With that odd and somewhat juvenile title, you'd think it's going to be one of those initial-issue instant flops. On the the other hand, given Image Comics' current track record, what with The Walking Dead, Chew, The Viking, King City, et al., which I daresay puts Image ahead of Vertigo so far in the area of alternatives to the superhero genre (I have to admit I'm biased--the first three titles just mentioned are my top three choices for best ongoing series, in order), you'd mutter to yourself, hmm... perhaps it's worth a look. You'd better. For you won't regret it. Nor did IGN reviewer Richard George, who gave this first issue an "Impressive" 8.3 out of 10 rating. Writer AJ Lieberman and artist Riley Rossmo together put on a dazzling display. Let's hope they can keep it up a la The Walking Dead, Chew or The Viking...

Meet the C. Montgomery Burns of the future, or rather, the artificial intelligence that will soon be operational in order to ensure that Mr. Burns and his legacy will live on! But when 'Big Monty' goes online a little sooner than expected, he reaches through the Internet and finds a special friend in an unsuspecting Lisa Simpson! By: Dixon, Ortiz, Decarlo --

is an American comic book series written by John Layman with art by Rob Guillory and published by Image Comics. It centers around Tony Chu, a police detective who is "cibopathic," meaning he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. Chu gets appointed to the FDA, which, because of the illegalization of chicken, has now become the most powerful law-enforcement branch of the United States government. See any connections so far? Well, the first three issues of Chew have all sold out multiple printings with the first issue receiving four printings as well as being reprinted in black and white in . To say that critical reception has been mostly positive would be an understatement. Peer response however remains muted, probably because of sheer envy. IGN gave the first issue an "Incredible" 9.5 out of 10 and the three subsequent issues 9.0, 9.1 and 8.8 respectively. The current 5th and last issue in the initial story arc ghoulishly entitled "Taster's Choice" also got an "Outstanding" 9.0 from IGN. That's an average rating of 9.08 for the first five issues. Considering IGN's highbrow reviewer reputations (there is one there whose output I don't like, however, and I registered in IGN so I could politely tell him so), this is high praise indeed. For the record, I agree with IGN's editors.

is the first Chapter in the new comic book adaptation of Stephen King's and Peter Straub's horror and suspense bestseller, , tentatively set for a limited run of 24 issues and published by Del Rey Comics, the new imprint of Ballantine Books at the Random House Publishing Group.

Created by Grant Morrison, Mark Millar and Steve Yeowell, the group is composed of humans modified by eating Skrull-infected beef and who have somehow developed an intense, irrational hatred for Skrulls so they seek and hunt down all the Skrulls they could find (Morrison and Millar might have been high at the time when they came up with Krew). Skrulls are a fictional race of extraterrestrial shapeshifters in the Marvel Comics Universe, first appearing in (Jan 1962) out of the fertile minds of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Some of the team returned during the , which led to the current mini-series. again featuring more of the same gory Skrull bloodbath, but now just a teeny-weeny bit less strange and infused with more fun and attitude and with a surprise development.
