Myths & Legends #2 – Review

March 25, 2011 | | Comic Reviews

When people think of the Grimm Fairy Tales line of comics the first thing they think of is the covers. The very adult themed covers that depict woman in sexy outfits dressed in the costumes from your fairy tale youth. Grimm Myths and Legends is an off shoot of the Grimm Fairy Tales proper ongoing series and takes a different approach to the horror fairy tale genre. The cover would lead you to thinking that the story is about Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, but not really.

Character Affinity: Marrina

March 25, 2011 | Nicole D'Andria | Comic Features

Marrina Smallwood is a yellow-skinned woman that was a member of the alien race known as the Plodex. She is also a member of Alpha Flight. She has many aquatic abilities and managed to capture the heart of the Sub-Mariner. The Plodex were an alien race obsessed with dominating every planet. To dominate these planets the Plodex would send their eggs to their designated target – in Marrina’s case, her designated target was a little planet called Earth. When Marrina’s egg was discovered after being underwater for 40,000 years by local fisherman Thomas Smallwood, Marrina’s egg hatched. The egg had come into contact with Thomas’ wife Gladys beforehand and the creature that hatched from the egg took on the combined traits of the underwater habitat it had lived in and Gladys’ feminine genes. The result: Marrina. Gladys and Thomas adopted Marrina and raised her like a daughter along with their son Dan. Dan fell in love with Marrina but never told her and was left in disarray when he heard Marrina left for Atlantis with Namor, better known as the Sub-Mariner.

Shipping In May – NBM Publishing

March 24, 2011 | | Comic News

I can’t really explain what a mixture of South Park and Monty Python is, but that is the way Kinky and Cosy has been described. I’ve checked out a few of author Nix’s comic strips on the NBM blog and they’re worth a chuckle. NBM definitely puts out a wide variety of books so it’s interesting to see what they’ll publish next. You can request these books from you’re comic shop or head to their website and buy it direct. Shocking! Disgusting! Meet the most dangerous twin girls in the universe! Their record of wrong doings, on purpose or not, will raise your hair on end. A darkly subversive collection of cynical comics gags that is sweeping Europe. Nothing is sacred for these two lil’ monsters! South Park meets Monty Python.
