The whole vibe of the book is "refreshing", for lack of a better word.

And the humor's exactly what you'd want from a campy T&A schlock book.

The "faux-traced" "realistic" style look of the comic is kind of weird, but I think it works for what they're trying to do.

SECOND BEST COVER

WORST COVER

Was Bettie page the Elvira of the 60's?

>>93985666
This is nice.

>>93986441
Try 50s.

>>93985685
Nice pic.

>>93985810
>California is farther than I go on a first date.

heh

>>93985736
This dialog is pitch perfect for this kind of comic.

>>93985948
Some of the line and detail work looks like standard felt pen, but some of the shading and coloration definitely has a definite watercolor vibe

>>93985778
LOL!

What are the odds that I can pick this up without the guy at the LCS thinking I want cheesecake instead of campy spy adventures?

>>93985644
It's a mini.

>>93985877
>That's not a question.

This is actually pretty solid dialog.

>>93985614
Nice, I was just wondering if someone was going to storytime it. It's good campy fun.

>>93985837
This art is really impressive.

>>93986006
Her estate has to approve stuff like this that uses her name and image. The Rocketeer series gets away with it because the Bettie character in that has a different name and sometimes doesn't look like Page depending on the artist.

>>93985964
well that was unexpected

>>93986441
Speaking of Elvira and celebrity comics, Dynamite just announced they're doing an Elvira comic in October. The first official Elvira comic since DC's House of Mystery in the 80s.

>>93986968
Just say you like campy spy adventures if he says anything.

>>93987312
I don't expect him to say anything, it's judgmental silence that I fear.

>>93987376
Just play it cool, just pick like one or two other comics and pretend like its no big deal. I believe in you, anon.

>>93987409
My pull list for this week has like ten other books, anything new I pick up will stand out.

>>93987312
It's like buying Playgirl

>I'm just getting it for my girlfriend

>>93987453
You're worrying too much about this, it's issue 1 of a new series, as long as you don't buy the nude photo cover, no one will think anything of it. I'm sure the comic store guy has no idea who Bettie Page was (depending on how old he is).

>>93986985
How many issues?

>>93987619
I think it's either 4, 5, or 6.

>>93987278
>Dynamite

So it'll be shit. Great. Why is it so hard for horror anthologiesthese days to get good writing and art?

>>93987278
Sounds cool.

>>93988104
What makes you say Dynamite is shit?

>>93988455
Their track record.

>>93988104
This book is Dynamite and it's good. Centipede is good. Magnus is good. Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys is good. About half of their Shadow books are good. Dynamite is actually turning things around recently. I used to absolutely hate them for things they were doing with pulp characters, but now I think they're on their way to surpassing Image in quality. Many of the books that I'm most excited for each week end up being Dynamite, even though that's mostly because they've started playing to my tastes a bit.

>>93986266
No problem.

>>93988671
>This book is Dynamite and it's good

It's passable at best.

>>93988595
Like?

Bumpin' because this was a fun comic.

>>93988819
The Shadow, mostly awful.
Green Hornet, outside of Year One, no good.
All Superpowers (i.e. public domain cape books) relaunches like Black Bat, Masks, Black Terror, etc. turned out pretty bad.
Bettie Boop, not outright bad but not good either.
Alice Cooper horror anthology? Dreadful.
Xena, trash.
All Army of Darkness comics almost 100% bad.
The Spirit, entirely dull and forgettable.
Vampirella, remember when they tried to redesign her?

Granted, they put out so much stuff that occasionally you do get some good titles by accident, but that's usually due to the talent rather than the property. Like most Ennis books will be good, unless it's the Shadow. Wagner's Zorro was excellent. The Bond comics have been surprisingly decent for a licensed comic.

Her breasts were a lot smaller in real life.

>>93985795
Yea the thing could have more vibrant colors too.

>>93989274
>All Army of Darkness comics almost 100% bad.
The main series is pretty shit since it got cluttered with crossovers and continuity errors, but the reboot "Ash and the Army of Darkness" was by far the best series they've done with that property.

>>93985614
Ah, yes. Another Dynamite book that rules you in with gorgeous cover art only to deliver rather uninspired interior art.

>>93985892
>That last panel
This is almost as bad as the recent issues of Marvel's Star Wars with the photoshopped film stills on cartoon bodies.

>>93985964
Accidental unibrow in one panel.

>>93985685
This is the cover I grabbed.

>>93985614
Would be cool if they try to replicate her really heavy southern accent in her dialogue.

>>93985764
Really? I thought they were bigger then themselves. Crazy!

>>93989274
>Vampirella, remember when they tried to redesign her?

Didn't they drop that and go back to her old look?

>>93991116
Yes.

bumping for others

>>93989274
Dynamite has a history of putting ZERO effort into getting quality writing or art for their books. FFS, they don't even have front page credits for most of their series! But that situation seems to be slowly, gradually improving, fortunately.

>>93988671
>Centipede is good

Really?

>>93986968
>>93987312

I guarantee the LCS guy buys some real weird porn comics for creepy regulars that he keeps hidden in their folders. This is nowhere near the worst thing he sees during any given week.

>>94001286
Both of the Atari books are good (Swordquest and Centipede).

There was also Leth's relaunch attempt. It's a shame the new Vampi book sucks, I was expecting more from the creative team

>>94001489
I didn't realize those were even both Dynamite.

>>93992908
Looks like an ugly Catwoman

>>94004328
It just looks ugly period.

>>94005478

I've tried to read it, it's as awful as you'd think.

You can barely call it a Vampirella book.
