New comics

New comics!  With this I’ll actually be caught up for once.

Caravaggio

Milo Manara’s take on the life of the famed artist.  The art is stunning, no surprise there, and the gallery of Caravaggio’s work at the end is much appreciated.  The story is so-so, but when it looks this good…I’ll get the second one when it comes out, I think.  But if I miss it, I won’t be too bent of shape about it either.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 6

After a string of top-notch artists, Juan Ferreyra takes over as regular penciller.  I haven’t seen his work before, but I’m very impressed.  He draws kinetic, exciting action scenes, and it’s good to see Jason Aaron’s main plot start in earnest.  

One Hand 1-5/Six Fingers 1-5

These parallel miniseries were on a lot of end-of-year best-of lists, so I thought I’d check them out.  It’s about a serial killer and the cop trying to catch him, a tale as old as time.  It’s a moody, surreal mix of Blade Runner, Matrix, and Seven, and it largely succeeds.  It got a little too weird for me at the end, but I think another read would only improve the experience.  I’ll see how it goes when I revisit this, whenever that may be.
