Jan 302008

The final issue of Brian K. Vaughan’s Y: The Last Man came out today and CNN has a great little video interview up with him talking about his favorite comics and comic creators. And where was it shot? Where else but the world-famous Meltdown Comics! Watch it here.

And, of course, don’t forget about Y: The Last Party at Meltdown on February 8th with guests of honor Brian K. Vaghan and Pia Guerra and keynote speaker Joss Whedon. There are still a limited number of stading-room-only tickets that will be available the day of the event. All details here.

Caleb’s Pick of the Week – Black Summer #5

Just Arrived No Responses »

Jan 302008

When the first issue of Black Summer hit, I gave it a rave review. Now itâ€™s up to its fifth issue (six, if you count the integral #0 story), and itâ€™s still just as good. If you like superheroes, action or science fiction in your comics and you arenâ€™t reading this book, youâ€™re doing yourself a terrible disservice. Despite the superhero genreâ€™s domination of the comic industry, and despite Marvel and DCâ€™s domination of the superhero genre (291 of Diamondâ€™s top 300 comics of 2007 were theirs), the best superhero book out there is coming from neither company. The best superhero book on stands is Black Summer, and itâ€™s coming at you from Avatar Press. Growling, with blood on its knuckles.

Comedy Meltdown 2: Electric Boogaloo
Meltdown Comics, January 25th

Who needs too-tightly packed tables and a two drink minimum, especially if thereâ€™s an option to pick up a Buffy The Vampire Slayer omnibus and a maquette of Sub-Mariner before the show? Arguably LAâ€™s best recurring comedy show in town is tucked away in the back of Meltdown Comics on Sunset once a month, a free Friday night lineup in the storeâ€™s gallery featuring top-notch talent riffing large under the harsh glare of a bank of fluorescents instead of the usual spotlight. (Which might not help when it gets a little chilly in that back room, particularly on stormy January nights, but the open bar warms things up a bit. Yeah, I knowâ€¦ free and an open bar. Dude!)
