WELCOME TO PENGUIN COMICS 2.0

SO, I have tried many things with this blog over the years. I have a few faithful readers, but with a full time job and many side projects this blog seems to fall by the wayside. Then I figured it out. I was trying to report on all comics all the time.
Why bother?
There are so many of those already. So, I had a brainstorm.
I read quite a few independent comics.
Do you know how many of them I see on websites?
Not very damn many.
That's a shame because these are some great books.
They deserve the attention.
So, here's the new game plan;
One blog post a week.
One book covered.
It will never be Marvel. It won't be DC, Hell, it might not even be Image. I know it won't be Valiant because I don't buy any of those. These will always be books that I think are important enough to tell people about so they will read them.
I've already got one.
Ready?
Here we go with Penguin Comics 2.0

Martin Comity is a genius when it comes to blowing the horn. He lives it, breathes it and The War Room is the only Jazz club to have him. Sweety, the owner of The War Room knows this. She also understands that he drinks like a fish, screws anything with boobs and, sometimes, when that's not enough he takes other things.
But when he gets on that stage and starts to wail that all falls by the wayside. People come to The War Room to see Martin play.
Including Benjamin Way. A writer that writes about life. Now his life is Martin Comity and he sees something that everyone else misses. A darkness like no other.
Martin partakes of a drug called The New Blue and it sends him headfirst into a hallucinatory landscape that shows him the truth. The twisted, messed up, what the Hell is that truth.
When he comes down he has changed. See, Martin isn't a regular guy with stuff going in one ear and out the other. Evrything he takes in makes its way through his body. It becomes a part of him. 
I read the description of this comic somewhere and it stuck in the back of my head. I had never heard of Scout Comics before and this made a huge impression on me.
The blending of music and something lurking underneath is a fascinating concept. I love the artwork and the layout of every page emulates Jazz in its most improvisational form. I can't wait to see where we go from here.
I know it will be cool as a cucumber daddy-o.

Go get it and I will see you next week.
