COMIC BOOK REVIEW: TOMMY

By
Here's a review for another book put our by local publisher Creature Entertainment. This book is called Tommy, and it's not about a pinball wizard
.

Tommy is the simple story of a very disturbed boy. As the comic opens Tommy the little boy in questioned is scared and hiding in a closet. He goes to make a dash for his room and just as he's about to reach success he's attacked by a menacing rabbit. This rabbit is Tommy's psychosis. Tommy's rabbit is about to do something unthinkable to Tommy when his mother interrupts and saves Tommy or his pet rabbit from a disturbing fate.

 
We're then shown Tommy's school teacher and principal talking about the problems of Tommy. The book builds to Tommy's first murder. First off, the art in the book by Juan Navarro is stylish and fluid, each page is unique and dynamic. The art elevates a simple story and makes it feel complex and deep. The writing credits go to John Ulloa and Al Bondiga who deliver a profane story that is bleak and engrossing. I enjoyed this book and really dig the stuff that Creature Entertainment is putting out.

This comic is one such oddity. Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special jam-packed with two epic Garfield's Pet Force stories. What is Garfield's Pet Force? I had no idea. I'm familiar with the concept of Oddie and Garfield and watched the cartoon a few times as a kid. I wouldn't consider myself a Garfield fan in the slightest. This comic may have changed my mind on the lasagna loving cat, though. Garfield's Petforce is Garfield as a superhero named Garzooka. Garzooka leads the Pet Force which is made up of his cartoon friends who have their own superpowers and dorky names. The stories are written by Scott Nickel. The first one is called "Cat-astrophe in the Cosmos" with pencils by Gary Barker and George Lane the third, inks were done by Mark and Stephanie Heike. The story s...

-Can we officially shut the fuck up about Jake Locker now? I don't care if he was playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-20 for 71 yards, a TD, and 2 INTs is unacceptable. If you take away a 45 yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse, he was 3-19 for 26 yards and 2 INTs. He's got lots of talent and I'm sure he's a perfectly decent kid but the idea that Locker is the ultimate prospect in this year's NFL Draft is inexplicable. His Heisman campaign is obviously deader than dead at this point and I see no reason that he won't be the next Tim Couch. -Here's a random one: Kansas is down 31-10 to Southern Miss...they score a touchdown with 5:17 left in the game...and go for two?! Uh...what? Who did the math on that one? What possible scenario are they planning for? Are they planning cut the deficit to 13 instead of 14 in hopes that, in the event that they have to settle for two field goals at some point, they can still tie the game (with the addition of another touch...
