Agents of Atlas by Evan "Doc" Shaner

ITEM! Remember how I told you that Agents of Atlas was the best book Marvel was currently putting out, and how you didn’t believe me? Well, you should take my word for it, because you’re missing out on a secret agent super gorilla in a disco lounge suit.

But I know we’re in the midst of a financial crisis. Why should you gamble your hard-earned buck on this comic? Well, luckily for you, Marvel has three Agents of Atlas stories available for free at their website!

ITEM! Danger: Diabolik! fan / comics legend Stephen Bissette kindly linked to our post about Ennio Morricone’s “Deep Deep Down” yesterday. More importantly, this linkage came in the midst of a massive post about the theme, the film, and fumetti, with the highlight being Steve’s commentary for the Paramount DVD (above), and the notes he made to prepare for that commentary.

ITEM! In case you’re interested in other European espionage comics, agent David @ Permission to Kill has just uncovered a treasure trove of Fantomas, Espia 13, and James Bond…

ITEM! The following advertisement for a new Sadistik fumetti & comic, with an accompanying animated web series, as well as a documentary to debut at this year’s San Diego Comicon was emailed to me last week by the folks at Comic Fix:
