IDW Gives Us The Turtles At Their Best!

I’m exploring the comic books I find to be indispensible reading as I count down to my 100th post and today I’m shining the spotlight on Tom Waltz and Kevin Eastman’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  In the hands of their IDW stewards, the Turtles’ tales transcend any sort of generic genre labels and simply stand as great literature.  This comic is a master class on compelling character studies and stories that are consistently as emotionally affecting as they are exciting.  I’ve yet to read a single issue and not be moved!

Deadpool and a Most Meta Trilogy

There are two things we can say with absolute certainty about Deadpool.  First, he is everywhere right now.  I mean EVERYWHERE.  With an amazing movie and a growing list of monthly titles it seems the Merc with a Mouth is trying to channel Spidey in popularity as well as the mask design department.  Second, he is the most meta, self-aware, fourth-wall breaking character in the entire genre.  To honor both of these hallmark traits I’ll be doing a trilogy of posts this week on the Sassin’ Assassin, the Regeneratin’ Degenerate, the man, the myth, and the legend (if only in his own mind).  Each of these posts will explore Deadpool at his most meta.  And he’s never been MORE META than he was in Cullen Bunn’s Deadpool Killology.
