I've trumpeted love for the best wrestling comic ever Headlocked before on this here Vundablog and I intend to trumpet it some more with a formal review of the Headlocked collected edition A single Step. The first image of the story is the drip of blood into a puddle of blood, and the narrator asking if we've ever had a dream. Headlocked follows the life and career of Mike Hartmann a college dropout turned aspiring wrestler. Mike Hartmann is a former theater major so Mike Hartmann looks at wrestling from a dramatic perspective. He illuminates the subtleties of the performance known as wrestling. The book is very poetic in the way that it describes the story of a wrestling show and its performers. Mike Hartmann gets so enthralled from watching a live wrestling show he changes the course of his life and pursues his dream. In the collection we don't se much of Mike actually wrestling. It is as the title says "A Single Step" in his career, from leaving school ...

Here's a review for another book put our by local publisher Creature Entertainment . This book is called Tommy , and it's not about a pinball wizard . Tommy is the simple story of a very disturbed boy. As the comic opens Tommy the little boy in questioned is scared and hiding in a closet. He goes to make a dash for his room and just as he's about to reach success he's attacked by a menacing rabbit. This rabbit is Tommy's psychosis. Tommy's rabbit is about to do something unthinkable to Tommy when his mother interrupts and saves Tommy or his pet rabbit from a disturbing fate.   We're then shown Tommy's school teacher and principal talking about the problems of Tommy. The book builds to Tommy's first murder. First off, the art in the book by Juan Navarro is stylish and fluid, each page is unique and dynamic. The art elevates a simple story and makes it feel complex and deep. The writing credits go to John Ulloa and Al Bondiga who deliver a p...

On Free ComicBook Day I picked up Bongo Comics Free For All aka the Simpsons comic. So I thought even though it's not Thursday yet we'll talk some Simpsons. First of all the cover is full of all sorts of awesome. It depicts Bart and his school chums running to a leprechaun's pot of gold full of comics. The comics have awesome names like Biclops, Superior Squad, Space Mutant Chronicles, Weasel Woman, Captain Squid, Radioactive Ape, House of Plasmo, Lil Kneesocks, True Larva, Leopard Lady, Quest Time, and more. There are leprechauns guarding the comics pot and one of them bears a striking resemblance to Comicbook guy. The first story in this free Simpsons anthology follows Bart and Milhouse as they attempt to get super powers. Milhouse is experimented on by Bart as they explore the accidental ways super heroes get their powers ala Spider-man and the Fantastic Four. Milhouse takes a beating in this short but it's okay because he's just Milhouse. ...

On Free Comicbook Day I made some purchases. One of them was Kidnapping Kevin Smith by Chad Blakely. I had read about this comic online once before because of the fabulous Mike Allred cover. So when I saw this book in a box marked half off, I was stoked. Firstly the cover by Mike Allred is simple, dramatic, and engaging. I like that the lettering of the title is reminiscent of a ransom note and of the Clerks poster font (Kevin Smith's indy classic). The story opens with Kevin closing out a sold out Q&A. A couple of the attendees head over to a cafe to order some coffees and debate the quality of Kevin Smith's show. It turns into an argument over Kevin Smith's merit. Ralph goes on a rant about how Kevin Smith is a hack to which his friend Jeff defends Kevin Smith for the rest of the night. The friends continue on with their mundane lives. Both of them working at a comic shop and going to movies together. Until they watch a movie about kidnapping. That...

Free Comic Book Day is upon us. Spider Man 2 is out. Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier is out. The summer movie season has begun. Life is good here at Vundablog. Despite the tardiness of this post we actually saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier 2 days early and for free by showing our shield's to the fine folks at Mac's Comics . Where we met a fellow fan named Tony who had this awesome original poster. Today on this glorious free comic book day. We will be getting our free comic book day comics at Macs Comics. We also may stop by one of our local libraries and pick up free comics that were donated by the generous Mac's comics. Below in the player you can hear our review/comparison of Disney's animated hit Frozen and Marvel's box-office smash Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier . We are working on an Amazing Spiderman 2 review, and then review/comparison. So stay tuned to Vundablog. Catch up on our podcasts and let us know what you think. W...

 In Justice League of America #1 Geoff Johns and David Finch take us through the introduction of the American wing of the Justice League. The driving force of this first arc seems to be the machinations of a Secret Society of super-villains. The issue is basically centered around Steve Trevor (Wonder Woman's one time love interest) working under Amanda Waller (who I'm disappointed to see in her new 52 incarnation is now a thin woman). Waller wants the JLA to form as a balance of power in case the actual Justice League gets too powerful and tries to conquer the world or something. The issue has the choosing and breakdown of the team. Trevor and Waller design a team to match up with every members power set.

I enjoyed the heck out of Vibe #1. To be honest, I'm a huge Geoff Johns fan, and have recently realized I'm apparently also a fan of Andrew Kreisberg . I enjoyed Andrew's work on Green Arrow/ Black Canary where he introduced a pretty cool villainess named Cupid . Here Kreisberg and Geoff are trying to reinvigorate the most wacky character of the Justice League Detroit crew of the 70's (for more info on that check out comics 101 here ). I also have dug his work on Mission Hill, Eli Stone, The Simpsons, and Justice League to name a few. The writers embrace the wacky world of Vibe and set the book in modern day Detroit. The book ties in with the first storyline of the new 52's Justice League when they stopped an incursion by Darkseid into their world. Vibe was born from this event. Being caught in the blast of a boom tube granted him with special gifts and abilities which make him uniquely suited to finding and stopping Darkseid's threats. This book was so g...

I don't pick up too many Darkhorse comics at the moment, but I will always give a chance to a new Mike Mignola comic. Sledge-Hammer 44 #1 is a World War 2 comic that could be boiled down to robot vs. Nazi robot. In this first issue there isn't much dialogue for the titular character of Sledge-Hammer. He basically gets dropped in to a battlefield hidden in a bomb. He fries some Nazi's with some electrical bolts, kicks some ass, then gets bested by an even bigger more retro looking Nazi-robot, and then gets saved by his back up, a platoon of American soldiers.

So Nick tagged me . Luckily some of these questions I was going to post about anyway. 1) What was the first comic you remember reading? I fully realize how lame this sounds. Des pite my brothers having a huge comic collection, this is the first one I remember owning and trying to read. I couldn't figure out how to read the panels at the tender age of 5, so I don't remeber much of the story and don't really care.  2) What was the first comic that made you realize that you might be in this for the long haul? I might take some flack for this but it was acutually New Avenegrs. I got into comics around May of 2004. My comics budget was very tight and my cousin had also been buying comics. He read more marvel and I read DC. So i'd borrow his copies of New Avengers. Around issue 8 he quit buying comics and I inherited his New Avnegers collection and realized I didn't want to stop reading the book. So it made me think I might be into this for a whil...

This post is for those of you getting into comics and any comics veterans feel welcome to pitch in with tips. 1. Go out to a comic book shop and browse through the rack grab a book that has a cover that calls out to you. 2. Don't be afraid of continuity. We live in the 21st century any question you have about any book you can ask me or other reputable and well read comic book bloggers, or just google or wiki it.  3.  If your not feeling like reading through long blog posts or wikipedia pages of history. I suggest you get a sense of continuity. How? Cartoons. Watch Batman the animated series, Superman the animated series, X-men(90's), Spider-man(90's), and Justice League Unlimited. These cartoons are well done and give you a great introduction to  a lot of  villains and heroes.  4. Figure out what stories you like to read and buy it. There is a comic book for every type of person. 5.  Buy a graphic novel try out the best of the best ...
