Pride of Baghdad

Inspired by a true story, Pride of Baghdad follows the struggle for survival of four lions freed from the Baghdad zoo after the US invasion in 2003. Pride of Baghdad is not about the lions or the zoo or the war in Iraq, but rather it is about survival, life, freedom, and in the hands of Vaughan the story becomes a piece of unforgettable modern literature and is well deserving of the designation of “classic”.

The ensuing mob war garnered Superman's attention, pitting him and Jackie against one another. However, Jackie made Superman an offer that he hoped the Manof Steel couldn't refuse: turn a blind eye to Jackie's affairs, and he'll bring a more "orderly" brand of organized crime to Metropolis. When Superman balked, he and the Darkness-empowered Jackie battled... until Metallo appeared and took Lois Lane hostage. (www.topcow.com)

The Cleaners #3

Free Comic Download

In the midst of a blood-drenched mystery, a picture is beginning to emerge from a veritable Rorshach test of evidence. And in one suburban neighborhood, a weird event in a dark alley leads to the revelation of a secret the world isn't ready to learn. A massive blood spill reveals the existence of something previously unknown-a person or a thing that lives on mass quantities of blood of all different ages and types. Robert Bellarmine is the man who sees this picture taking shape, and when a little neighborhood boy goes missing, Bellarmine knows it's only a matter of time before the boy becomes the next victim of a blood-hungry monster.

The Cleaners #2

Robert Bellarmine - whose cleaning crews get called in to take care of the weirdest jobs, the ones the cops can't or won't handle - can already tell that both his advanced medical training and his scientifically skeptical mind will be pushed to the limit as he sets out to find a rational explanation for these sudden eruptions of gore. And when ten-year-old Henry Lisander goes missing the next day, Bellarmine knows he has even less time to figure out who or what is behind the bloodbath! (www.entertainmentearth.com)

The Cleaners #1

“The Cleaners” are a for-hire team of trauma scene cleaners led by Robert Bellarmine. While working for a high profile client, Robert is told about a big job that covers a neighborhood. He arrives to find a total bloodbath, and begins putting the residents at ease as he cleans up the mess. Bellarmine’s investigation suggests a local blood bank or waste disposal company is probably dumping its supplies in order to cut costs, but the end of the issue reveals something even darker and more disturbing lurking in the city. Something that does not want to be found. (weeklycomicbookreview.com)

The Sandman Presents: Lucifer - The Morningstar Option #3

The Sandman Presents: Lucifer - The Morningstar Option is a three-issue mini-series written by Mike Carey. Lucifer is approached by an angel who requests that he perform a service for heaven, one which the angels themselves cannot do, and for which he will be handsomely paid.

Lucifer: Nirvana (One-Shot)

Free Comic Download

Written by Mike Carey, Lucifer's story continues. Now running a piano bar (an element introduced in the Sandman story The Kindly Ones) called Lux in Los Angeles with the assistance of his Lilim female consort, Mazikeen, Lucifer is portrayed as sophisticated and almost charming, similar to the stereotypical Christian devil. Beneath his charisma, however, Lucifer is a deadly and Machiavellian character, with no regard for human life or indeed anyone or anything but himself. Despite his egotistic and narcissistic tendencies, he does follow something akin to a code of honor. (www.wikipedia.com)

Can anything be darker than noir? The tasty Hell and Back features Wallace, a brooding artist with a decided talent for hurting people, and Esther, a stunningly beautiful actress accidentally mixed up in a slavery ring that extends far and deep enough to transcend the word conspiracy. The tale twists, turns, and backtracks, teasing the reader with hints of terror to come--until the explosive climax. Miller's art is exactly right for his words; he uses more black than white, and color only when appropriate. The chapter dealing with Wallace's drug hallucinations is beautiful, heartbreaking, and terrifying in turn. (www.amazon.com)

Free Comic Download

A good entry point for new readers wondering what Sin City is all about - or longtime readers who can't get enough - Miller has painted a gritty, decadent, and gloriously dirty portrait. Have a taste of the city ... just one little taste. Just one. (www.barnesandnoble.com)

Sin City Volume 5: Family Values

Family Values is a milestone among Miller's work, allowing him enough room to tell this classic story of grit and revenge exactly the way he wanted to. With deadly Miho running on roller-blades, Dwight running on adrenaline, and the Sin City mob on clean-up detail, this yarn from the Town Without Pity is not to be missed. (www.amazon.com)

