Let\u2019s take a quick look to see what\u2019s arrived in the mail here at the Geek Compound. <\/p>\n

Resurrection: The Insurgent Edition<\/span><\/a> by Marc Guggenheim (writer) and Dave Dumeer &amp; Douglas Dabbs (artists)<\/span> <\/p>\n

Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThere is life on other planets. They invaded ours. Pillaging Earth for a decade. Then they vanished without explanation.<\/p>\n

THE END WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING…<\/p>\n

The science fiction saga that explores the aftermath of Earth’s most brutal conflict starts here! For ten years the alien invaders have laid waste to our planet, but now they’ve vanished, leaving the surviviors with two questions–"Where did the ‘bugs’ go?" and "Where does humanity go from here?"<\/p>\n

It’s big existential questions, edge-of-your-seat alien-fueled intrigue, and epic thrills in this collection of the original seven installments of Resurrection<\/span>! (Includes issues 1-6, plus the 2008 Annual.)<\/p>\n

Resurrection: The Insurgent Edition[i] collects all of the black-and-white [i]Resurrection<\/span> material in conjunction with the launch of the new full color ongoing series that’s now in development as a major motion picture with Universal Studios. Created by noted writer and producer Marc Guggenheim (TV’s Eli Stone<\/span>, Marvel’s Amazing Spider-Man<\/span>) and featuring moody art from newcomers David Dumeer and Douglas Dabbs, this book picks up where all the other alien invasion stories end.<\/p>\n

At only $6 for 184 pages of quality story and art, this book is a fantastic deal and should be on the shelf of every sf comics fan.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Wonderland with Love: Danish Comics in the Third Millennium<\/span><\/a> Edited by Steffen P. Maarup<\/span><\/p>\n

Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n

Edgy comics from the country of Lars von Trier and The Raveonettes. In all the excitement over manga from Japan and bandes dessin\u00e9es from France, it\u2019s easy to forget that other countries have a thriving comics culture all their own. This eye-popping anthology, assembled by Danish publisher\/editor\/ translator Steffen P. Maarup, introduces adventurous readers to 19 exciting talents, most of whom are taking their first bow on the English-speaking stage.<\/p>\n

One centerpiece of the book is Nikoline Werdelin\u2019s stunning \u201cBecause I Love You So Much,\u201d a Doonesbury<\/span>-style slice-of-life daily strip about a suburban Danish couple who discover their daughter is being molested\u2014is it happening at her daycare center, or, horrifyingly, closer to home? Other major revelations include Julie Nord\u2019s elegantly drawn \u201cFrom Wonderland With Love\u201d (which gives the collection its title), a modernistic riff on Alice in Wonderland, and Ib Kjeldsmark\u2019s \u201cSloth,\u201d a riotously punk-inflected day-glo duo-toned road trip.<\/p>\n

The book also spotlights the snarky and surreal single-panel work and gags by HuskMitNavn, Christoffer Zieler, and Johan F. Krarup; the visually explosive silent comics of M\u00e5rd\u00f8n Smet and Peter Kielland; cover artist T. Thorhauge\u2019s spectacular philosophical piece \u201cM\u201d; and many other stories in a wide variety of styles from the sinister black and white Lynchian surrealism of Simon Bukhave\u2019s wooden robot story \u201cAll that I Hold in My Hand\u201d to the watercolored animal-fable extravaganza \u201cTomb of the Rabbit King\u201d by Allan Haverholm, from S\u00f8ren Mosdal and Jacob \u00d8rsted\u2019s meticulously delineated and colored nightmare yarn \u201cDog God\u201d to Zven Balslev\u2019s slashing, black and white, Panter-esque \u201cCadarul Zombie.\u201d And more! 66 pages full-color, 110 pages b&amp;w.<\/p>\n
