Digital Comics Store Update (11th August 2010)

Hello everybody! It’s time to have a look at this week’s new digital comics.

DC Comics release the first two issues of one of my favourite comics series Y: The Last Man. If you’ve not heard about it the premise is simple. A mysterious plague has killed every man (& beast) on earth except Yorick Brown and his pet monkey. Now this may sound like a good thing for Yorick as it’ll be up to him to repopulate the human race… But the world he wakes up to is a confused & dangerous one; there are even some women who call themselves the Amazons claiming that nature wiped out the oppressive men so that the fairer sex could take over the world. Brian K. Vaughan (Runaways) has created a wonderful, thought provoking series and I recommend it to you all.
DC also bring you a free copy of Safe Inside (Zuda) and we start a new series of Green Lantern: No Fear.
From Marvel this week we have all 5 issues of Venom: Dark Origin in which we discover the true twisted roots that gave rise to a lifetime of malevolence for Eddie Brock.
We also see the first issue of a book that follows the exploits of a gun-wielding monkey assassin. The simian witnesses the destruction of his tribe at the hands of a bunch of armed men. With no family and no home, the only thing left for him to do was avenge his fallen brothers. “And thus the legend was born. A killer of killers, forever to be known… as Hit-Monkey”
Finally don’t miss the 3rd issue of Eternal Descent From IDW.
