Uber Volume 1

So Im reading Uber and I'm thinking Downfall meets Dragonball Z. Thats the only fucking way to discribe this book. Basicly its the closing days of the war and Russia are kicking the Germans as as the enter Berlin. Hell even some of the Nazie soldiers are turning tale. In one moment when one such poor soul trys to surrender to a Russian Tank we get to meet the ubermensch who all have battle ship code names and rightly fucking so. They lay waste to an entire tank devision and dont break a sweat. Basiclly the germans have perfected the superman and are now turning the tide much to the worry of the Allies.
The source of the power is a red stone which when exposed to certain humans enhances them mentally and psychically. The Allies do get some samples of their own thanks to sexy English spie and trys to make its own super men in a very Captain America like set up.

kieron Gillen's script is top notch and riddle with black humor with some savagely gore filled moments that while should shock you make you actully laugh at how over the fucking top they are. Cannan Whites art work is really nice and sharp.

This book is a wicked take on world war two and totally destroys the romance of the like of the Captain America books but in a strange way also pays homage to them. Uber while is very very gore'y you cant take it too serous and it not as graphic in other aspects which Avatar books are.


Uber earns a solid 9/10





Ferals volume 1-3

Imagine the Howling on acid then you got Ferals. This wickedly savage comic is werewolves done Avatar Press so you know shits going to be gorey.

The book starts off with Sheriff Dale Chestnut looking into the death of a local man who has been torn to bits and has had his dick stuffed into his mouth ((just in case you forgot your reading an Avatar book))
Dale is stumped and goes to his local bar two drown his sorrows only to have heated sexual encounter with a strange beauty in the bars bathroom. This woman seems to bring out a more aggressive side and when that woman winds up dead along with the murder mans wife who Dale slept with the local cops seem to suspect Dale himself.

Turns out the killers a werewolf and Dale is now infected but not from a bite but from fucking the strange woman who comes from a community of Viking women who's men are Ferals. Premade werewolves who have amazing powers which include advanced healing and reflex's all of which Dale has now. The First volume leaves us with one hell of a cliffhanger and If I go into the books too much I'll ruin it on ye.

The art work from Gabriel Andrade is astounding be it action scenes or gore....this man dosent shy away from drawing what needs to be drawn. Of course this is a David Lapham book so your going to have to draw some fucked up shit...but well written fucked up shit.

Like Crossed before it this sure as shit aint going to be for everyone and if your any way a feminist give this book a wide fucking berth.


Ferals volume 1-3  8/10
