Books of Magic V3 (2018)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Timothy Hunter is destined to be the world’s most powerful magician–at least, that’s what he’s been told. In the meantime, though, he’s just a regular teenager trying to deal with distant parents, school bullies, and adolescent crushes–and magic isn’t helping with any of it.

The forces of the supernatural seem to have it in for him. There are more than a few shadowy figures who will stop at nothing to eliminate what they see as a deadly threat to the balance of power–and those are the good guys. In order for Tim to survive long enough to fulfill his destiny, he’ll have to learn how to control his burgeoning abilities as well as figure out whom he can trust–and who wants him dead.

This journey of discovery begins with a new teacher named Ms. Rose, a homeless woman named Mad Hettie, and an owl named Yo-Yo–and it will lead him from suburban London straight to the heart of the Dreaming.

Posted on by EHT Comics

The Man of Steel is a 1986 limited series featuring Superman. Written and drawn by John Byrne, the series was presented in six issues which were inked by Dick Giordano. The series told the story of Superman’s modern origin, which had been rebooted with the 1986 series Crisis on Infinite Earths.

DC editors wanted to make changes to the character of Superman, including making him the sole survivor of his home planet Krypton, and Byrne’s story was written to show these changes and to present Superman’s origin. The series includes the baby Kal-El rocketing away from the destruction of Krypton, Clark Kent as a teenager in Smallville learning that he was found in a crashed space ship, his being hired at the Daily Planet in Metropolis, the creation of his secret identity of Superman, his first meeting with fellow hero Batman, and how he finally learned of his birth parents and from where he came. The series also included the reintroduction of a number of supporting characters, including fellow reporter and love interest Lois Lane and archenemy Lex Luthor, who was re-branded from a mad scientist to a powerful businessman.

Posted on by EHT Comics

Tag and Bink eventually find themselves trapped on the second Death Star dressed as the Emperor’s Royal Guards. After the confrontation between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, the Rebels destroy the space station, killing Tag and Bink in the process. Tag and Bink return as Force ghosts.

In the April 2006 comic, Tag and Bink are shown as children, haplessly trying to become Jedi under Master Yoda‘s tutelage.

It takes them three years (the length of the Clone Wars) to get back to the Jedi Temple, just in time to see clone troopers destroy the Jedi Order. They are confronted by Anakin, newly rechristened Darth Vader; he spares them due to their past association but warns them to abandon their Jedi training.

Toe Tags Featuring George A. Romero (2004)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Romero kicked off the DC Comics title Toe Tags with a six-issue miniseries titled The Death of Death. Based on an unused script that Romero had previously written as a sequel to his “Dead Trilogy,” the comic miniseries concerns Damien, an intelligent zombie who remembers his former life, struggling to find his identity as he battles armies of both the living and the dead. Typical of a Romero zombie tale, the miniseries includes ample supply of both gore and social commentary (dealing particularly here with corporate greed and terrorism — ideas he would also explore in his next film in the series, Land of the Dead). Romero has stated that the miniseries is set in the same kind of world as his Dead films, but featured other locales besides Pittsburgh, where the majority of his films take place.