Sin City Volume 4: The Yellow Bastard

Free Comic Download

Just one hour to go. Hartigan's polishing his badge and working himself up to kissing it goodbye, it and the thirty-odd years of protecting and serving, tears, blood, and triumph that it represents. He's thinking about his wife's smile, about the thick, fat steaks she's picked up at the butcher's, about the bottle of champagne she's got packed in ice, about sleeping in 'til ten in the morning and spending sunny afternoons flat on his back. But with one hour left to go, he gets word about that one loose end he hasn't tied up: a young girl who's helpless in the hands of a drooling lunatic. Just one hour to go... and Hartigan's gonna go out with a bang. (www.powells.com)

Sin City Volume 3: The Big Fat Kill

Free Comic Download

Criminals have always called the shots in Sin City, whether bootleggers, gamblers, or politicians. But ever since the first dame set up shop in Old Town, those side-streets have been run by the women who walk the night. It's been a delicate truce, but now there's a messy body and the mob's looking to reclaim those licentious streets. They're going to have to put down a tight band of dangerous women and a guy named Dwight to do it. Now Dwight, he knows something that the mob's gotta learn the hard way: sometimes standing up for your friends means killing a whole lot of people... (www.powells.com)

Sin City Volume 2: A Dame to Kill For

Free Comic Download

It's one of those hot nights, dry and windless. The kind that makes people do sweaty, secret things. Dwight's thinking of all the ways he's screwed up and what he'd give for one clear chance to wipe the slate clean, to dig his way out of the numb gray hell that is his life. And he'd give anything. Just to cut loose. Just to feel the fire. One more time.
And then Ava calls. (barnesandnoble.com)

Batman: The Joker's Asylum #5 Two Face

Free Comic Download

The book closes out with “Two Face, Too!” in which an embittered Harvey Dent forces a kindred spirit with the same physical affliction to choose between murdering Batman or watching his wife get an acid shower. It reminded me of something Aaron Eckhardt said about getting into character for his role as Two Face in The Dark Knight. He said (and I’m paraphrasing here) that Two Face and Batman were both vigilante’s at heart, and that Dent’s altruistic leanings carried over to his life of crime as he forced everyday citizens to make drastic choices. The story ends with our humble narrator (the Joker) leaving the ending up to the reader. (www.comicsbulletin.com)

Batman: The Joker's Asylum #4 Scarecrow

Free Comic Download

Chapter four, “Dark Knight of The Scarecrow,” chugs along like a textbook horror film--showing us only what we want to see and then dropping the hammer at just the right moment. Joe Harris has a handle on terror, so he leads us down a dark, claustrophobic path shown mostly through the eyes of one of Dr. Jonathan Crane’s first psychotherapy patients after the criminal psychiatrist comes out of retirement.
Feeling sympathy for a bullied teenage girl, Crane decides to take a more hands-on approach to her treatment by intervening. (www.comicsbulletin.com)

Batman: The Joker's Asylum #3 Poison Ivy

Free Comic Download

“Deflowered,” looks at a vicious killing spree that’s out of character for Poison Ivy. The tale reveals the roots (pun intended) behind her actions as Batman and Commissioner Gordon race to figure out who her next target will be. I’ve always thought that Poison Ivy worked best when she was played up as a champion for the environment, or a guerilla terrorist for botanical life. JT Krul manages to do present Ivy in that way while Guillem March pencils and inks an unbelievably sexy redhead with homicidal tendencies. Yowser! (www.comicsbulletin.com)

Batman: The Joker's Asylum #2 The Penguin

Free Comic Download

The second showcase, “He Who Laughs Last,” explores the roots of the Penguin’s childhood traumas while shifting gears between his adult interpersonal relationships and the pathos behind both. Jason Aaron does a fine job of giving some dimension and sympathy to Oswald Cobblepot by showing us how he, too, has been hurt--and while his reactions aren’t necessarily socially acceptable, the Penguin does have a fragile human side to him. (www.comicsbulletin.com)

Batman: The Joker's Asylum #1 The Joker

Free Comic Download

“The Joker’s Wild!” begins with a morality tale (the running theme of the book) with the Joker (arguably Batman’s best enemy, no complaints here) hijacking a game show and exposing the producers for the sensationalistic figureheads they are. The twist in this tale lies in the fact that the Joker doesn’t kill anyone, defaulting to the practical jokester character from the 1960s who forced his victims to look at the folly of their hypocritical lifestyles.
