From the mountain tops we howl!

The story of this blog is called ‘Lonely Mountain’ by Sinead Lynch (a TokyoPop ‘Rising Stars Of Manga’ winner) with art provided by David Hedmark. This story was written when the first ‘Invisible Nation’ was completed and I was asked what Wolfman needed. I wanted to see what Sinead would create if she wrote dark tales. Sinead is an amazingly talented prolific writer who proceeded to write two great tales, one about love & lycanthropy and the second about childhood innocence and nosterfatu. Each tale just amazed me. I am big a werewolf fan and this story, which takes the cursed route, is very Romeo & Juliet - when you read it you'll understand! Finding the right artists to produce them has been a job in itself but David’s work for Lonely Mountain was just perfect. The second story called ‘Moloch’ is currently in the preparation stage and I hope to have art to show soon.

You’ll know David’s work from an earlier blog as he’s one of the lead artists on the upcoming AVH.

On the comic review front I got to read The Hulk vol 1 tpb 'Red Hulk' written by Jeph Loeb and art by Ed Mcguinness. From beginning to end this story struck me hard as crap, Jeph Loeb is an amazing writer but whatta hell happened here! This is a dumb story. And I'm not a fan of McGuiness but his art suits this big dumb story as the artist draws big blocks meat! I read the collected six issues about Red Hulk beating up a list of Marvels A & B stars (including the Green Hulk of course). Spoiler Ahead: At the end of issue 6 the Hulk smartens up to a weakness of the Red Hulk (with the done to death use of a Marvel team-up!) he beats his foe. What has happened to Jeph Loeb, is he turning out this crap at a 6-issue story a day to pay off some serious debts?!

If you haven’t read Bruce Jones' Incredible Hulk run (the predecessor that lead from WWH to this shot of piss) you need to get your hands on them and read a real Incredible Hulk story with depth. In vol 1., Return Of The Monster, the art is excellent too, with John Romita, Jr providing stunning visuals. It’s Bruce Jones’ run that made me pick this up to read and ouch is all I can say. What happened Jeph???!!! I’ve feared reading WWH! Maybe I’ll torture myself with that next!

Well, enjoy the art above. See you next week
