Scarface: Scarred For Life #1; written by John Layman, art by Dave Crosland
Scarface is still riding high more than twenty years after the guns out blazing final scene from the Brian De Palma version of events. There's a constipated action figure of Tony Montana looking for a squat. A motion activated version screaming its head off. There's even a bobble head (which looks quite gubernatorial). And of course, now there's a comic...
When we last saw Cuban exile and Miami gangster Tony Montana, his cocaine-fueled body was riddled with bullets in the 1983 Brian DePalma cinematic classic, Scarface. Now, IDW Publishing proudly presents the second coming of Tony Montana in the sequel to the end-all-be-all of gangster movies with an all-new five-issue comic book miniseries... Scarface: Scarred for Life.
The blood-soaked tale picks up where the movie left off, as Tony Montana survives—you read that right—but just barely. Having lost almost everything—including very nearly his life—Tony must once again claw his way to the top of the sun-drenched Florida underworld. If the odds were stacked against the gangster before, he now stands in the shadow of odds stacked twice as high.
The creative team responsible for the resurrection of Scarface is writer John Layman (Fantastic Four, House of M) and artist Dave Crosland (Hack/Slash: Land of Lost Toys), the demented duo responsible for the wickedly depraved and seriously funny comic series, Puffed.

Tim Seeley and Andrew Wildman say that Bumblebee may still be gone from the series, but that don't mean they're not carting around the crossover again with the GIs and the Bots.
G.I. Joe VS Transformers IV: Black Horizon from Devil's Due Publishing splits up the story in two parts and makes way for the movie continuity to run free later this year.
Walk the hitman's talk with Paul Jenkins, David Wohl and Stejpan Sejic taking the route of the first and third person adaptation of the game in
The Darkness: Level 1. From Top Cow, they shoot things back to that first day of Jackie becoming one with The Darkness. And Justin Hawkins is still not with the group.
Five foot prints (or four or three depending on the source) from Antarctic Press with Rod Espinosa and Lee Duhig show up on
DinoWars: Jurassic War Of The Worlds. It's Earth today where dinosaurs of the past that hit a ride for space as the planet went into an ice age freeze lock down, return. Time to reclaim a dinosaur friendly home for their own.
War is hell and with zombies, it's the
'68. Mark Kidwell, Nat Jones and Jay Fotos hit on the Viet Nam conflict with them flesh biters and brain eaters. Image Comics looks to use only one bullet with this.

Scarface, Tony Montana - Al Pacino bobble head
Scarface all set with nice set of choppers
Tony Montana from Scarface imparts some sage advice: "What'd I try to tell you? In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women."
Simple power dynamics. Move up from one echelon to another and the results will open up more doors. For the socially conscious, all this stops dead behind teeth and a smile enough to make a crocodile eat a small child in halves.
Nice and pearly white, like a set of PKs or Juicy Fruits, a set of good healthy teeth goes a long way. More so than just as a good turn on the second hand market for pure enamel made dentures.
Nothing can hide the shine that comes from a broad smile flashing more than those men hanging in the park in trench coats.
"Say hello to my little friend"
