Awesomest Pamphlets Eva

I have two comics to review. One trade and one floppie. These comics represent the best comics being published today, all that I love about comics. These comics should be read if at all possible. Coming up first is Scalped.

Scalped Volume 1

I remember when I first saw Scalped #1 on the shelf at the comic shop. The cover looked cool, but nothing about the comic really spiked my interest. I was probably thinking that's another mediocre Vertigo series. Vertigo does publish some good stuff though and if you think about Vertigo comics still being published you think about 100 Bullets, Y: The Last Man, Fables, and DMZ. The comics just mentioned are all amazing but they really don't hold up to Scalped if you really think about it. Scalped is just an amazing comic and the first trade collecting issues 1-5 is available for only $10. Jason Aaron the fantastic writer is offering money back guarantee on the first trade so there's really no reason not to pick this one up immediately. Just about as good as comics can get.

Pax Romana #1

I didn't even talk about the Scalped plot did I hehe. Pax Romana is based in the future where scientist's working for the Vatican make a time machine. After much discussion betwixt the pope and his higher ups, the Pope decides to send back a team. They are to give Catholicism a better history by changing what happened during the crusades and such. The whole comic is fascinating and if the premise interests you even in the slightest pick this one up. A little bit wordy though, but in my opinion this has more interesting dialogue then some comics with 1/4 of the words.


A quick look at There Will Be Blood. This is not a review but a recommendation. This is an absolute must see. Daniell Day-Lewis gives the performance of the decade in what very well could be the best movie this decade. If you could only see one movie at the theater this year, go see this (Or Jesse James hehe).
