7 Days From Hell (Comic Book Review)

Created by: Bryan Edward Hill & Rob Levin
Key Artists: Brian Stelfreeze
Genre: Supernatural/Thriller

7 Days From Hell is published by Top Cow, the same folks responsible for The Darkness series and Witchblade. From the very beginning I will state this comic is both good and bad. The art and story of the comic is incredible but the downfall is 7 Days is included in Top Cow's Pilot Season Series. This basically means their will only be one issue, the pilot season series is compiled of a bunch of one shot comics and the fans can visit the Top Cow site and vote on their favorite. The plot of 7 Days stars John Bishop and he is a retired mercenary that is murdered.

In his process of going to hell, a rebellious renegade demon named Mandy makes him a offer to redeem himself. John is hired by Mandy to be her assasin to seek out and kill criminals but he only has 7 Days to kill each target or he is sent to Hell. I really hope 7 Days is turned into a movie, tv series, or even a series of comics. The Bruce Willis movie Surrogates started in Pilot Season, so maybe their is hope.

Whats going on everybody, it has been a while since I've posted last. So I figured to post about a new hobby of mine. Well its not really new, I've always been interested in comic books but I've always been discouraged with the lack of strong female and minority characters. Me personally I would love to see Black Panther in Marvel Vs Capcom 3 since Storm is already in it. Some links are below, check them out, especially share them with the youth.

Ghostface Killah - Cell Block Z (Graphic novel review)

Peace and blessings to all, I am proud to present to you a excellent read for everyone. You do not have to be a hip hop or Wutang fan to enjoy this novel but if you are it makes the experience of this well composed graphic novel elevate to a new level. I did not know what to expect from this novel, but Cell Block Z stands on its own when compared to its predecessor Method Man. The storyline is compelling and the illustrations from Chris Walker are remarkable balancing the gritty subject matter. Cell Block Z is a excellent read from cover to cover, leaving the reading wanting to know whats the next step for Ghostface Killah or awaiting the next installment. Just like the Method Man novel, I would love to see this novel turning into a animated series or a movie composed of these two novels. You will not be disappointed from this novel check it out to see if Ghost makes it to Cell Block Z.

But Dennis is nobody's lab rat. Reborn as a towering engine of destruction, Dennis will prepare for the fight of his life. He will rename himself Ghostface Killah. And his cry of righeous rage will echo beyond the cold steel walls of Cell Block Z.

I strongly feel every culture should have something to represent them with out being a "stereotype." A website I stumbled upon was the Museum of Black Superheros. I remember when I was you and my brother got me the first issue if Night Thrasher and I was amazed, there were a few other African American comics available. I am interested in seeing any type of comic that's not typical, for example I would love to see a Irish, Native American or Dominican based comic book character. Thats just my two cents, if and anyone knows of anything just let me know, Peace

Method Man Graphic Novel

I have spoken to a few of my fellow hip hop and art heads alike, and 95% of them had no idea that a Method Man graphic novel existed. The Meth graphic novel is well composed with a excellent story line and a great story line, which leaves the reader wanting to read to the ending yet sad because the story comes to a end. It is projected for each member of the Wu to have a graphic novel but time will tell. I would settle fro a Meth animated series or move adaptation of the novel.

This is a jawn that I read a few months back and it was really entertaining, Check it out its a blend of graffiti and hip hop with a great story line

From Publishers Weekly
This African-American novel of the streets pits its young hero, Blak, against local gangs, his brother's killers and his own inner demons. Blak must come to terms with his extraordinary gifts—a magical ability that lets him fight, lead others and rap at a high level. The plot is a bit hard to follow. It's not always clear who are Blak's friends and who are his foes, and the role of an almost-otherworldly recording studio head is never completely defined, but the book has a driving story line that keeps flowing. The color art is striking and shadowed, full of jewel tones and fantastic motion—this dystopia has a beating heart you can see and feel on the page. The characters are similarly oversized: big and angry, or big and loving, or confused in deep and tragic ways. A few of the stereotypes are a bit unfortunate, but scenes like Blak's encounter with the devil himself in the sewers feel alive and scary. At times, it's hard to tell whether the story is taking place in Blak's own personal dreamscape or in some hell on earth, but it doesn't really matter. The story brings a manga-like intensity to this inner-city quest. (Mar.)
