Upcoming: “Princeless” Vol.2, #2 (Action Labs)

I’ve just got hold of Princeless Volume 1 and also the first two issues of Volume 2. In advance of a review, I thought I’d share the cover for the second issue in the second volume, because it made me chuckle. It’s also a sentiment I agree with, and there are certain comics publishers who are entirely guilty of “bringing the whole artform down”, as the character says (long-time readers will know which ones they are, as I can’t pass up an excuse to mention it in my reviews)…

Review of the series coming very soon. This particular issue will hit shelves in March 2013.

The Evolution of a Character, but not a Cover

I should state at the outset that I haven’t read a single Vampirella comic. I am trying to expand the range of comics I read (I prefer DC/Vertigo title over most others), and Dynamite have a lot of titles that I think could be really good – I enjoyed the first couple of issues of The Shadow and Spider, for example, and would like to try Masks, Damsels, Pathfinder, more of The Boys, and also Green Hornet (especially since Mark Waid’s going to be handling the series re-launch in March 2013). I also really like dark and gritty vampire stories. So, I started to look in to Vampirella. And, aside from the multiple spin-off series, I noticed something that really irks me about certain comics, given their content and actual stories.
