Wednesday means New Comics Day means New Promotional Comic Strip For BOOM! Studios Day, so make sure you visit the BOOM! Studios page (and look below the fold) or Benjamin Birdie’s WebComicsNation page (to view it super-sized) and check out what happens when I mock two of the nicest people I’ve met that work in the televisual and cinematic media.
Coming in late (and I think it should serve as a handy reminder that the next volume will be on the shelves in the next few weeks) is this review of several BOOM! titles, including What Were They Thinking: Monster Mash-Up. Here’s the friendly-to-my-ego bit:
What Were They Thinking: Monster Mash-Up #1 is another of those comics where they take old comic stories and re-mix them with new dialog. It’s pretty much the standard stuff you’d expect, and would be completely forgettable if not for blogger Kevin Church’s “Hairy Grrls,” in which a frustrated narrator to the story is the real star, with laugh-out-loud bits in nearly every panel. Worth the $4 for those seven pages alone.
