Blood on teeth usually says one of two things. Gum infections with the gum line bleeding up and all over the chompers. Or of a hearty meal, of meat. The kind that is on the tastier side of medium. Closer to rare on burning your steak, the redder and juicer the slab of dead animal. Go with medium-rare to medium when out eating meat at a restaurant. It's usually where the taste is. Go with well done, that's where last weeks' meat comes from.

Deacon McKay has left the NYPD to become the new deputy sheriff in Willow Creek -- a small town in northern California known mainly for its Bigfoot sightings. But after a series of murders turns Willow Creek upside down, Deacon starts to uncover a horrifying secret -- the legend of Bigfoot, something the town uses to bring in the tourist trade, is actually a cover story for a horrible evil.

Don't miss the beginning of the series that's bringing werewolves back with a serious vengeance.
Willow Creek #0 (of 5) from Zenescope

Other comics to eyeball this week

Soulfire expands a little more with Aspen Showcase: Grace by Vince Hernandez and Sana Takeda. As the title suggests, it's not about Aspen, but of Grace. Or as the title would otherwise then suggest, of Grace, and not of Aspen. However it reads, look for it on the shelves, it's ready to wet.

What time is it? Is Zorro on? Rub with shorts of the fox in Tales of Zorro. Edited by Richard Dean Starr with stories from the likes of Max Allen Collins, Peter David and A.C. Crispin, anthology series of the one they translate as fox in Spanish. Do foreign animals speak to each other with accents?

With a name like Locke & Key, it's probably a comic about someone with the name of Locke and a whole lotta doors. From Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez, it's about a dark mansion with a massive fringe combed over its facade and looks to render people walking through its doors. Like going to the carwash without a car.

Exoskeleton related trade of the week

Might be many of you already watching "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" from torrents. For those fans of the Terminator universe, hark back to a massive slab collection of the comics that came before that show, that came after the movies and well before the second sequel with the Terminatrix.

Transformers Timeslines Summer Special Just a question, do you know what happens when you lick cold metal in a chilly air?

Trade of the week

Eddie Edison works two jobs. One is to schlep pizzas about the place while the other is being a Sidekick. There is pain, there is gain, there is much to the funny and sucker punch. Like a swift kick to the groin perhaps? With saucy mustard onions on the side? Yes.

 

One thing to come out of the upcoming Transformers movie directed by Michael Bay is all the left over shards of metal from the faces and chassis - that's odd looking for a plural - from the look and style of the Transformers of the cartoon and comics. They sure do look different to their counterparts, ever so drastically. Ah, but an Autobot or Decepticon will leak motor fluid all the same no matter what the plastic surgeon will have them think of the mirror.

Before allegiance, rank and function—before war—a civilian will become a warrior, a warrior will become a leader. As a leader he will learn of the most powerful weapon on the planet—a weapon powerful enough to bind legions to his will—a faction named DECEPTICON.

This landmark story brings the major players of the faction together for the first time in a seminal story for MEGATRON, the DECEPTICONS, and THE GREAT WAR.

Ben Avery and Mike S. Miller adapt George R.R. Martin's Hedge Knight: Sworn Sword. Following up from the first, it's like the flavour of the sensation as the sequels aren't all out there on the big movie screens. Six slices of the fantasy pie.

The Old Witch is back for more Tales from the Crypt. Rob Vollmar, Marc Bilgrey, Jim Salicrup, Tim Smith III, Mr. Exes and Rick Parker bring the corpses back after 50 years and the rotting flesh is just slopping on the counter top. Smell it.

Back it up a crack, Alan Martin and Ashley Wood crank a shank with Tank Girl: The Gifting. New look and yet the haphazard jump around style of old in four.

Brian Pulido and Gabriel Guzman are ringside on the battle of the barely there costumed heriones with Lady Death vs Pandora. Kick, push.

Kurt Busiek, Jeph Loeb, Moritat, Stuart Immonen and Ian Churchill slam it down on the TV line catching Elephantmen - The Pilot. Snap a shot at one in the can and the door needs paper hinges.

When walking through a pitch dark cave, it'd be a good idea to be in there with a light of some sort. And, when there is a mine to be excavated, a little birdy for the ride. Most often a canary. If it's a gonna, there's gas about.

And the last thing you need is to step into a gassy area with a torch that doesn't need batteries.

Witches all across the world seek out Hellboy, but this time, they're not just after revenge.

The long-awaited follow-up to 2005's The Island, the six-issue miniseries Darkness Calls sees Mike Mignola pushing his greatest creation, Hellboy, toward the next major turning point in his life, with haunting art by Duncan Fegredo (Enigma, Ultimate Adventures).

Hellboy: Darkness Calls #1 (of 6) from Dark Horse Comics

Milk and cookies theatre as the house gets classy with Marvel Illustrated: Last of the Mohicans. Adapting James Fenimore Cooper's novel, Roy Thomas, Steven Kurth and Denis Medri disappears between the encroaching civilization of one world dominating and wiping out another.

While back in black, right here, in the Sensational Spider-Man Annual it's with Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca taking a back track. Found a zit on the inside of the finger tip. Ow, does it ever hurt.

Pretty much child's play as Chucky goes a hacking and a slashing courtesy of being around Brian Pulido and Josh Medors. Andy Barclay, first to encounter the maniac doll, better run for his entrails.

35 is another age and Michael Avon Oeming and Ron Adrian squeeze it up some in Giant Size Red Sonja. Old mix in with the colours of the new and it's a massive load of Sonja to behold.

Evil, evil, evil, oh, but that's just in degrees of cheese fellow line walkers. Watch on as Christopher E. Long and Chee take in a few kids in Ward of the State only to churn them out as killing machines later on by their foster mother. Way to go The System!

The warrior princess who looks and talks like a Kiwi took a dirt nap at the end of the show. Dark Xena by John Layman and Noah Salonga bring up the fact that Gabrielle better watch out how she puts in her request to bring back Xena. Like asking for extra time off from a place you've never worked?

The Winchesters get all pen and inked in Supernatural: Origins with Peter Johnson, Matthew Dow Smith, Geoff Johns and Phil Hester kicking some hide on the folklore and urban legend side. Before the show, before the hunt, and shortly after the flames of mother Mary on the ceiling.

 

Put on a show and lick them lips, there's more to the gloss than sheer anticipation.

And so it may very well be the case, that the fleshy gates ahead of the teeth will greet many into the world of the tongue, the uvula and the oesophagus. They being food items and other such items of drink to pass through of course.

Be a generous and good looking host; keep the lips looking nice and clean like the carpet runners people walk across in order to find the back wall. Or just make do in the illusion of.

Lip balm and gloss - Flavour country never tasted so berrylicious. Or bananalicious. Or whateverlicious it happens to be at the counter. Thin layer of lip balm is good for the look of health and great tasting too.

Raging red lipstick - Throw in a dazzle as the curve of the colour blinds all unsuspecting of what ever cracked landscape may lie underneath. Taste varies wildly and more often than not, a bit tougher to stain away from the teeth.

Spit and saliva - Too cheap to buy gloss and too much of a non-lipsticker to apply the ruby? Constantly licking the lips, as in perhaps preparation for fried chicken, will suffice for most in keeping the kissers whistling moist.
