What’s to Love: We’ve all been Clarence at one point. He’s an optimistic, nine-year-old kid who sees the best in everyone and is happy to play the day away with his best friends, Jeff and Sumo. Writer Derek Fridolfs and illustrator JJ Harrison bring all the heart from the hit Cartoon Network animated series to our first-ever Clarence original graphic novel, and it reads like an extended episode of the show. Take a moment to relive childhood! What It Is: Clarence and his friends join the Rough Riders Scouts for a summer out in the woods. While looking through a cave, they discover a lost journal written by the notorious Black Buck The Pirate (an ancestor of Rough Rider Chicken founder Buckey O’Neill). It details his adventures on the ocean and where he buried his treasure. But he also warns of a phantom chicken that haunts the forest, and drove many of his crew mad. Now, Clarence and his friends are in a race against their rival, Joshua Maverick, to find the buried treasure, while avo

Written by “Hellboy” creator Mike Mignola and drawn by Ben Stenbeck, “Hellboy and the B. P. R. D.: 1953 – The Phantom Hand & the Kelpie” is less a standalone one-shot and more of a slim anthology collection. Twenty-two pages of story delve into the past and provide some character interaction between Hellboy, Harry Middleton and Trevor Bruttenholm. The trio actively encounters one threat in the opening tale, while the backup story is more of an exploration of Middleton and Bruttenholm’s shared history. Seventeen pages are dedicated to “The Phantom Hand,” as Hellboy accompanies Harry Middleton and Trevor Bruttenholm to St. Albans, England. This story is a tight little chestnut of Hellboy’s adventures and could easily serve as a sampler for what readers might be able to expect in additional tales. Mignola uses the threat of the Phantom Hand to provide a case for Middleton and Bruttenholm to perform a character study in front of the readers. The end result informs readers of all thr

Writer Brian Clevinger opens “King: The Phantom” #1 with a funeral pyre for the fallen Phantom in front of Skull Cave, which is as good a place as any for his artistic collaborator Brent Schoonover to introduce readers to the shadowy mysteries ahead alongside Robt Snyder’s colors and Simon Bowland’s carefully appointed letters. The story itself follows Lothar Kehwabe’s quest to find the twenty-third Phantom. In the interim, he dons the purple costume and the skull ring and rides a horse into Clevinger’s story. Clevinger keeps the story moving, adding players to the board as the plot continues to open up. Lothar makes an intriguing choice for the Phantom and a compelling lead character while his aide, Guran, plays the part of his Alfred, guiding him through battle and helping him before and after. Not only does “King: The Phantom” #1 introduce readers to the new Phantom, it also introduces readers to Bangalla and the troubles there. Clevinger gives readers everything they could want i
