Comics: The Meaning

com-ics (kom'iks)n. plural in form, used with a singular verb. 1. Juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or to produce an aesthetic response in the viewer.

"If Comics' spectacularly varied past is any indication, comics' future will be virtually impossible to predict using the standards of the present.... Those of you who make comics for a living - or would like to someday, probably know that keeping up with all the advances in today's comics is a full-time job. However much we may try to understand the world of comics around us, a part of that world will always lie in shadow - a mystery.... As it is, it should be kept in mind at all times that this world is only one of many possible worlds!
Our attempts to define comics are an on-going process which won't end anytime soon. A new generation will no doubt reject whatever this one finally decides to accept and try once more to reinvent comics. And so they should. Here's to the great debate."

Excerpts and paraphrased from the amazing Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art."

THE BZZZT - PICKS OF THE WEEK (10.30.2013)

10.30.2013 - This column will reflect brand new comic series and graphic novels that should peak your interest.  Get in at the beginning of these new offerings and new story arcs available as our picks of the week at the Comic Pile..

 
ADVENTURE TIME
2013 SPOOKTACULAR #1
BOOM ENTERTAINMENT
(W) Bryce Carlson & Various (A) Frazer Irving & Various (CA) Becky Dreistadt
WHY WE LOVE IT: The surreal, post-world of Ooo is already a little bit spooky, which makes it perfect for a collection of funnily scary stories.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT: This time of year, everyone loves a good scare! Why not get in the spirit with all of your favorite characters from Cartoon Network's top-series?
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Reading the ADVENTURE TIME SpOooktacular is like all your friends daring you to trick-at the scariest house on the block, and the guy at the door is wearing an insanely scary mask BUT THEN he just dumps a bucket of candy in your bag. You are the king of the block, you have won the candy jackpot. Reading this collection of ghostly short stories feels like that. Don't miss it.
 
DAMIEN SON OF BATMAN #1of4
DC COMICS
(W/A/CA) Andy Kubert
Damian Wayne, the son of Batman, has adopted the cape and cowl as his own...but what horrific events set this troubled hero on the path of his dark destiny? The story of Damian Wayne begins in this epic miniseries written and drawn by one of Damian's co-creators, Andy Kubert!
 
SANDMAN OVERTURE #1of6
DC COMICS
(W) Neil Gaiman (A/CA) J. H. Williams (CA) Dave McKean
Twenty-five years since THE SANDMAN changed the landscape of modern comics, Neil Gaiman's legendary series is back!
THE SANDMAN: OVERTURE heralds New York Times best-selling writer Neil Gaiman's return to the art form that made him famous, ably abetted by artistic luminary JH Williams III (BATWOMAN, PROMETHEA), whose lush, widescreen images provide an epic scope to The Sandman's origin story. From the birth of a galaxy to the moment that Morpheus is captured, THE SANDMAN: OVERTURE will feature cameo appearances by fan-favorite characters such as The Corinthian, Merv Pumpkinhead and, of course, the Dream King's siblings: Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium, Destruction and Destiny.
"People have often asked me what happened to Morpheus to make it possible for him to be captured in THE SANDMAN #1," Gaiman said. "And now they get to find out. And finding out, they get to learn secrets of the Endless that I've kept to myself for 25 years. Family secrets. And I should warn you: one of the Endless dies on page five."
The first issue of this 6-issue, bimonthly miniseries features a stunning double-page interior foldout.
 
BATMAN HC VOL 03
DEATH OF THE FAMILY (N52)
DC COMICS
(W) Scott Snyder, James TynionIV (A) Greg Capullo & Various
(CA) Greg Capullo
After having his face sliced off, The Joker makes his horrifying return to Gotham City in this epic from issues #13-17 that shook Batman to his core! But even for a man who's committed a lifetime of murder, he's more dangerous than ever before. How can Batman protect his city and those he's closest to?
This new hardcover features an acetate dust jacket showcasing the face of The Joker as it appeared on the die-cut covers of the "Death of the Family" comics - and under that dust jacket lies the horror that is The Joker's skinless skull!
RETAILERS, PLEASE NOTE: This acetate cover will be available only on the first printing of this title.
 
 
Until next week, Live It Like You Love It!

IT'S ALRIGHT MA, I'M ONLY READING! NEW COMICS RECAP 10.23.2013

10.25.2013 - Image Comics continues to revolutionize the industry this week with more additions to their creator owned offerings.  Plus, the JL gets it's FOREVER EVIL tie in and IDW get their hands on a time displaced samurai.  An absolutely great week for reading!

