Picks of the Week: 8/29
It's time once again for Patrick and I to choose what we think are the best bets to put your money toward at the local comic store this week...
Squirrelly Gray SC - James Kochalka's children's book comes out to comic shops in soft cover this week, featuring a cute little squirrel who lives in a gray world, whose only source of entertainment is TV. But that all changes one night when he meets some fun characters - the tooth fairy, a fox and others. Forty pages of good, clean fun mixing verse and "comic-inspired" illustration. Barnes & Noble suggests it for kids aged 5 - 7.
Like Speak of the Devil, currently serialized in comic book form from Dark Horse, Chance In Hell is an “adaptation” of one of Love and Rockets character Fritz’s B-movies. I believe Fritz appears as a prostitute in this tale of an orphan girl who abandons her harsh life in a junkyard shantytown, only to encounter further abuse and exploitation in the big city. Beto’s take on sleazy, exploitation cinema should prove interesting.

Chance In Hell - I’m very much looking forward to this new, original graphic novel from Gilbert Hernandez because, well, It’s a new, original graphic novel from Gilbert Hernandez. Also, it’s gotten some terrific advance reviews. And Sloth was awesome.
