Crime Comics for One and All (Except Cozy Fans, regrettably)!
If you’re all caught up with the big-name crime comics like Scalped and Criminal, indulge the Nerd of Noir while he slams some more awesome down on your TBR pile. He’s got three recs for you that cover three different subgenres of crime fiction. Yeah, it’s a tall order, but he’s serving it up.

SYNERGY – Childhood Scary Stories
Synergy is back! This is the fourth installment of the feature, and the first under my dictatorship as BSC’s editrix. If you haven’t seen this column before, the basic idea is that we put the same question to a variety of professionals (and sometimes amateurs) who interest us to create a plateful of amuse bouche interviews. This time around we took the question straight to some of the hottest names in horror, comics, urban fantasy, and more.
The question? What was your favorite scary story as a kid? The answer could be anything from an urban legend to “vampires” to a specific book or movie or comic. Anything at all…as long as it was something especially striking to you….
Respondents range from bestselling writers like Charlaine Harris and Carrie Vaughn, to grand masters like Joe R. Lansdale and Brian Lumley, to noir/crime writers like Jimmy Palmiotti and Charlie Huston, and more. If you missed our previous installments of Synergy, go check them out.

Megan Fox and Comics in May! – ‘Jonah Hex: No Way Back’

(it has caused All-Star Western#10 to heat up!). News out of Baltimore (via the Source) is that the current writing team of Jonah Hex, Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti, will be writing an OGN called Jonah Hex: No Way Back.

The Last Resort #1 review – Palmiotti and Gray!
I talked about this in Tomio’s Want List awhile ago. I read it soon after, but I’m just now getting the time to talk about it now and decided to reread it, remembering I rather enjoyed it the first time around. I would point to this issue as being a prime example of how to put together a first issue of a new series. The stage is infected, set and blown up.