 
 THE BOUNCE #6
BY JOE CASEY & DAVID MESSINA
BIG SECRETS REVEALED THIS ISSUE!
What has The Darling seen that has changed him forever? Is there anything worse than the death of a hero? And what does that mean for The Bounce and the twisted world he lives in? Meanwhile, The Vamp makes her big move!
 
"This series from Joe Casey has been a slow build, but everything pays off with this issue.  By the last page what has appeared to be nonsensical mostly makes sense.  Keep it coming Joe."
 
 
JUSTICE LEAGUE #24
"FOREVER STRONG"
BY GEOFF JOHNS, IVAN REIS & JOE PARDO
A "Forever Evil" tie-in! THE JUSTICE LEAGUE IS DEAD! But who's at the top of the food chain now? And what does BLACK ADAM have to say about it?  
 
"Not a spectacular issue by any means, though the "evil" take on Superman's origin as Ultraman from the Earth 3 reality was quite distrubing.  The little fan boy kid in me though loved Black Adam vs Ultraman.  Can't get enough of Black Adam.
 
THE MASSIVE #16
PART 1 OF 3 "LONGSHIP - PITCHBLACK"
BY BRIAN WOOD, GARRY BROWN & JORDIE BELLAIRE
 In the rugged North Sea, the crew of the Kapital come across a rogue group of whalers, persistently hunting despite the realities of the Crash. When Callum Israel and his crew intervene, they come face to face with centuries of tradition and what is referred to as the "old ways."
 
"A well researched and written book that displays a passion and respect for the world around us.  This series is why we put our faith in comics.  Callum Israel is one of the best characters in comics right now.  Come and jump on board the Kapital as Brian Wood can do no wrong at the moment."
 
 
SAMURAI JACK #1
"SAMURAI JACK AND THE THREADS OF TIME"
BY JIM ZUB & ANDY SURIANO
Cartoon Network's hit animated series is back at IDW! The legendary samurai known only as 'Jack' is stranded in a strange future ruled by the demonic wizard, Aku. His quest to return back to the past has tested him many times, but now the stakes are higher than ever. Can an ancient relic known as the Rope of Eons finally take him home? Writer Jim Zub (Skullkickers, Street Fighter) and artist Andy Suriano (Character Designer on the original Samurai Jack TV series) begin a new era of samurai adventure!  
 
"Lots of heavy, mature titles this week, so this one balances everything out as it was just pure straight up fun.  Definitely has the feel of the classic t.v show and corresponding comics.  PONYTAIL!  PONYTAIL!  PONYTAIL!"
 
 
SATELLITE SAM #4
"COOKIEPUSHER"
BY MATT FRACTION & HOWARD CHAYKIN
Tiny details of the late Carlyle White's life start to come into focus the longer his son stays sober and asks questions. The network struggles to survive its war against three radio-era behemoths and the FCC. Truth comes out, clothes come off, and Mike finds out just how far down he can go.  
 
"Another Image gem.  This book is layered like an onion.  Fraction and Chaykin are quite possibly putting in career defining work.  Chaykin's pencils are glorious in black and white and almost leap off the page."  Great to see Chaykin back as a "force" of the industry. 
 
 
SEX CRIMINALS #2
"COME, WORLD"
BY MATT FRACTION & CHIP ZDARSKY
 So who's the boy with the same sexy-time time-stopping gifts as Suzie? Meet John, who until last night thought he could freeze time with his junk. At long last not alone, what kind of horny hijinx will he and Suzie get up to together? What ANY of us would do if having sex stopped the whole world: We'd do crimes. 
 
"Another possible career defining title from Matt Fraction.  With creator owned work like this, one has to wonder why Fraction stays at Marvel?  This is what Fraction as a writer is about, not "spandex" characters (though the current Hawkeye series from Fraction and Aja is really quite good).  It's nice to play with someone else's toys but when you can create and play with your own "better" toys in complete creative freedom why not do that all the time?"
 
 
VELVET #1
BY ED BRUBAKER & STEVE EPTING
with ELIZABETH BREITWEISER
 When the world's best secret agent is killed, Velvet Templeton, the Personal Assistant to the Director of the Agency, is drawn off her desk and back into the field for the first time in nearly 20 years... and is immediately caught in a web of mystery, murder and hi-octane action.

"So glad Brubaker left Marvel as editorial seemed to be sapping his creativity.  Well he found his "mojo" again on Fatale and his resurgence over at Image with long time collaborator Steve Epting has spilled over into this gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous comic book.  Give us more of this please!"
