Comic Book Wednesday Part 3: The Rest

In addition to DC and Marvel, Image and Dynamite make my long box, and here's what they had to offer this week:

Oh yeah, Spoiler alert now!

NANCY IN HELL 2 (of 4)
Words by: El Torres
Art by: Juan Jose Ryp

After issue 1 I thought this series would just be a balls to the wall action series, but issue 2 actually adds depth and Religious elements, along with beautiful art. As Nancy and Lucifer try and leave Hell, we learn a lot about Lucifer, and a bit about Nancy, while at the same time a villain (yes, Lucifer is a protagonist) is starting to take more prominence. The writing is cool, with Nancy being more like Ripley from Aliens than a generic Slasher movie Bimbo, and Lucifer is actually a tragic character. And if you start to feel for the father of lies, you know the series isn't bad. I have high hopes for this series, and I hope you guys give this series a chance.

THE BOYS #46
Words by: Garth Ennis
Art by. Darick Robertson

As a Catholic I'm not totally sold on this Believe arc, mainly due to it's total faith bashing, but Ennis is such a good writer, I can't wait for more. This issue in particular furthers the Hughie's spiral after finding out that Annie is Starlight... oh and he finds out she sucked the dicks of Homelander, The Deep, and A-Train. But more importantly we see Butcher being Butcher, trying to be a good guy, but knowing he has to be harsh with Hughie. The Art is brutal, and the writing is graphic, but damn is this series awesome! I particularly love how Ennis is still giving new depth to his characters (even after 46 issues). I highly recommend this series (but make sure you read it from the beginning)
