First Read of the Week!

Age of Reptiles: The Journey #1

Dawn breaks over a sprawling forest in the Cretaceous... a dawn far colder than its peaceful, forest-dwelling herbivores are used to. The weather is changing, and it's time for the able-bodied to migrate south; but the trek is a dangerous one even when massive herds band together, for while there is safety in numbers, numbers also draw attention, and the carnivores -- including a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex -- are moving in!

After a hiatus of waaay too many years, Richard Delgado returns to his Eisner Award-winning series, Age of Reptiles. Told entirely in pictures, Delgado's evocative art draws the reader in and keeps him suspended in the life and death struggles of the creatures that dominated the Earth in aeons past. A treat for comics fans of all ages by an acknowledged master of the genre!

Trick or Treat!

It's that time of year again - when ghost and goblins and spooky critters run around demanding candy, and parents lie awake at night, suffering cold sweats while calculating the impending dentist bills. But it's not all tooth decay - you can rot your mind too! This Hallowe'en, swing by your friendly neighbourhood Curious Comics for a fistful of free Hallowe'en comics. Choose from a Casper the Friendly Ghost/Little Lulu double feature, Popeye, Archie, and Star Wars.

Have a safe and fun Hallowe'en from Curious Comics!

Thor, Thou Hast Thy Father Much Offended

Wow, this upcoming Thor movie from Marvel is just looking better and better! This morning's big news - Academy Award-winning actor Anthony Hopkins is set to step into Odin Allfather's iron-girded boots for the big show. Hopkins joins Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston (as Loki... presumably the male version), Chris Hemsworth (the Big T himself) and director Kenneth Branagh - that's what you call an all-star cast and crew, right there. A world away from Thor's last live-action appearance... which is probably best left forgotten, actually.
