It's almost here! New Comic Book Day! I've listed some things below that you should feel free to buy your favourite blogger come the holidays, AKA: Me.
Dark Horse Comics
Clown Fatale #1
You never heard of this book? Well let me give you the scoop... Basically, sexy female clowns are mistaken for contract killers and abandon their shabby traveling circus for a world of violence and cruelty with clown makeup. Wait! Don't go!! Let me explain... It's written by Victor Gischler who has made a career out of balancing humor, drama and high octane action... Have you ever read Deadpool Corps? How about Kiss Me, Satan? Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Spike? If you have you know where I'm coming from... It's 18+ though so kids stay away from this... Grab Star Wars instead.
