Below are some preview pages for Demon's Regret #2! In issue #2, the demon Asmodeus causes a satan worshiping serial killer to collide with a well-protected crime lord with the hopes of killing two birds with one stone!
The concluding issue to the mini-series is due in stores in October. In issue 3, Asmodeus recalls his involvement with history’s most infamous criminals and war mongers. Then, under suspicion from Lucifer, Asmodeus must deceive the Great Deceiver himself!

Adam Among the GODS- Aazurn Publishing



Adam Among the Gods, Aazurn Pubishing. Full size comic, full color inside and out. Art by James Lyle, Story, colors and more by Gary Scott Beatty. $3.99 24 pages.

The story was captivating from the start. The art is wonderful and the coloring really accentuates it all. This is a great comic. The story is one that I think more movies are about to explore in slightly different ways (See Blindness out this summer for one of them.) where in our quest for perfection, there is always a cost. I won't give it away here but this is a very good take on that premise. The reveal of Adam was complete for me and I should have seen it coming but didn't. I'd of not shown that image on the cover if it was me. You see I didn't look at it all that close at first and was glad I didn't since I let the story unfold and they have it sprung on me. Bravo to this team of creators for a very nice comic package. Very cool design to have the book appear to be in the grass and being read by someone. A book within a book.

I have already reviewed Seductions by AAzurn Pubishing, another book I really liked.

Adam gets 5 out of 5 stars!

Not My Small Diary #14 (Part 1 and 2) the dating issue. Part 1 68 digest pages, with part two a total of 138 pages of comics. Color stock paper covers with fancy ribbon string binding and attached mini comic size cover to the cover.
Delaine Derry Green has a fantastic package of comics here about true dating stories from 53 artist creators. This marks her 12th year of putting out Not My Small Diary. From the looks of this great body of work here I'm hoping she keeps it up for years to come. A very nicely designed package with comics from contibutors such as: Donna Barr, Suzanne Baumann, T. Motley, Jim Siergy, Maximum Traffic, Andrew Goldfar, Lee J. Green, Sara Gion and many many more. I read these cover to cover and was facinated with all the different stories and art styles. I love it. This is well worth $6 + $1 per set. So I give it a huge 5 out of 5 stars!

DEMON’S REGRET – THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL

DEMON’S REGRET – THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL
A fallen angel seeks redemption that can never be had

Haverhill, MA, April 8, 2008 – When Lucifer decided to wage war on heaven with his third of the host of heaven’s angels in tow, the lot of them fell from grace, forever condemned and cast away from the Almighty. Now one of them regrets having followed his new master and tries to make amends the only way he can.

In Demon’s Regret, Asmodeus fell with the rest of his brethren and he has carried that guilt throughout time. Unfortunately, his demon status can never be revoked, but that won’t stop him from thwarting Satan’s plans any which way he can. Taking matters into his own hands, as he has done throughout history, Asmodeus uses the tools he has at his disposal to throw a pitchfork in the plans of the Father of All Lies.

Writer/Creator Mitch Brown tells this classic religious story with a new twist, dictated masterfully by his crisp dialogue and incredible imagination. Joining him for the ride is Comic Book Idol 3 finalist, and current Boom Studios! artist, Wilfredo Torres (Salem: Queen of Thorns) lending his exquisite artistic stylings to breathe life into this supernatural world. Colorist Mike Kilgore and letterer/designer Nate Pride also add their formidable talents and experience to the production of the book.

Providing covers for the book is comic book veteran and artist extraordinaire, Michael Golden. Golden’s work can also be seen in recent issues of Iron Man, Exiles and Wonder Woman, and such classics as G.I. Joe, Micronauts, Batman and so much more.

Demon’s Regret joins other popular titles from Digital Webbing, including Bloodrayne, Bleeders, Team 14 and Dark 48.

Seductions - Aazurn Publishing

Seductions - Aazurn Publishing. Full size comic, full color inside and out. 22 pages. No price on book. Gary Scott Beatty (writer, typeography and colors) and Bill Bryan (art). Suggested for Mature Readers.

Nicely designed package. The story by Gary is very entertaining, takes you to different time periods following a vampire. How does he get his prey? How does he fit in? The art is a little off in the proportions here or there, but Bill is really pushing everything. He is stretching to draw so much, lush backgrounds, rooms full of people....Most of the time he really pulls it off. I just feel (and I'm being really picky here) that his figures look a bit too stiff and lifeless at times. His work does remind me of Neal Adams, and that isn't a bad thing.

Overall everything works great here, coloring, lettering, and art all flow nicely with the story. I was drawn to flip the pages to see what was going to happen next. Totally unpredictable story. Great work!
(5 out of 5 stars)

No price on the cover or inside which was strange. Seems a waste to put the same thing on the inside backcover as the inside cover, and a bigger waste to put the cover on the back cover as well. But that is just my opinion. Nice little bio of Gary and Bill in the back and nice ad page for Gary after that.

Carrie Taylor's -Images


Carry Taylor's- Images. 8 page black and white mini comic + color covers. Writing: Carry Tylor, art Dan Taylor. $1.50 ppd.

A look at how people feel about their looks and how it can be considered an image disorder when they obsess about it. Women that think they look too fat no matter how thin they are, etc....

The art is very well done by Dan here and nice use of grey tones. The writing really makes you think. In the back there is more info about how this comic came to be and how Carry is actually doing something to help councel people with their self perception disorders.

(5 out of 5 stars)
Hey, a comic that can actually help people!

Zephyr & Reginald: Minions for Hire #2




Zephyr & Reginald: Minions for Hire #2. Full size comic, 30 pages, black and white, full color cover. $3.50
Scripting and Editing: Rick Silva and Gynn Stella. Pencils, Inks, and Lettering: Gynn Stella

This was an entertaining read with adequate art. The story of two nerdy scientists, minions, that go to work for Doctor Despot who has plans to take over the world. Finally see behind the scenes of what it really takes to run a evil Industry from the eyes of the minons that make it all happen behind the curtin.

Lots of info about the characters on the inside cover. This story is well thought out with lots of humor peppered around to keep you interested. As if you'd not be interested in how someone goes about taking over the world. The art is a big rough but with nice grey tones and lots of background work in the images, Gynn Stella shows she has the ability to tell the story well. She just needs a little more work in human anatomy but I'm being picky here. Get on the bandwagon and start reading Z & R: Minons for Hire! (4 stars out of 5)
