Its spring of 2020 and we are living through an unprecedented (in modern times) global pandemic. Along with that comes a lot of anxiety and feeling that the world is coming to an end. Well, it is not. And as proof, we present nine comic tales where the world, in fact, does effectively end. Now many people would prefer more escape in their escapism. We get that. But if you want proof that being stuck in your house with your computers and your family is not actually the worst, these tales may give you a little perspective. The fact that these stories include a veritable Who’s Who of some of the top talent in the industry doesn’t hurt either.
They are (starting at top, going left to right): The Walking Dead (Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, Charlie Adlard), Y The Last Man (Brian K Vaughn, Pia Guerra), Crossed (Garth Ennis, Jacen Burrows), X-Men: Legacy Virus (multiple creators doing a storyline over 8 years), DMZ (Brian Wood, Riccardo Burchielli), East of West (Jonathan Hickman, Nick Dragotta), Freak Angels (Warren Ellis, Paul Duffield), Sweet Tooth (Jeff Lemire), & Kamadi (the inimitable Jack Kirby). All the above images should be clickable with links that would take you to Amazon. We note that these are paid links that do send a teeny tiny amount back to us.
Earthquake hold putty.
One is eight nights while the other ate knights. Wocka Wocka Wocka!
Tell you what. Let’s all be better people and just let this one go.
