New Comic Book Day Releases Available
New Comics will be released Thursday December 26th since the usual release day of Wednesday is Christmas Day. The following titles and more including variants will be released the day after Christmas: ​

​I just have a couple episodes left to watch of Umbrella Academy on Netflix and I only have one more chapter left to read in the Apocalypse Suite graphic novel. It’s been fun reading the graphic novel and watching the show at the same. 
​
There are major differences between the mediums, but also some direct similarities. The characterizations are similar and there is dialogue almost exactly the same in both, but there are many differences in occurrences and story development. 

The art of the graphic novel doesn’t quite translate to the show, and of course the novel doesn’t have the musical expression that the show can exhibit. The show does a great job using musical choreography to transition scenes fluidly. Overall for both channels, it’s a fun and entertaining story about a very different superhero team. 

Season Two for the Netflix series has been confirmed so maybe I’ll read another graphic novel while watching it. Fans often ask me: Should I read the book or watch the show first? My answer is to have fun with it.

My thoughts after reading 27 issues of Immortal Hulk:
​
It is a twisted sc-fi, and at times gross horror, with a biblical type narrative. Issue 25 was a new level of weird and went a little on tilt, but even though I believe the issue went in too much of a smartsy artsy direction, I like the idea of the Hulk as an unworldly entity rather than just a simplistic monster. 

Immortal Hulk No. 26 dived in politically with climate change disaster profiteering and emplaced Banner as almost terrorist like. By issue 27, the Hulk is back to action sequences with more political overtone narrative. While his antagonists are becoming further well defined as Roxxon and Minotaur, it needs a definitive conclusion to an increasingly large story arc to make the depth of the writing and character development meaningful.
