Every Monday on G&C I’ll be previewing the new comics I’m most looking forward to in the coming week. These are the comics that I expect will be fun, exciting, and worth your monies. If you think I’ve missed anything, leave a note in the comment section and let me know what you’re eagerly anticipating. Here’s my top three, and then a short list of other books to be aware of.

The Midas Flesh #4 Review: 4 / 5
Posted: March 27, 2014 by Curtis Hines in BOOM! Studios, Comicology - Comic Books, GeneralTags: BOOM! Studios, Comics, Review, Ryan North, The Midas Flesh
Cover to The Midas Flesh 4 from BOOM! Cover art by John Keogh.
Personally, I felt like issue three of “The Midas Flesh” moved a little bit slower than I would have liked. No complaints this week; “The Midas Flesh” 4 throws the warp drive into hyper-gear as the action picks up and story gets darker and deeper.
Bravest Warriors #18 Review: 3.5/5

Cover to Bravest Warriors 18 from BOOM! Art by Tyson Hesse.
I’ll admit it, I am a little biased; I love the “Bravest Warriors!” If you’ve never heard of them before, “Bravest Warriors” is a crazy fun cartoon created by Pendleton Ward (the same guy from “Adventure Time”) and available on the Cartoon Hangover channel from YouTube. The episodes are each five minutes long and seriously you guys, you owe it to yourself to go check out that awesomeness before you read any further. Seriously. Go.

Another comic book legend will soon appear on the small screen with the NBC series starring the once-con-man-now-detective character, John Constantine. Matt Ryan, known by Doctor Who fans in BBC’s “Torchwood” for his works in Showtime’s “The Tudors”, was recently released as the DC Comics‘ character John Constantine in new character photo below.

Hopefully not many readers will think of that Keanu Reeves 2005 flop Constantine, but rather the cunningly snarky antihero first introduced in the 1985 series the “Swamp Thing”. From 1988 to 2013, Constantine made his way as a lead character in “Hellblazer” and finally his own character series “Constantine,” where he fights to protect Earth against dark forces.

We recently had the opportunity to interview the team behind Comic Who (www.ComicWho.com), a Doctor Who-based webcomic! Marco Castiello (writer) and Elisa Moriconi (artist) are the duo behind the chibi-style comic strips. Comic Who has quickly become one of our favorite webcomics, mostly due to the general charm and clever Doctor Who humor that Whovians know and love. Castiello and Moriconi have recently launched a redesigned website, so be sure to take a look! This creative duo has created a truly lovely webcomic, and it was an absolute pleasure having the opportunity to interview them.
