June Diamond Gems

Go immediately to your local comic shop and tell them you need them to order the following upcoming titles:



"King City #1"
Product Code: JUN090324

Brandon Graham's King City returns. Image picks up where Tokyopop left the series hanging. Brandon has a pretty unique illustration style, well worth checking out.



"Comics Revival Pack #1"
Product Code: JUN090798

Buenaventura Press tries to fight back against Diamond's shafting of independent comics with this comics pack. Issues of 'Injury #3', Eric Haven's adventure tale 'The Aviatrix', and 'Beast Biplane', all of which I would have purchased separately anyways.



"Barack The Barbarian #3"
Product Code: JUN090809

Yes, it continues...



"Zombies Vs Robots Aventure #2"
Product Code: JUN090982

Zombies and Robots and Ashley Wood.



"Dungeon: The Early Years Volume 2"
Product Code: JUN091031

Volume 1 picked the series back up, I expect the second volume to continue this.



"Black Jack: Volume 7"
Product Code: JUN091097

Buy this before Vertical cancels the series, some of Tezuka's coolest stuff.

Hand Wound Monday: Fodder Cutting Machine

Dr. Jain writes:


The patient got his arm trapped in a fodder cutting machine and got his limb amputated at elbow. You can see the straws still present a lot in the wound. I hope you will find it interesting. It is a common injury in India.

The Real Deal

real deal comics
I received this most awesome package in the mail today, an almost full run of Real Deal comics (Issue #2 has long been sold out ever since the Beastie Boys gave them props in Grand Royal magazine during the early 90's). Real Deal is how comics should be, raw and pure. Let me give you a little sample of some of the genius writing (Issue #4):

"Ham Hocks and Collard Greens. Momma yo' thighs is sure lookin' mean!"

"Excuse me? Are you talkin' to me??"

"Hell ya!! I aint rappin' to the bar stool bitch!!"


real deal art

Lawrence Hubbard, the artist behind Real Deal, has dug up his stock of past issues and is putting the few issues he has left up for sale. You can pick them up from Hubbard's ebay page, or PictureBox Inc. has bought up a few issues and has them up for sale on their site. Pick these up NOW! The limited stock will soon be gone, and they don't make them like this anymore, you won't regret it.
