BB Review Group Voting Thread for 2/28

[Ray G.]

Okay, since Thud is rarely online when the Midtown list goes up, he's asked me to handle the voting threads. This is not a coup d'etat.


Quick summary of what this thread is:

Spoiler:

This thread is for everyone to determine what book we will review in the BB Review Thread. In the past we took turns picking a book but now we are openly voting for titles we would like to see reviewed. Everyone is welcome to participate, no need to ask.

After visiting the Midtown shipping list (or another one you prefer) and looking over the choices please nominate one book. At the end of the week (thread closes on Tuesday at Noon CST) the title with the most votes wins. Feel free to lobby for your choice as much as you please

There are no restrictions on what you can nominate and vote. Any publisher (no matter how small) any price (singles, trades, hardcovers ect) and import titles are all fair game.

We will do a new thread every week to do these votes

Here's the list of what is shipping 2/28:

True Story Swear to God

I have been intending to check this out for over a year, and it hasn't happened yet. This would give me a good excuse. Someone out there was suppose to be sending something from this series . . .

[The Human Target]

As much as I love Runaways, I don't see the point in reviewing the last issue of a book (or the last issue with a certain creator.)

I'm going with...

City of Others #1 from Dark Horse comics.

City of Others #1

Writer: Steve Niles
Artist: Bernie Wrightson
Colorist: Jose Villarrubia
Genre: Horror
Features: Preview

When it comes to horror comics, few artists can measure up to the legendary Bernie Wrightson. Now, after a long hiatus from making comics, Wrightson is back at the drawing table working side-by-side with acclaimed writer Steve Niles on the most exciting new horror comic of the year-City of Others.

Stosh Bludowski is a killer, born with the capacity for no apparent human emotion other than rage. Killing comes easy for Blud, and he makes a good living doing what's easy-until the day he meets two jobs in an alley who just won't die, and a grotesque mystery unfolds right in front of him. Soon, the remorseless killer is confronted by a reality he could never imagine, and he will be invited to make a decision once and for all . . . is he human, or is he Other?

"Bernie is one of my greatest heroes and influences in art. When it comes to horror, few creators have contributed more to the comics medium than Bernie has."
-Alex Ross

Publication Date: Feb 28, 2007
