The Book I Want to Buy:
Bulletproof Coffin
by David Hine and Shaky Kane; Image, $17.99
I don’t actually have the first clue what this comic is about (I so rarely read the solicitation text of books I know I want to read – I prefer to be surprised by their content), but I do know that it got a lot of very positive reviews, and was generally well-received.
David Hine has proven himself to be a capable writer when working for the Big Two companies, and has built up a bit of a reputation for himself for writing original and bizarre independent titles. I’m not familiar with Shaky Kane, but his work looks like a cross between late-80s Keith Giffen, Ladronn, Michael Allred, and maybe a little of David Mazzuchelli. That alone makes the book worth reading.
The entire first issue is available here.
So, what would you buy Were Money No Object?
