OGN (P)REVIEW- "RECKLESS VOL 1" by Ed Brubaker + Sean Phillips

My man Michael Lagocki recommended RECKLESS Volume 1 the period detective thriller by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, because he knows I dig 80's detective jawns like Spencer For Hire.  In RECKLESS, we follow a washed-up FBI spook who takes on cases that catch his interest.

Felipe Smith tagged GhettoManga in this drawing of  Master Yoda rocking his Eazy-E style, so I'm thinking he wanted me to show it to you guys.  Here's a brief exchange with Felipe, another fan, and Gabriel Luna, who plays Robbie Reyes/Ghost Rider on Agents of Shield.

 This post is guaranteed to move you fam!  I got updates for you courtesy of the Operative Network from their Egyptian demigod superhero webcomic Menthu, which features a cameo by New Jersey's favorite son, Redman... sorta.  Also, do the knowledge with that dude Pythagoras in Irrational Numbers...

Police Brutality. Peaceful Protest ignored. Gang Truce. it's not CNN, it's the new GENIUS TPB from @TopCow!

When Top Cow dropped this inventive action thriller written by Marc Bernardin & Adam Freeman and Illustrated by Afua Richardson last summer, they couldn't have known how much police brutality, urban protests movements, gang truces, and violent uprisings would dominate the media for the next year. But even if it's coincidental, that doesn't make GENIUS any less timely now that the trade paperback is in stores.

"Black Dynamite and Boondocks were great but it's time to leave Earth..." @LeSeanThomas

I got a dm last night from the mighty LeSean Thomas confirming that production has officially started (in Japan, of course) on his hip hop flavored action-adventure animated series Cannon Busters.

Preview ALL NEW GHOST RIDER #4

Felipe Smith and Tradd Moore continue to hold it down like oppression in this latest preview of Marvel's street-racing inspired relaunch of Ghost Rider.

Here's a bunch of art by @JimMahfood, because I said so...

You know I friggin' LOVE Jim Mahfood's art, right? Course you do! So I don't need an excuse to post a ton of his art on GhettoManga do I? Hell nawl I don't. So when I came across  a shitload of fresh FOOD ONE jawnts in my Facebook feed, you already know this was bound to happen...

Real Deal Comix: "More Rage per Page, More Slaughter for Your Dollar"

Every now and then, someone sends me an email or something complaining about the name GhettoManga, usually suggesting that in creating a magazine and blog with Ghetto in the name I am holding black people back or otherwise sullying our collective image. Since they have probably never bothered to read GhettoManga, they are probably assuming that its contents are more like what you would find in any issue of the long-running ultra-violent underground comix magazine Real Deal...

Preview art- ALL NEW GHOST RIDER #1 & 2!!!

We've been getting a mixed reaction to Marvel's impending release All-New Ghost Rider by Felipe Smith and Tradd Moore, ranging from "Muscle car instead of motor cycle: No bueno" to "fugg yeah." Peep some previews of Tradd Moore's pages (plus variant covers by Felipe Smith, Skottie Young, and more) below and make up your own mind...

Here's an itinerary (that's just a list of places and dates, fools) and some more art below...
