Fashion Beast #7

Hellboy in Hell #4
By: Mike Mignola, Dave Stewart
Publisher: Dark Horse
Price: $2.99
The Lowdown: This story has been so cool. It is like Hellboy’s own personal odyssey. We are getting a hell of a lot of cool backstory to what happened to Hellboy before the Nazi’s brought him to our world and what he was really intended for. I cannot wait to see what else Mignola has up his sleeve for his best creation.
Sex #1
By: Joe Casey, Piotr Kowalski
Publisher: Image Comics

The Lowdown: Joe Casey has bumped around the different publishers, but most people will recognize his work on Cartoon Network. He is a member of the writing troupe (for lack of a better word) Man of Action and had a hand in “Ben 10″ and “Generator Rex.” Now, he is doing something much more adult oriented. He looks at one former superheroes attempt to reintegrate into the real world.

Avengers #7
By: Jonathan Hickman, Dustin Weaver
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $3.99
The Lowdown: The New Universe was a comic imprint of Marvel’s from the 80s. A lot like how DC Comics has Vertigo. It was supposed to a real world that got superhumans after something called the White Event. The imprint was also supposed to move in real time. Marvel has tried to bring it back a couple times. Now it looks like Marvel is going to work them into Marvel canon. New Universe character, Nightmask, is already a part of Hickman’s Avengers.
