The Quick and The Read #3: Once more into the review…
OK, I can’t concentrate on work with a damn since it is Friday, and its payday, AND I am going out of town on business next week. So what is a comic geek like myself supposed to do?? Write some I reviews!! At least until the boss catches me anyway 
Previous reviews from this series can be found here
Here is what is up for this time around.
The Creeper #1-6 (of 6): I have never really been that much of a fan of The Creeper, but I just read the last book of this series, and I have to say I liked it. Now this wasn’t the best comic I have ever read, but it was a good solid story that did a great job telling the origin of the latest version of The Creeper. I have no idea how close this was to the original, since I never really new much about the character until now. This was a solid series, and I had no complaints.
Batman and the Mad Monk #1-6 (of 6): Once again Matt Wagner did a kick ass job on this series, just like he did on Batman and the Monster Men
Mystery in Space #1-6 (of eight): This mini-series has really shown Jim Starlin’s writing talent when it goes to science fiction. I have truly enjoyed reading this series, it is great stuff. To me this story reminds me a lot of Dreadstar, which was also a great series in its time; and how much I love Starlin’s work on that. If you liked his recent work on Cosmic Guard and Kid Kosmos (still need to get the later), you will probably like this too. The series hasn’t sold any issues out, so you could probably jump in with too much trouble, just in time to finish it.
OK, that is about it for now. I think the boss is due out of his meeting any minute….

recap of the series so far, INVINCIBLE #42 is the best jumping on point
since issue #1.Written by Robert Kirkman and featuring art by Ryan Ottley and colorist
Bill Crabtree, INVINCIBLE #42 starts fresh after the devastating events
of the Mars storyline concluding in issue #41.“Mark has just saved the world, and it’s not the first time, but
everyone saw it happen,” said Kirkman. “We’re going to really start
exploring Invincible’s standing with the public starting with issue
#42. Things are going to be a bit different from now on, and it’s an
excellent time for anyone who’s been on the fence to finally take the
plunge and find out what INVINCIBLE is all about.”Since its debut, INVINCIBLE has received widespread critical acclaim,
with everyone from ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY to WIZARD to G4 TV’s ATTACK OF
THE SHOW and Comedy Central’s COMEDIANS OF COMEDY singing the title’s

film, with Kirkman himself attached to write the screenplay.“INVINCIBLE continues to be one of our most popular titles,” stated
Image Executive Director Eric Stephenson. “Sales continue to climb on
both the single issues and the collections, but we still hear about
people who haven’t given it a chance. INVINCIBLE #42 is an excellent
jumping-on point for those folks.”INVINCIBLE #42, a 24-page comic book in the Image Slimline format
