Mahmud A. Asrar | Enemy of Peanuts

So, last week’s She-Hulk: Cosmic Collision by Peter David and Mahmud A. Asrar solidified the green goddess’s position as the Coolest Chick in Comics!

First, Dan Slott’s semi-recent run with the heroine showed that She-Hulk could hold her own in the courtroom, in a brawl and in a quip-fest with villains and other heroes alike.

Then, Peter David had the jade giantess make a “Battlestar Galactica” reference in his World War Hulk prologue story with artist Gary Frank.

And this past week, ol’ Shulkie laid down a double-whammy of super coolness…

She’s upset she might be dead because that would mean she can’t use her tickets to see MY FAVORITE BAND! Awesome!

And she’s well versed in my favorite action movie franchise of all time! EVEN MORE AWESOME!

Props to PAD on those two rad references. I love when you pick up a one-shot and get great little character moments that make reading it an extremely rewarding experience!

Once more, I declare She-Hulk the Coolest Chick in Comics—and that’s it for now folks!

So, I was catching up on this week’s comics and was reading through on of my favorites from Image Comics, Jay Faerber and Mahmud A. Asrar’s Dynamo 5. After another another great issue, I flipped over to the back cover where I saw the following…

The cover and back cover of Dynamo 5 #12…

…And let’s zoom in for a closer look.

This quote comes from a Secret Stash review I did of Dynamo 5 back in Wizard #191, and while Mahmud mentioned me on his blog back when the review came out, and I’ve had blurbs of my reviews featured in press releases before, I believe this is my first blurb to actually grace the cover of a book—which is super exciting. I don’t write my reviews consciously trying to make them cover-worthy, I write them for readers looking for honest looks at books. But at the same time, it’s nice to know that something I’ve written—and honestly believe about a comics—was viewed by the creators and the people at Image as something that they thought was worth putting on their book. So, thanks to Jay, Mahmud and the good folks at Image for making one of my minor journalistic dreams come true!

Special thanks on this post goes out to my sister Lexie, who dug through a pile of my old Wizard’s littering my room back on the ol’ suburban Chicago homestead to help me confirm #191 featured my review. Thanks Lex!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I’m blurb-worthy!
