Taking another shot at doing some Hard Time

From the quality highs of Arrested Development and Veronica Mars to the Black-n-Decker drill to the head lows of Joey and One Tree Hill (or reversed dependent upon taste), summer brings with it a change and inflection to lie prone. Sticking with sweat to that leather or vinyl couch, can or glass sucked to the forehead.

For some, a back laid right up against the fibro wall looking vainly for some of that cooling comfort only bricks might bring without an air-conditioner. Suffer those living in actual greenhouses. Or caravans.

Back again for another dose of soap dropping, behind the bars, shivs made from plastic knives antics, Hard Time. The only survivor of DC's Focus line of comics in 2004.

Sentenced to 50 years to life for his role in a high school prank gone tragically wrong, Ethan Harrow has just turned 16 in a maximum-security prison. He's made fast friends, earned mortal enemies, and even gotten his first kiss from a mysterious girl named Red. Above all else, Ethan's only just started to learn the boundaries of superpowers he didn't know he had!

The original HARD TIME team of legendary writer Steve Gerber (Howard the Duck, The Defenders) and Mary Skrenes (Omega the Unknown) and breakout talent Brian Hurtt (Queen & Country, Gotham Central) return for a second season that follows Ethan's quest for a new trial -- and reveals the secret histories of the lost souls inside State Penitentiary. Superpowers have never been this real!

Season two of a fine series, a chance again to take it up like a fan and ram it over along the other comics on the shelf.

Other brand spanking new titles (and a couple of rehashes) hitting out this week: The Looking Glass Wars: Hatter M from Image, Team Zero from DC Comics, Angel: Old Friends from IDW Publishing, Marvel Zombies from Marvel and Street Fighter II from UDON Studios.
