The Creeper, Rush City & AntMan

Hello all, once again Welcome to Peter’s Picks! Let’s get started!

The Creeper

Story: Steve Niles
Art: Justiniano (kind of like Madonna)
Inks: Waldon Wong
Colors: Chris Chucky
Format: 6 issue mini
I’m a big fan of Justiniano’s work since the Human Race!
Awesome work on that one, please check it out! On Creepy unfortunately he
did not do the whole mini (two issues went to Steve Scott, not bad, but not
the J man!) but what he did do was great to look at and just…uh creepy!
Waldon did his stand up work and Chris is outstanding with his colors, I
love the dudes work!!!. I’ve only read a short list of Steve’s work, but
very much dig the workings of his craft! Not a big fan of everything thats
been done post crisis in the DCU but this one worked without wiping out
what’s fun about Mr. Creeper. Thumbs up on this one!



Rush City
Story: Chuck Dixon
Art: Timothy Green II
Inks: Rick Magyar
Colors: Jose Villarrubia
Format: 6 issue mini (I’ve read up to issue 4)
Another good pick would have to be this one,..not outstanding story
wise but fun and interesting. A good tale for Chuck, sometimes his works
have been too standard for my tastes but I like this one. The true feature
of this book is Tim’s work,..I’m liking his line very much, not your normal
comic approach or common line work, definitely look for this mans work, it’s
truly a treat as well! (He did the comic adaptation of AEon Flux!) The
inking by Rick is nicely done and what can one say about the incredible
Jose,..except that this is by no means his best work but a clean, crisp well
done job

The Irredeemable Ant Man!....what?
Story: Robert Kirkman
Art: Phil Hester
Inks: Ande Parks
Colors: Bill Crabtree
Again…What? Yes a comic one can wonder what the hell was Marvel (2 for
DC, had to go Marvel…that makes DC =2, Marvel =2…next time we go indy!!!)
thinking,…but I love it! A funny funny book (ongoing as far as I can tell,
up to ish 5!) with a great terrible hero!?! Robert (The Walking Dead
genius!) spins a tale of a guy you just want to slap,..funny, did I say
that!!! Phil’s work is perfectly suited for this strange tale and does a
fine job,..its all the more funny because of his pacing and layouts! Great
job! Sure because the art is sort of blocky you might think anyone could ink
this! Well then you don’t know anything about inking pal, I do! And Ande
does a great job, as well as Billy boy with his nice color work! Great book
all around. One just wonders if Marvel will keep this one going,..I mean the
guy is a jerk! Please support this baby, it rocks!!!

That is all my friends, until next time….peace, peter!
