Comic Conversations: Blood Stained Teeth

With a title like Blood Stained Teeth, you had to know this was a vampiric comic.  To be honest, I am like Sam from the film The Lost Boys, I really don't like horror comics.  However, my friend Phil, gave me a copy of the first issue to Blood Stained Teeth and asked me to do a review.  Well, I picked it up started reading it and when I was done, I immediately emailed Phil to add it to my folder at Umbrella Comics and Collectibles (My Local Comic Shop). It is that damn good.

The book is about a vampire known as Atticus Sloane and for the right price, he’ll make you a vampire.  Why?  Because immortality isn’t cheap and he likes to surround himself with some of the finer things in lifelike vintage record albums.  Well, it turns out that making vamps is something that natural vampires are very much against.  Especially, if the new vamps are not tethered to a master.  It brings too much attention to a society that tries its best to stay hidden.

Well, after one of Atticus Sloane's new vamps goes viral on Social Media, he is asked by the naturals to track back to all his monstrosities and end them or it will be his immortality that will come to an end.  That is how issue #1 ends.

 When I read this comic and saw who Atticus has to answer to, I immediately thought it was brilliant.  I wish I could tell you but I don't want to spoil it.  I am not traditionally a horror comic fan, but I gladly give this title a 10 out of 10 rating.  The writing and artwork are superb.  I cannot wait to see what issue #2 brings to the table.  I strongly suggest you pick up a copy.  Hell, get you a copy while celebrating Free Comic Book Day this Saturday.

Until next tike, get your READ on!

Why is Angela in Marvel?

(http://hahyngirl.deviantart.com/art/Spawn-Angela-213840660)

 

That's right Nerds and Nerdettes, Angela from Image's Spawn comics is now a resident of the Marvel Universe.  Most of you comic readers already know this but I also know some people who didn't so I decided to share the news.  So you may have not heard it hear first, but just remember that Derf's Domain did not let you down, LoL.

 

Just what role will the lovely but deadly Angela have at Marvel U?  Well, what is known is that she will appear in the Age of Ultron series towards the end.  After Age of Ultron is complete, she will join the ensemble of the Guardians of the Galaxy.  Will she be good or evil?  Only time will tell.

 

How did Marvel get so lucky to land such a great character from a rival company?  It's simple, one of Angela's creators works for Marvel now.  For those of you who didn't know Neil Gaiman created Angela with Todd McFarlane but he had the rights to the character.  Now that Neil works on the Guardians series, he is bringing Angela to the Marvel Universe for all of his fans to enjoy.  I am one of the thankful ones because she was always a great character to read about.  You knew when she was in a comic, someone's ass was going to get kicked!

 

The image below is a reveal of her new look as drawn by Joe Quesada.
