The Immortal HULK

What I am currently reading on Marvel Unlimited is the Immortal HULK, written by Al Ewing and penciled by Joe Bennet with colours by Paul Mounts and inks by Ruy José Each issue has covers by Alex Ross! Up to now I have read three issues which I liked them so much that I though I should
spread the word.

Issue one of the Immortal Hulk was interesting although I did think I have seen this approach to the character before.

With issue two I had the impression on how the storyline would go, it had a darker feeling to it almost a touch of a horror movie which I liked a lot.

And issue three was simply entertaining!!! One story said by the point of view of four people which means each view was portrayed by the unique style of four different artists Leonardo Romero, Paul Hornschemeier, Marguerite Sauvage and Gary Brown with Joe Bennet doing the framing sequence! It was an amazing issue and I enjoyed reading every single page of it.

Al Ewing is reintroducing the dynamic duo personalities of Bruce Banner and Hulk in a way that I believe will entertain both old and new readers and Joe Bennet’s art is just perfect, defined and detailed!

I will be back for issue four and I strongly suggest for you to check it out.

Miranda – my comic characters

Miranda was shy as a child and even more shy as a teenager, always hiding behind her long fringe. 

She loves cats for being so free and the cats loved her for being so shy.

But Miranda although so shy she had a beautiful smile…a smile her boyfriend loved to see with her red shy cheeks.

Finding Comic Books – X-Men in London

My love for Uncanny X-Men

I’m a big fan of the X-Men so l was excited when l heard that an all new Uncanny X-Men series was coming out. The only problem was that l did not know when!

Two days ago l while I was in London I found out that 4 issues had already been published!!!

By chance I was in Soho and I knew that Gosh! Comics was just around the corner.
There I found the first two issues, when I asked for the rest I was informed that issue three was already sold out and that the fourth one was coming out the next day.

I explained that I live in Greece and soon I would be going back so it was so kind of them to offer to keep a copy of issue four and if I was lucky enough maybe they will have an issue three.

Next day I went and GOSH issue 3 & 4 were there waiting for me.

I’m such a happy comic book fan!

Finding Comic Books – Fez

Finding Comic Books Everywhere

Visiting Morocco was a unique experience, there is so much to see, you can’t get enough you just want to see more.

Staying though in a Medina did not give the opportunity and the time to look around for comics.

In Fez though I did find in a small bookstore a couple of very old hardcover anthologies. They featured comics like Tarzan and other comics which originate from UK. They were translated in Arabic and the pages were coloured in blue, orange and black & white, a colouring which was used in Greece as well in the past. Didn’t like them so much although they might’ve had some collectors value.

The last day though at the airport I found in the duty free a comic book…l do believe everyone loves a Disney comic, especially if it features Scrooge Mac Duck!

Finding Comic Books – Amman, “Wide Screen Comics and Manga”

“Wide Screen Comics & Manga” comic book store in Amman Jordan

I’m visiting Amman in Jordan and I’m really enjoying it. I was also so glad that I found a comic book store there .

The store is called “Wide Screen Comics & Manga” and its not that far from downtown Amman. It has been around about 4 years.

It has a good solid collection of comics that would satisfy a comic books appetite and merchandise.

I had a chat with one of the two owners Osama and bought a comic book which is from a Jordanian artist.

watch the following video to listen in on what Osama and I chatted about!
