Buy This: Two New Comics Sure to Thrill

Welcome back, readers! We missed last weeks "Buy This" entry, so get ready because we're throwing two recommendations at you this time around. Both titles are all new and being published by Image. What's that? "Which one do I buy?" BOTH! Here's why!

First we have Velvet, a spy thriller written by the perpetually-awesome Ed Brubaker (of Winter Soldier and Gotham Central). The first issue sees Velvet Templeton dive into the action as she tries to solve the murder of the world's best secret agent. The twist? It's been her first field mission in about 20 years! Now entangled in secrets and lies, will she be able to successfully carry out her mission? Drawn by Steve Epting (who worked with Brubaker on Gotham Central), this book is dark and dramatic, but action-packed and thrilling enough to leave your heart pounding as you struggle to wait for the next issue.

When you're done with Velvet (and still in need of comics because who can ever get enough?), make sure you also grab the newest from Captain Marvel writer Kelly Sue DeConnick. Titled Pretty Deadly, the comic follows a young girl garbed in a cloak constructed from vulture feathers and her companion, a blind man who's a sharpshooter with a mysterious past. Together, they are on the run from the daughter of Beauty and Death and never seem to be far away from her grasp. DeConnick's writing and artist Emma Rios' artwork come together to create a gritty, thrilling western with a supernatural twist that is sure to become a favorite.

See you tomorrow!

Buy This: Dark, New Tale from menton3

Halloween draws nearer and the comic industry knows it. In this week's "Buy This" we're spotlighting Chicago-native menton3's newest work titled "The Memory Collector," which is just what the spooky season called for.

In typical menton3 style, the book is beautifully illustrated. He once again shows that comics do not have to be constrained to the traditional pencil-ink-color method of illustration and that the fine art of painting has a place right here on comic shop shelves.

Art by menton3

In addition to illustrating the book, menton3 also wrote the story which follows three women who have found themselves responsible of hunting down unearthly entities who feed off of memories. What is especially compelling is that menton3 at times breaks into prose storytelling, rather than sticking to conventional comic book storytelling, adding a slight level of sophistication.

If you're a fan of menton3's Monocyte or Transfusion, or a fan of his artwork, the first issue to this 3 part series is a definite buy.

Buy This: Nine Tales of Divine Horror

Halloween is one month away, which means it's time to get spooky! In this "Buy This," we're spotlighting a new, one-shot being published by Vertigo with stories that will send a chill down your back. Read on after the cut.

Cover art by Jenny Frison

The Witching Hour is an anthology comic that contains 9 all-new stories that go beyond just trying to scare you. While the stories do deal with witches, spirits, and monsters, the writers also want to show that there are beasts that exist outside of a horror movie. The stories "Daniel" and "Little Witch," for example, focus on men who made a choice long ago, only to be haunted by the ghost of their decisions. "This Witch's Work" shows that people who belong in the transgender or transexual community still have to deal with many demons, inner and outer.

The book features a talented group of various writers and artists, many names you have no doubt heard of before. Kelly Sue Deconnick (Captain Marvel) and Ales Kot (Suicide Squad and Zero) have a story in this comic, and Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman) contributes art to another.

More than just a seasonal horror comic, The Witching Hour is definitely something to pick up as soon as you can.
