you ever thought about doing if you had superpowers, the cast of Super F*ckers outdoes completely because you don’t have superpowers and they really do! Vortex alters reality just to impress his girlfriend. When Grotessa asks Vortex if he saved the world again he replies “Yeah, a little.”

Princess Sunshine sleeps with team leader Grotus, who is a small, smelly, disgusting, purple version of the Herculoids Gloop, just to gain some influence. Jack Krak and Burdock pummel each other to be the first one to get to Grotus’s sex leaving’s which get you higher than a hot-air balloon filled with paste. Jack Krak is the mother f*cker!

The profanity vocabulary is raised to new heights as Kochalka extends, hacks, combines and evolves every curse and insult you have ever heard. The verbiage itself is enough to keep you laughing, let alone the antics going along with it.

Crucial Crisis Comix - Intrepid #1Intrepid #1-2
Written by Jose Loeri

Cover price: $2.95; Available now

What do you call it when one man takes on an entire regiment of armed soldiers to escape from a government prison and then makes his way to Mexico and then gets a bar blown up while fighting his way through two other former teammates who have been artificially enhanced? I call it Intrepid.

In “Preamble”, the first of the 7-issue “Heroes and Villains” arc of Intrepid, we meet Joseph Paxton. Intrepid is the only way to describe him. A man who seems willing to take on anybody and anything to rescue a friend and former underling. A man with amazing powers himself. But he may also have memory implants, so we cannot trust anything that he remembers.

Comic Review: Birth TPB and Novo #1-3

Alterna Comics - Birth Trade PaperbackBirth TPB and Novo #1-3
Written and Created by Michael S. Bracco
Alterna Comics
Birth: Cover price: $8.00; Available Now
Novo: #1-3, Cover price: $3.00; Available Now

Hot alien sex, cool monsters, wild alien technology, huge, bloody war scenes, a progeny, and a world’s fight for survival.

You had me at hot alien sex.

One world. Two species. A planet divided. Will they destroy one another or work together to solve their mutual problem? Michael S. Bracco starts his epic with the graphic novel Birth. Alterna Comics then publishes issues 1-3 following the journey of the offspring Novo.

Although it’s 88 pages Birth is a swift, smooth read. Take your time and take it all in though because Bracco chronicles the story of a world that has come to its penultimate epoch, thus creating its one chance for salvation, Novo. In it there are whole pages devoted to small single panels that not only show the passage of time and space, but also evoke emotion. Bracco’s backgrounds seem especially influenced by manga and they have a very alive, flowing feel. The art seems more etched than drawn. The covers for both Birth and all the Novo issues are in color, however the interiors are all black and white. Whether it is natural or conformed, Bracco’s style is perfect for the black and white medium. The waterfront battle scene is very graphic, but the black and white format absorbs some of the horror.

In Novo, the hero starts his journey. He’s not really a hero, but more a victim who has learned what has been inflicted upon himself and his world. In his innocence Novo theorizes, “There’s got to be whole worlds filled with people who have mothers and fathers, people who don’t hate each other, people who don’t kill each other over nothing.” Well, we are exploring space…

DVD Review: 30 Rock — Season 1
space
Tom Slaski   |  

30 RockI love Liz Lemon! Physically!

I disliked her on Saturday Night Live, where she won an Emmy for writing before becoming one of the cast, but I love Tina Fey‘s alter ego Liz Lemon, who is head honcho of her own late night sitcom show on NBC’s 30 Rock.

30 Rock — which won the Emmy this year for Best Comedy — is a comedy that revolves around Liz Lemon who heads the whacky crew of a Saturday Night Live-type of show. The hysterical characters are played perfectly by this all-star cast. Jane Krakowski plays Jenna Maroney, the lead of The Girlie Show, until Alec Baldwin‘s character, Jack Donaghy, decides to draft ex-movie star Tracy Jordan, played by Tracy Morgan, to rejuvenate the show with his, literally, crazy antics. Liz has to learn to manage these and all the other cast members, including the writers and an NBC page, played by Jack McBrayer, under Jack’s wing. Kenneth the page is a standout character. He is played masterfully by McBrayer. Alec Baldwin is brilliant as Donaghy. A television performance like this is pure perfection and a joy to watch. Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski are great also, along with guest stars such as Isabella Rossellini, Nathan lane, Will Arnett, and Paul Reubens.

The Complete First season DVD of 30 Rock collects all 21 episodes and includes a bunch of bonus features, including cast commentary, original featurettes, bloopers, and deleted scenes.

Comic Review: Cyblade — Pilot Season #1

CybladeCyblade: Pilot Season #1
Written by Joshua Hale Fialkov
Pencils & Inks by Rick Mays

Letters by Troy Peteri

Cover price: $2.99; On-sale: Sept 2007

There is one beautiful, sexy woman coming after you. That might be a good thing if it wasn’t the trained killer Cyblade, one of the most popular members of Top Cow’s original flagship series Cyberforce.

Cyblade, 19-year-old Dominique Thibaut, has the power to create psychic blades and power bursts which can affect both animate and inanimate objects. She is an incredible athlete and acrobat and, boy, can she wear a g-string. However, she’s a little low on self-esteem, which is why her good friend Rashell is there to coach her along via radio on one of her first missions for Cyberdata. Cyberdata is where she thinks she has been training for six months and who sends her on a mission to retrieve their Tachyon Emolliator.

On this outing she uses her powers, skills, and looks to stun the men, and the security, while fulfilling the objective (you’ll love where she hides the emolliator). Rashell actually turns out to be a spy who is infiltrating Cyberdata and who hopes to draft Cyblade to his cause by telling her her life is a lie and that Cyberdata is manipulating her. At the end of the mission Rashell goes missing and Cyblade is charged with finding and killing him. Will Dominique remain a good soldier, or will she abandon her backer and join forces with Rashell and his underground rebels? This premise is what Top Cow hopes will hook you in to following, and voting for, the series.
