Despite heavy competition from Return of Bruce Wayne and surprisingly Green Arrow, I have to give this week’s Quick Pick to the continuing adventures of Scott Snyder and Stephen King’s imaginative take on the vampire mythology. I’m running out of words to say about this series, so let’s just say it’s off-the-wall fun and carries a good amount of emotional depth to it. King here finally seems to come into his own in his back-up tale after 3 issues of him adjusting to writing in this medium. We’re getting just enough about Skinner Sweet and what his new breed of vampire brings to the table and yet not enough that we get to keep coming back for more.

Enjoy the show and go pet a vampire when you get a chance :)

Show runs about 40 minutes.

Lots of Green Lantern talk this time around, Secret Ninja powers, Comic book vs. waiting for the collected story lines in a graphic novel. A look at the DC catalog they slipped in my comic bag. Ideas for what to read after you watch Watchmen. Some of the bad Alan Moore movie adaptations, and no wonder he wants his name removed. A little bit about the Joker graphic novels out there. Ex Machina, which is written by Brian K. Vaughan (LOST), who also wrote Y The Last Man. Marvel also slipped a history of Wolverine into the bag so we get into Old Man Logan which looks like I’ll pick up.
