My random comic pick on The Comic Conspiracy: Episode 53 is the Image Comics title Blue Estate written by Viktor Kalvachev & Andrew Osborne with art from Viktor Kalvachev, Toby Cypress, and Nathan Fox. I was first intrigued by this book when I found number one for free on Comixology. It was the cover that grabbed my interest, and so I downloaded it in case I got curious enough to read it digitally. That didn't happen, but I finally picked up the first two trades, and I was blown away by what I read; truly entertaining.Blue Estate is not a crime noir book; it is a fun pulp comic which turned out to be a really fun read. There are numerous characters, and the interactions between them make for some interesting situations. If you like Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino then you will love this series.
The comic reminded me of the 2005 movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang that starred Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer, which was amazing. I think you should check out both.

I need to check this - thanks for the heads up. Remember when DC did pulp comics for a skip week event - back in the days when companies didn't stretch shit out for a damn year.
ReplyDeleteThey did. Sounds interesting. I'm going to take a guess and say that there isn't a trade of that shit.
DeleteThis sounds cool, I'll give it a shot sometime.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't hurt to try a free first issue on Comixology.
