...addicted to the following...7 great comics on Comixology right now...

Comixology is a digital comic book reader and store that's been in place for a few years now.  For those not wholly addicted to paper, it's a tremendous resource.  The only drawback is that the resolution needs to deepen a bit, I'd prefer that as one of the few additions.  [And paper has its place, especially for the books we love of course.]

Morning Glories (Image) - I'm addicted to this surprise of a series.  The writing and art hit all the right notes, along with the elaborate story crafting of Nick Spencer and art by Joe Eisma.  Covers by Rodin Esquejo add the last touch of intrigue with each issue.  Generally the series can be described as a prep academy as "The Prisoner".  Six kids are taken to the mysterious and sadistic school and fight to stay alive, literally.  Not all is what it seems, since there are smart turns and shifts as to what forces are controlling the Morning Glory Academy.

Morning Glories #24

Mad Magazine (DC) - happy to see this very recent addition to the DC catalog.  When I was a tyke, Mad would publish one particular year with mini-magazines dedicated to the earliest issues.  They were not complete, but the level of thoughtful and whacked-out humor drew me into comics in general.  The flat comedic tone and striking images of the early Mad are something to behold.  Plus, the first issue is free right now!

Blue Estate (Image) - I'm really into Robert Valley's work right now.  The first exposure was with the Beatles' Rock Band cinematics - truly incredible concepts in lines and feel.  XBOX Dance Central's cinematics followed closely behind.  Then there was Tron Uprising and the upcoming Wonder Woman.  The only Comixology that has Valley's work is Blue Estate.  The story is fairly straightforward, but the hard lined visuals is what draws me in to this series.

Remains (IDW) - An almost by-the-numbers tale of survivors in Vegas.  However, Steve Niles and Kieron Dwyer craft more of a tale of what life would really be like when you are stuck with a person you barely tolerate but completely rely upon.  Was almost going to add the 'Remains' trailer, but the comics are so much better than the filmed adaptation.

Simpsons (Bongo) - not much to say that folks don't know, but the Simpsons as a comic book is an inventive and fresh take on the series that understands the comic book format as well as how to make things still funny.

Adventure Time (BOOM!) - probably already covered this one in another post, but AT is such a fresh take on the whole cartoon genre, that the foray into comics, and its success seem inevitable.  The richness is all graphical, since the story cannot be overly deep.  But the fun is terribly satisfying.

Before Watchman: Silk Spectre (DC) - probably with most of the comic populace, touching what is Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's work fills me with dread as well: taking an artist's work and playing upon it, may it be in the form of revisionism or other dread form of 'update', is physically sickening.  But DC smelled money and went for it - the result is intriguing in the same way that revisioned movies are being done.  Most fail, some succeed, some transcend...the Before Watchman don't transcend the masterwork of the original, but they are a pale homage that proved engaging enough.  It's probably more fascinating that DC went for it and some artists either embraced or revolted - and here are their works.  But, honestly, Moore and Gibbon's place with the original are well established.
