It’s that time of the month already?! Let’s get to it!
Artifacts Volume 1 Trade Paperback.
Less than $10 (USD, SRP) for four issues of this gorgeous, awesome event from Top Cow? It’s a little mind-boggling, I know. Sit down, sip a little warm milk – and if you’re one of those people who still insists Top Cow is just about T&A, throw that misconception out the window and take a chance on this book. Ron Marz is on his game, and Michael Broussard’s artwork has never looked better, in part thanks to the amazing contributions of Sal Regla, Rick Basaldua, and Sunny Gho.

(Editor Roger Ash here. Last time on Beauology 101, Beau reminisced about his first paying and published work in comics. He decided to ask his friends in the comics industry to share what their first published and paid work was in comics. That’s all you need to know. Now, read on….)

I’m sure some people (mostly Westfield Comics retail store customers and employees), are getting tired of me raving about and pushing some of the more recent Top Cow Universe comic books. Well, until more people start listening to me and actually trying them out instead of holding onto vague, if not out-of-date, perceptions of the publisher’s products, I’m going to keep preaching.

You may have noticed that we’re listing Ron Marz and Lee Moder’s Shinku ashcan this month. Since I already have a copy, I thought I’d give some of my thoughts on it, and if you were on the fence about trying it, hopefully I can push you off the fence and onto the side of “Buy!”

As I write this, I’m listening to John Siuntris interview Kelly Sue DeConnick for his Word Balloon podcast. Maybe if you listen to it while reading this, you’ll understand me just a little bit better…
Probably not.
In his career in comics, Ron Marz has written such books as Marvel’s Silver Surfer, DC’s Green Lantern and Ion, Dark Horse’s Star Wars: Darth Maul, and CrossGen’s Mystic and Scion. Recently, he has written a number of Top Cow titles, which are published by Image, including Witchblade, First Born, Angelus, and Magdalena. This month he begins Artifacts, a series that will change the Top Cow Universe. Westfield’s Roger Ash recently spoke with Ron about this series.
