Wonder Con Reviews – Holli Hoxxx #1

April 15, 2011 | | Comic Reviews

This beautifully colored book caught my eye instantly while walking down artist alley. In fact it was next door to Hey Derby Girl. The gorgeous Holli Hoxxx seems like it would be a typical male fantasy book that dominated the market in the 90’s, but it’s not at all. Don’t let the beautiful Holli Hoxxx fool you into thinking that she’s just another pretty face because she’s far from it. The setting of the book is Manhattan, New York and the world has no gravity. Yes you read that right, the world has no gravity. One companyTycho has created shoes that give you gravity… as long as your battery is charged. For years Tycho has been the number one company on the planet as they develop newer shoes with better batteries and keep literally everyone from falling off of the planet.

Publisher You Should Know: Vertigo Comics

April 14, 2011 | Nicole D'Andria | Comic Features

Comics published by Vertigo have a violent, grisly and intellectual appeal best suited for mature audiences unlike Vertigo’s parent company DC Comics – maybe you’ve heard of them? Vertigo was started by Karen Berger, an editor at DC comics. Berger enjoyed horrific comics without the super-powered heroes DC publishes annually. This passion of Berger’s inspired her to create Vertigo Comics with the help of several other editors. Vertigo Comics began in 1993 and Karen Berger is still the executive editor.DMZ: Set in the near future another civil war has been set into motion and Manhattan has become a demilitarized zone. Photography Matthew Roth enters Manhatten for the first time for some pics and little Matty winds up an instant celebrity since he is the only news source inside the DMZ and the government isn’t too happy with him… DMZ was one of the rare Vertigo titles that reached the 50 issue mark!

April 14, 2011 | | Comic Features

One of the most successful independent comic companies in the industry, Oni Press produces a wide variety of comics that are all creator owned. Meaning, Oni makes no claim to the ownership of the characters or their rights. That Scott Pilgrim movie that didn’t do so well in the box office, but that no one could stop talking about? Nothing to do with them. That White Out movie that tanked in the box office? Nothing to do with them. That free mix tape from Adam WarRock about their books? Nothing… oh wait that did have everything to do with them.
