Review: Ghost Wolf TPB

Posted on by

sub006373-_sx312_ql80_ttd_This is the story told one thousand times. A story of revenge. A story of survival. The legend of the avatar of the Wolf Clan. The Ghost Wolf.

Collecting Ghost Wolf issue 1-4 this graphic novel collection is broken into two separate parts. Part 1, tells the connected stories of the first two issues, of the Ghost Wolf returning as one man loses his people to  cannibalistic tribes, that have united under one man. Part 2, collects issues 3 & 4. While part two tells a similar tale, the setting is vastly different. Taking influence from Vikings, it features Stonehenge, a mighty Shield-Maiden, and a greed driven Jarl.

Nothing says a violent world, like blood on snow. That is very clear in the first two issues, where a blanket of white dominates the landscape. Where the color is minimal as the characters, the Hungry Ones, are the consistent elements of color against the stark white snow. In an odd contrast to this, issues 3 & 4, and much more colorful. The characters are superbly drawn throughout all four issues.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by

TF_Windblade01_cvrAEach week, comic fans are faced with dozens upon dozens of new releases. That type of choice can be overwhelming. We go through the new releases each week to help you out and decide which comics are your best bets! Check out below for this week’s picks.

Top Pick: Transformers: Windblade #1 (IDW Publishing) – Dark Cybertron is over

American Vampire: Second Cycle #2 (Vertigo) – The excellent Vertigo series is back giving us an amazing modern take on the vampire mythos.

Ghost Wolf #1 (Amigo Comics) – When the sons of Corr lost their courage, they were captured  by the wild tribes. But there was one man who decided to fight… and he paid for this with his very life. He will become the vessel for the long, forsaken spirit of vengeance… The Ghost Wolf!

Hulk #1 (Marvel) – As he clings to life, the mystery of his attacker will have everyone talking. Who shot Bruce Banner? And why did they want him dead? Mark Waid’s Hulk is back!

Ms. Marvel #3 (Marvel) – One of the best debuts of 2014 or THE best debut of 2014?

Sinestro #1 (DC Comics) – DC’s some time hero is back in his own solo series. Should be interesting to see what they do with a crowded group of Lantern books, and how they make this series stand out.

Solar: Man of the Atom #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – The classic character is back as Dynamite’s exciting return of the Gold Key line of comics continues!

Superior Spider-Man #31 (Marvel) – Writer Dan Slott continues to knock it out of the park with his exciting take on Spider-Man!

Translucid #1 (BOOM! Studios) – The Horse has been the arch-enemy of The Navigator for years. But The Horse feels The Navigator’s moral compass slipping, and even a villain can’t let that happen. It explores the thin line between heroes and villains, and the space between childhood hope and loss.

Ultimate FF #1 (Marvel) – Marvel’s Ultimate Universe is being rebuilt and so far it’s been positive, both in tone and quality.

Amigo Comics On Cancellations and Second Chances

Posted on by

2014-02-AMIGO-copy-600x910Starting a new publishing company is difficult and Amigo Comics is having issues that in a release was addresses. The publisher’s head honcho El Torres addressed the company’s future, their new distribution plan, as well as their scheduling conflicts.

While initial releases like Rogues!, The Westwood Witches, Lunita and many more were released over the past year to solid reviews, the sales in a crowded market have been “not so great.” But, those initial sales and good word of mouth have lead to back orders for the publisher. Due to low print runs, they get sold-out easily. They get good-to-raving reviews and fans specifically ask for them. But the company has delayed releases and people can’t find their books.

So at Amigo, they came up with this solution: They’re going to resolicit their books!

In February Previews (for sale in April 2014), the publisher will both resolicit Rogues! Vol. 2 , as well as Lunita. That gives them time to catch up with their schedule… and it gives folks time to demand these books in their shops. This is a combined effort involving publisher, fans, sites and shops.

So, the publisher is asking fans to ask their retailers to order Amigo books.

Nancy in Hell: A Dragon in Hell and Ghost Wolf will be released as planned. And the publisher has a great assortment of  stories ready for folks in 2014. Stay tuned.
