Those darn funny books

Ironically, none of them are actually funny.

Punisher: The End $4.50

Garth Ennis and Richard Corben team up to bring us the tale of Frank Castle's death. Frankly (heh) I couldn't have wished for a better creative team for this book. Ennis has become THE definitive Punisher writer, and should be given a lifetime contract to write every Punisher story that will ever exist. Yeah, it sounds a little fanboyish, but he's that damn good at it. This book was great. Of course, it's got some very mature content, and should be avoided by those under age. The rest of you may revel in the violent beauty that is this book.

Thanos #9 $2.99

Thanos faces the Beyonder. Guess who wins? You're probably wrong...especially if you said Thanos.

Supreme Power #9 $2.99

Hyperion seeks answers about himself and his past, and will do whatever it takes to get them. Unfortunately for him General Casey is determined to destroy him, instead he just pisses him off.

Y, The Last Man #21 $2.99

Yorick and Co. discover a dead road crew, and a group of women who rule a certain stretch of highway they need to cross. What will the good ol' Doc do to get them past these women? Guess will find out next issue.

30 Days of Night: Return to Barrow #1 $3.99

Niles and Templesmith continue to churn out there excellent vampire series, this time focusing on the new Sherriff of Barrow, who happens to be related to one of the victims from the attack years ago. Great, great stuff.

Also, for more comic book stuff, check out Tony Whitt's new Comicscape column over at Cinescape.com, he's also got a new review up. As always, the link's to the right.
