The first book in Asa Wheatley’s Sagas of the Shield Maiden has some new names to me attached to it, so I knew it was worth taking the plunge on it through it’s Kickstarter campaign…..and it was time I had a closer look.
Dave Wimblett’s The Hoards of Surrey was billed as a ‘very British treasure hunt’ but with the likes of The Goonies & Stand By Me passed around as a comparison it HAD to be one I took a look at.
The newest volume of The Legend of La Mariposa from James Lawrence has recently hit the funding trail and we wrestled so I could get an early look 🙂
After already being blown away with the collected edition of Drugs & Wires I knew there would be a time when I had to read more and after picking up the three parts to it’s prequel, Blue Pill Arcade, I was all set.
Biggol from Ioan Morris became a bit of a revelation when I discovered it’s first issue and with that beginning etched in mind, I had to get my hands on the whole run once the fifth issue closed out the series.
Billed as a Zombie Horror/Heist Black Comedy set in the Vietnam War it just sounded like the first of the five part Voodoo Chile was worth a look.
I’m constantly jumping on Kickstarter’s based on the glimpse of a cover, the names of the creators I know or just to try something new and Smithers & Wing from Heather Palmer & Kirsty Hunter pretty much slipped into each of those categories – so I knew this was on my “must read” pile already.
Charlot Kristensen’s debut book was released last year through Avery Hill Publishing and it just felt like the kind of book I was going to get something from.
From humble beginnings in the first issue of Blood Moon things quickly ramped up so I was sure that getting back into it for the next issue & beyond was a must.
