So the world is coming to an end, Armageddon is upon us, the dead have risen from their graves and evil has been let loose across the face of the planet. Who do you call? No, not the Ghostbusters…you call the MEKSMEN!!!

If you can afford it!

LOS MEKSMEN have arrived on the scene and none too late, it seems there is an infestation of the living dead plaguing the Border around Juarez, Mexico, and I don’t mean the total bullshit of the living dead government of the United States, I’m talking an actual zombie-rific, brain eating, gut spewing, dead-fest!

I’ve been waiting for the newest offering from these guys for the longest time. 656 Comics is a studio based out of Juarez, Mexico, and they do actual comics, none of this Meximanga, Otaku, Dragon Power Ranger Ball bullshit. Its hard core comics in the vein of old pulp style tales and horror in the tradition of E.C.

LOS MEKSMEN introduces the two main characters of the series, FULANO DE’TAL which translates into JOHN DOE and EL FUMAROLAS or THE CHAINSMOKER. The two form the core of this heroes for hire type outfit. In their first adventure, the heroes are caught in the horror of not being able to get a decent drink at their local pub because, someone decided to unleash the gates of hell and let zombies pour through like there’s a government cheese giveaway! And I won't give away the big cliff hanger ending...Can anyone say...ZOMBIE KID!!!

The only problems with the book is:
1. It’s too friggin short, but hopefully that will be remedied in the coming issues, more zombie punching action!!! &
2.It’s in Spanish, which is no problem for me, but the monolingual members of the audience are gonna have a hard time deciphering what FUMAROLAS is sometimes saying, although CHEET! Is pretty easy to understand! I hope a English version comes out, although, it does take away a bit of the appeal for me. But I hear tell that the english versions will be released in a nice trade once the series wraps up!

So what are you waiting for, join in on the zombie bashing action and order your copy of LOS MEKSMEN from 656 COMICS!

GIANT SIZED WOLVERINE #1

INKS: DAVID AJA
COLORED BY: JOSE VILLARRUBIA
COVER BY: DAVID AJA

THE STORY:
Wolverine has been injured before, but never like this. Blasted with 5,000 rounds of machine gun shells and lifted to the edge of earth’s atmosphere by a giant robot, Wolverine was 85,000 feet in the air when he finally disabled the killing machine. Now, after a horrendous descent and fiery crash into a rural Nebraska cornfield, he lies at the edge of death, lapsing in and out of a coma as his body desperately tries to heal. And that’s when things really get bad.
The men who sent the robot to destroy Wolverine have come to finish the job. The townsfolk who witnessed the crash have gathered up a mob to hunt down and destroy the alien that’s landed. And Wolverine’s fate just might rest in the hands of the strange little girl who first found him in that dark cornfield. A strange little girl with an affinity for taking care of odd creatures, and whose family holds a deep, dark secret hidden from the light of day... House of Blood and Sorrow is an all new 34-page chilling story just in time for Halloween! Written by David Lapham (Stray Bullets) and illustrated by David Aja (Daredevil, X-Men Unlimited)
