I have perused some manga in my time. I am not a super-fan, what with the kitten ears and the chibi obsession and the rape tentacles. But I liked some of the Clamp graphic novels. Hellsing and Blood Alone are also gory fun.
And that is really the extent of my comic book exposure. And, yes, I know manga aren’t comic books, exactly.
Fortunately, a close relative just became a comic book store clerk. Last weekend, as I’ve mentioned, was Free Comic Book Day, and God knows I can’t pass up shiny, bound pieces of paper (except hardcore butt porn. Pass. Although I think the more egregious porn has found a new home on the internet).
My books came from a local shop called Tenth Planet, where the owner wisely decided to distribute a stack of six randomized comics to each customer in lieu of letting them rifle through the entire collection themselves.
What follows is my unvarnished, novice opinion of the free comics I received.
