If you’re an adult who doesn’t read comic books and you find your life boring or getting there, try reading comics again or for the first time if that’s the case. Here is my quick starter comic book guide for you.

If you’re one of the millions who loved the 2 Kolchak the Night Stalker movies and original TV series growing up and were totally bummed out by the awful, stiff, sterile 2005 TV remake “starring” Stuart Townsend, cheer up there’s a fairly recent Kolchak the Night Stalker comic book series by Moonstone Comics featuring new original stories that’s surprisingly quite good and faithful to the original TV Series starring Darren McGavin.

Dark Horse Comics “The Goon” by Eric Powell is simply one of the best comics ever and would be a great Cable TV Series with the right actors. I just read that its going to be made into an animated movie directed by David Fincher (”Fight Club”) which is great but I would have loved “The Goon” to have been a live action TV series on Cable TV. Just imagine a nastier version of “Casablanca” meets “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” meets “Deadwood” meets “Sin City”. Ah, the dreams.

I just finished reading “Kill All Parents” by Mark Andrew Smith on Image Comics and it it the greatest and funniest Superhero comic book story I have ever read. The writer, Mark Andrew Smith is a genius and the art by Marcelo Di Chiara and his colorist Russ Lowery is awesome. I have to admit, I bought this comic book just for the title. I knew it had to be good! I’m really surprised that as far as I know this title hasn’t been used before. I know I wouldn’t have the guts to use it! Wow, comic books sure have since I was a kid in the 60’s!
