Two new comics !

When in Croatie Cath and I spend most of our time in Zadar.
But, We went to Sibenik as well for a few days.
There they had a nice book store with lots of great comics as well!

The first one I bought is a newly released, special eddition of the all so famous ' The Crow ' Comic.
' The definitive author's vision of the classic Graphic Novel '
Not only is the comic itself longer and ' Finally finished ', but also does it have a nice few words of the author himself, James O'Barr.
He tells us why he ones started to write The Crow, revealing a heart breaking story of his past that gives him a strong connection to the man with the painted face. And we finally get to learn just who this 'Shelly ' was.

Also does he share his experience with the movie ' The Crow ' he was strongly involved with. And so naturally, the books starts with :
" In memory of Brandon Lee "
Makes your heart bleed doesn't it ?

It kinda scares me in a way that there's a chance Tom Hiddleston will be playing the Eric aka The Crow.
It's such a sad story, brought to life by sad events, many believe it's ' cursed ' in a way. Especially after the death of Brandon Lee during the making of the first movie.

But, I do strongly believe Tom would play such a great Crow! We all know his love for poetic literair works of the past and so I'm sure he'll play the role with much respect, and that he'd put all his heart into it.

Can I just point out one of the ' bad guy's ' name is Tin Tin ? It makes me giggle.
The Crow truly deserves it's fame. Now that I've read the ' final ' version of it, I realise just how deep this book goes, like poetry.
I had to read it twice to capture it completely...but now I've completely fallen in love with the story again.



The Second comic I bought is the first Issue of " Saga " .
It's 'adult Fantasy science fiction ' If I had to place it in a subgenre,  and the artwork is amazing.
This comic is the outcome of great teamwork between the writer, Brian K. Vaughan and the artist Fiona Staples.
The story hasn't really set sail yet in the first issue but already I'm hooked.
The characters really get to me, and I love how all the ' main characters ' are in wars against each other yet none of them is a protagonist or ' Bad guy '.

And the Spider lady is Stalk. I adore her...
Isn't she a beauty ?
