What is up Wednesday Warriors? Keeping things light this week. I am in New Orleans celebrating my 50th Birthday so there will be less posts this week and no spoilers, sorry. Anyway, here are my picks of the week.

New Series/#1’s
Drawing Blood #1 – KEVIN EASTMAN (TMNT) returns with a look into the roller coaster life of a successful comics creator. When you create a global franchise before you turn twenty… what happens next? Welcome to the world of Shane Bookman, a cartoonist whose real life has become more absurd than any comic book

Spectregraph #1 – JAMES TYNION IV and CHRISTIAN WARD join forces to bring you their next horror classic. A ghost story steeped in the decay of a century of capitalism. For years, the mansion has sat strangely, nestled into the coastline just a short drive north of Los Angeles. Rumors have haunted the place for years. Its owner a titan of American industry, with a strange fascination in the occult and the paranormal. For decades, the richest men and women in the country have whispered to each other, trying to understand what he was building alone in that mansion for all those years. And now finally, with his death, and his estate finally open for sale… They are eager to find out for themselves.

End of the Road
