This past Friday, Keith’s Komix celebrated its 15th Anniversary! Serena and I received the party invite 2 weeks prior and decided to hold off on picking up our pull until that Friday night when everything would be 35% off! We did pick up one or two comic books each Wednesday prior to that Friday just to hold us over til then. We got there around 7pm and got some pizza fresh from the oven of Mario’s Pizza next door. Brandon, Keith’s son, was selling Boy Scout’s popcorn and there were cooler filled with ice and various drinks (non-alcoholic of course). We grabbed ourselves some pizza and pop and mingled for a bit. It was a pretty nice turn out. Serena didn’t bring her camera but Cathy, Keith’s wife, had hers and took some cool pics of the festivities. On top of our pull, we each picked up a graphic novel and I picked up more supplies to sort and organize the 4 months of comics I have sitting by my desk.

MY GRAPHIC NOVEL PICK: DAREDEVIL: YELLOW

COVER BY: TIM SALE
WRITER: JEPH LOEB
PENCILS: TIM SALE
THE STORY:
“The measure of a man is not in how he gets knocked to the mat, it is in how he gets up.” Those are the words blind attorney Matthew Murdock’s father lived and died by. Prizefighter Battlin’ Jack Murdock’s murder set in motion a chain of events that exploded with a new super hero swinging out of New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen – the blind Acrobat Daredevil. In this retelling of the early career of the Man Without Fear, the Eisner Award-winning team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale (Spider-Man: Blue, Batman: The Long Halloween) have taken an inspiring action-adventure story and blended it with a romantic comedy. The result, highlighted by Sale’s dazzling ink washes and Matt Hollingsworth’s spectacular color, is the heartwarming and heartbreaking story of two young people in love – Matthew Murdock and Karen Page. Collecting DAREDEVIL: YELLOW #1-6.

SERENA’S GRAPHIC NOVEL PICK: CINDERELLA: FROM FABLETOWN WITH LOVE

Written by CHRIS ROBERSON • Art by SHAWN MCMANUS • Cover by CHRISSIE ZULLO

In this new title collecting the hot 6-issue miniseries from the writer of iZOMBIE, Fabletown’s top agent must stop illegal trafficking in supernatural artifacts. But can Cindy foil the dark plot before Fabletown is exposed to the mundy world? Includes special extras!

On a side note, this post is my 2000th post! And I can’t think of a better post to write up other than one about comic books!

HAPPY READING!
