One of the highlights of this collection is the art of Steve Ditko. This is a volume devoted to classic Charlton Comics stories from the 1950s and 1960s - most probably written by Joe Gill - that have a peaceful message to deliver. They begin with the latest collection from Craig Yoe, The Unknown Anti-War Comics(IDW Publications/Yoe Books).

This is actually a work that its writer alerted the guys to, and they're glad that he did. After that they look at the first three issues of Scratcher, John Wald and Juan Romera's self-published horror title that takes place at a tattoo parlor. But there are other manifestations of Brubaker and Phillips' world that are imbedded within. In the new series' first issue, the protagonist is one familiar to Criminal enthusiasts, Teeg Lawless. One of those is most recent incarnation of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips's Criminal(Image Comics).
And although Derek and Sterg spend the vast majority of their time discussing this anthology - there's a lot to take in - they also look at two other titles.
Although all of the contributions in this issue are intriguing, some of the most notable that the guys discuss are those by Eroyn Franklin, Walker Tate, DRT, Ana Galvañ, DW, Maggie Umber, and especially Walt Holcombe. As the guys point out, they're dedicated to discussing every issue of Nowthat is released, and this one is chock-full of comicy goodness. They begin with Now#5, the latest in Fantagraphics' outstanding comics anthology series.
