The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

For an increased price. £5.00 almost! Bah!

It's the only monthly comic thing I purchase anymore. I think it's much better value than your standard chapbooks.

This issue contains Millar's Supercrooks #1, Secret Service #1, a new comic called Death Sentence which seems pretty damned cool and more Rex Royd from Frankie Boyle.

Supercrooks and Secret Service were standard Millar comics. A standard tale (James Bond, heist story) mixed with superheroes and "street" talk. Lots of "fucks" and "cunts"

Rex Royd is a mess IMO.

Hit Girl #1 is in next months issue.

Also some pretty interesting news about American Jesus and Supercrooks films.

chapbooks? what does poetry have to do with this?

Chapbook: "A chapbook is "a small book or pamphlet containing poems, ballads, stories,"

Aka your standard 23 page comic books.

So this book is basically Millar's self-wankfest, right?

He's just re-releasing his own books in one magazine?

Because Supercrooks and The Secret Service are already on like.. the third issue, individually.

Yeah it is Millar heavy this volume, but the last volume had Turf and Who is Jake Ellis as well.

It's normally about half Millar and half other comics.

Rob Liefeld has a better chance of saving comics than Clint.

Ah. But it's all stuff that's been released on its own already, not original stuff?

I think the format is absolutely fantastic, and IMO it's the format comics should be moving towards.

Turf was great, though. Loved that book.
