3MY Round-Up: What Happened Next
In The Beginning
So, how have you all been?
After my banana-related ‘incident’ I finally have an appointment at the allergy clinic and will get a number of tests to see what I need to do.
How are you all finding this new method? With everything together, it seems a better way - hopefully, there will be some Custard Comix-related information coming your way too.

Round-Up
Image Comics has had two new series start this past week. Public Domain seems an interesting read and I wonder if Chip Zdarsky has some inside track on some of the comments being made. It seems very meta at the moment, but some enjoyable character work.
Sins Of The Black Flamingo started looking to me to be a very good yarn about a high-end thief with a Robin Hood tilt. Then things get mystical about halfway through and it steamrolls from there. I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next.
Crowdfunding
Some wrestling action returns to Kickstarter with La Mariposa. I really enjoy this series and have backed the previous two crowdfunders.
What secrets lie behind the Mask of Vulcan?
As mentioned above, Flintlock is now back on Kickstarter from Time Bomb Comics.

Two issues of 2000 AD from Rebellion - including one all-ages issue. I do enjoy the ‘regened’ issues, and there are some good new stories building in these.
It’s the end of an era from IDW Publishing this last week, with a special one-shot Transformers issue. In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles this week an arc finishes, but something new begins.
Zenescope Entertainment is juggling a lot of large storylines. These are well featured in Robyn Hood’s adventures, as well as the current Grimm Fairy Tales. On top of that, for horror fans, there is Grimm Tales of Terror Quarterly: Back to School.
Live now on GlobalComix is Amputation Captial from TPub. This is an interesting read, with a dark look at celebrities. Issues #1 and #2 are live now to read online.
A new series from Vault Comics has started this last week. Mindset is an interesting read, with some great art and an intriguing concept.
