Well, here is a series which came out several months back but has yet to put out a second issue. I am hoping it will be rectified soon and I’ll get to continue reading this great comic. If, however, that doesn’t happen I would still suggest giving this one a read through.
“The Chemist” is the freshman offering of Jay Boose, a Pixar animator who has thrown his hat into the ring of comics. It’s being published by Image, but to say it’s being released sporadically would be an understatement.
New comics come out all the time, every week there is a brand new #1 to investigate, and sometimes you just don’t have the time or money to investigate it thoroughly. So begins the glorious new traditions of the “Sunday First Runs”. Every Sunday I’ll be calling out and reviewing a book which is either brand new, or at least only has a few issues out. You can learn about those smaller titles, which seem to pass by unnoticed, and hopefully you’ll go out and pick up a copy.
Our first title is “Doktor Sleepless”, written by Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Planetary), art by Ivan Rodriguez, and printed by Avatar Press. Really the fact that this is a book by Warren Ellis should be enough to get most of you up and moving towards your local comic shop, but if you’re still worried, well let me put them fears to rest.
