"Not Reading Debuts" ( https://piratebayproxy.live/tag/Not+Reading+Debuts ) are part of the https://piratebayproxy.live/tag/Not+Reading project, and contain all first issues published and/or released during a given month that made an uploader's personal cut. The month being August 2014 and the uploader being me in this case, obviously. This instalment contains the following current debuts: Bodies #1 - Vertigo - Crime / Dystopian / Historical Dark Ages #1 - Dark Horse - Historical / Horror / Sci-Fi Deep Gravity #1 - Dark Horse - Disaster / Dystopian / Sci-Fi Low #1 - Image - Adventure / Disaster / Fantasy Mayflower #1 - Indie - Crime / Dystopian / Sci-Fi Sally of the Wasteland #1 - Titan - Dystopian / Pulp / Sci-Fi Six new titles this time, coming from an unusually broad range of publishers, which includes Titan Comics for the first time, in terms of my "Debuts" torrents. Additionally, I included two past debuts as bonuses, "Raven Nevermore" (Indie), because the author recently took the highly unusual step of posting in a filesharing forum - not, as one might expect, to complain, but to ask for constructive criticism (see kickass dot to/community/show/84252 ), and "Where Is Jake Ellis" (Image), the sequel to "Who Is Jake Ellis" ( https://piratebayproxy.live/torrent/8945369 ), which recently emerged from a year-and-a-half-long hiatus.

As the title phrase was meant to suggest, the selection is a bit on the dark side of the medium this time 'round: Each entry deserved one or more of the "Disaster", "Dystopian", or "Horror" tags. So, don't read these when you want to be cheered up, unless you're the type who gets cheered up by seeing fictional characters suffer. Do read this when you're in the mood for top-notch sci-fi, which is the other heavily represented genre among 'em! :)
Sad stories have always been more realistic to me than the hero punching his way to a happy ending. Thanks for putting together such an interesting torrent, gesserit.

My pleasure! :)
Mind you, I'm sure some of these titles will have a happy ending when you get to the last issue - but at the end of the first one, the characters are all well up a certain proverbial creek (also an actual one, in the case of "Sally", heh), with the lucky ones having merely lost their paddle, while the less lucky ones are being loomed over by someone about to smash their heads in with said implement. :D

Start reading some Archie comics, gesserit. But not the ones where he gets his face eaten off!

Heyyy, STF!
What did you think of the latest "Rachel Rising" issue with the "Kill Me Zoe" cameo?
STFmaryville at 2014-09-03 18:44 CET:
good stuff, i'm enjoying the new(-ish) storyline. i'm still unsure if i should love zoe or want her to get caught for making random acts of violence so much fun! how did you like it?
gesserit at 2014-09-03 22:55 CET:
Eh, I totally think of Zoe as one of the good guys now. Killing Malus was a major turning point for the character, for me - not so much that act itself, but how she's been portrayed since. Before, she had a definite creepy vibe going on, but since, she's just... endearingly odd? The truce with the monster dog, "I'm being car-jacked by Zombies!", "NOBODY HURTS MY FRIENDS AND LIVES!", no way can I think of her as even slightly villainous after those!
I'm mentally filing her in the same category as Frank Miller's "Deadly Little" Miho and Mark Millar's "Hit-Girl" Mindy now, I think. Whatever she does, no matter how objectively indefensible, gets re-interpreted as either bad-ass or comic relief. Man, I'm so easily manipulated! :P
Definitely liking the new storyline, too. It looks like it's going to be a bit grittier and down-to-Earth than the high-concept supernatural backstory of the first arc, and - somewhat surprisingly - that seems to work even better with the established cast.
Oh, and make sure to read https://piratebayproxy.live/torrent/10710178 , if you haven't already. Without giving too much away, let's just say that Terry Moore was in a very cameo-esque mood last month... :D
