These 2 Hit the Mark

If you are looking for comic book story arcs that's peppered with fast-paced action scenes, witty character wise-cracks and an awesome array of artwork, then, these two must-read 12-part mini-series would certainly hit those marks (again some pun intended). Written and created (as in the case of Hunter/Killer) by Mark Millar (Marvel's Wolverine vol.3) with art from John Romita Jr. while Mark Waid (Superman: Birthright) and Marc Silvestri (Witchblade, Darkness) collaborated in making Hunter/Killer (for Top Cow | Image), both Wolverine's Enemy of the State / Agent of Shield by Millar and Hunter/Killer by Waid and Silvestri offer readers a chance to re-acquaint themselves with a well-known character like Wolverine but at the same time picking up a "new" set of super-powered heroes and villains (sometimes, you don't really know who is what) that have almost similar origins and are now facing off their demons as they try to fight their way through the diabolical manipulations, machinations and double-crossing of their respective handlers. .

Vaughan's Volumes

Hello again! As promised, I'm back to give you the comic books I've read and come to love the past couple of months. And, among the many many comics I've read the past many many months ago, the works of  Eisner award winner Brian K Vaughan are among the best that I have come to like a lot. And I've read a lot of his books, come to think of it, BKV's works are the most that I've read amongst all of my favorite writers. Let me see, ok, more recently I've read Pride of Baghdad, which is a true-to-life(?) story about what may (?) have happened to the animals after fall of Baghad in Iraq, Then before that, his run on Swamp Thing volume 3 which I think was quite timely then and especially  now because it's running theme was about our role in making sure that our planet's environment is kept safe and in check from our excesses. Of course, it was told thru the different wildly adventures of Swamp Thing's daughter who was rebelling against her nature and at the same time discovering herself and her place in humanity. Not coincidentally I guess, is how BKV again made the very appealing storyline of the Runaways volumes 1 & 2, about a bunch of teenagers discovering their true character and natures. But of all the characters and stories that BKV has made a run of, the first (and last, some pun inteneded) and  most memorable for me is the one you might be downloading below:

Incidentally, if like me, you happen to like BKV's writing, you might want to check out the other titles I mentioned above by visting and perhaps, joining:

Rising Authority

Hi there! Welcome to my second blog! In case you're wondering what the first is, its: www.stuffthatclogupmypc.blogspot.com. I decided to make this one purely for comic books which I've read, and "collected" courtesy of course of some very diligent and generous scanners..heh Anyhoot, if you've "arrived" at this blog, then you must have come from the "Kingdom": The Kingdom is not the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia but the Comic Kingdom based in where else The United Kingdom (otherwise you'd be most likely be reading this in Arabic)hmmmm...come to think of it, does anyone know if there are any Arabic comic books?? Anyways...I digress. I also made this blog to "feature" comic books which I really liked reading and highly recommend (some of which can be obtained at the comickingdom.co.uk forum). I'll try to make this at least a weekly event. If you came from the forum, you may also want to check out their stuff! So enough yapping here's my picks for this week: DOWNLOAD LINKS BELOW: CLICK SELECT, COPY AND PASTE TO BROWSER OR DOWNLOAD MANAGER
