OK so it looks like I dropped the ball again since I haven’t posted a single word in about 2 weeks.  Now that doesn’t mean I haven’t been doing anything, just that I haven’t been writing about it.   I know that the dozens and dozens of rabid Cool Terry fans out there are waiting with baited breath for my next column;  well wait no more my friends because here it is. This time around I bring you 4 more comics that I feel I must share with you.

First up G.I. Joe COBRA # 3 now I have read the first 2 issues and had thought that they were alright comics, they were good,  but were nothing to write home about.  Well in the third installment, this series begins to pick up a little.  Number 3 finds our undercover Joe (who’s trying to get higher in the rankings of Cobra) starting to take part in more and more killings while getting less and less  help from his contact in Joe HQ.  The situation ultimately comes to the point of complete loss of contact with Joe HQ and the slow mounting pressure to keep his identity hidden drive the undercover Joe to the point of having to kill the only person who knew who he was.   Now all alone and without orders he will have to continue his existence as a double agent. This comic brings to light the question how far should you have to go for the mission or how far is to far before their is nothing left of the man you once were. All in all this series is starting to turn into a real good read.  With the movie hype begining to build I’d recommend picking it up.  That way if the movie sucks ass at least you’ll catch one good Joe story this summer, and if the movie is awesome you can look like a true Joe scholar when you tell your friends to pick this book up if they’re looking for more Joe action.

Next up on the block we have the Crimson Comedian, the Regeneratin’ Degenerate, that’s right I’m talking about the Merc with a mouth Deadpool in Suicide Kings # 2 and if you’ve read my previous columns you’d already know how much I love this character, and the first issue of this mini series. Much to my delight #2 doesn’t disappoint at all. This issue follows our favorite vigilante in a skull shirt (that’s Punisher for all you unenlightened comic nerd posers out there) as he hunts down (and I might add, absolutely beats the holy hell out of) our friend Deadpool for a crime he did not comment (this time). We are also treated to panels of the oh so lovely Outlaw (seen here in a Giants cut off t – shirt). Now I don’t know if it was the beating or the fact that Deadpool is fucked in the head, but Wade Wilson is the only guy I can think of (not counting Disco Scott, who I strongly suspect is a Homersexual) who could look at that, and see Bea Arthur(in his words an Angel of God). Anyways after what can only be described as an epic fail on Deadpool’s part (I’m talking about the beating he receives from the Punisher not the self inflicted beating of a different variety with visions of Bea Arthur dancing in his head) we are treated to another costumed hero showing up at the end of the book (I think I’m starting to see a trend here) but this time if you want to know who it is you’ll have to buy the issue.

The next comic is a real treat. For those of you who have missed this one pay attention, a few years ago Alterna Comics released Jesus Hates Zombies Those Slack-Jaw Blues which took stories written by Stephen Lindsay that were drawn by different artists (in his search for the right one) and told the tale of a Zombie filled earth where God sends down (Terminator style) his only son to kick zombie ass. Now before you go all crazy church lady on me, just let me remind you that we all have our own vision of the holy son, yours might be up on the cross, it might be made of LEGO, or it might even be Willem Dafoe, but I like to picture my Jesus wielding a Louisville slugger baseball bat covered with zombie gore, saving our collective ass yet again. A little while after this awesome release we were given Jesus Hates Zombies Yea Though I Walk vol. 1 which continued the story of the main man in his attempt to save the world. This all of course brings me to the comic I’m going to talk about (like you haven’t guessed where this is going) that’s right, I’m talking about Jesus Hates Zombies Yea Though I Walk vol. 2 in this volume Jesus in his continued efforts to save the world, kills some baby Zombies, saves the asses of some punk-emo-goth looking mother fuckers, and is reunited with his pal Abe Lincoln. (that’s right I said Abe Lincoln) In case you hadn’t heard on CNN Honest Abe hates Werewolves, but they now face -off against an army of them the likes the world has never seen (and hopefully will never see). Now if this comic doesn’t make you all giddy and shit you have no soul.

Finally we have The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Century 1910 once again Allan Moore and Kevin O’Neill bring us the tales of the most Extraordinary Gentlemen, if you haven’t read the original 2 volumes get off your lazy ass, go down to your local comic store buy them and read what I consider (and others would tend to agree) to be some of the best comics out there in comic land today. Now while some of the faces have changed in this new comic (and some haven’t) the new team continues to try and do what they have always done; save king and country from destruction. Which is a blast to watch unfold. I could go on and on about what happens in this comic and about the characters but that would just spoil the whole book for you since that’s some thing I would hate to do, I will just say that if you like Allan Moore’s work or just like comics in general pick up this book, it’s great. Don’t be turned off if you saw the movie and thought poorly of it either the books are far better than the movie could ever have been.

Well that’s it for now so enjoy my reccomendations or don’t it’s entirely up to you, and remember with all the great comics out there in the world there is no excuse to print shit. I’m looking at you Geoff Johns so get off your ass and stop sucking you’re killing me over here.
