The Adventures of Basil and Moebius Volume 3: Secret of the Ancients by Ryan Schifrin, Larry Hama

Basil and Moebius are trying to find a way to end the curse the Collector has forced on them.  They have to do his bidding or end up as the Undead, but they want to be free to live their own lives.  It seems they might have a chance, so they giving it their all.  They'll need to...

Diamond Book Distributors and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published January 16th.

I have read this entire series and I enjoy it.  The graphics are eye catching and colorful.  There are beautiful women, monsters, warriors of all sorts and the boy's gadgets.  It's like a comic James Bond adventure.  This issue is the most exciting yet.

Trying to find the last piece of info they need to be free turns out to be a disaster.  They are captured by even more of the monsters from the past.  Even the supposed allies have an enemy within.  They don't know who to trust.  And they may have killed the wrong monster.  But it's an action packed, fast moving story that kept me reading until the end.  

There will be more in this series.  I wonder who has survived besides the bad boys of the series.  I bet we find out in the next edition.

The Adventures of Basil and Moebius Volume 2 The Shadow Gambit by Ryan Schifrin

Basil and Moebius are a real kickass team and the Collector is sending them on a new quest.  He forgets to mention that the woman they are competing with is another ancient one (monster alien being).  Their lives could be very, very short...

Magnetic Press and Net Galley allowed me to read this graphic novel for review (thank you).  It will be published July 28th, so you'll be able to grab a copy then.

I read and enjoyed the first installment in this series so I was looking forward to more action scenes and magnificent saves from this duo.  I was not disappointed.

They begin by saving a beautiful woman from a man who has kidnapped her.  She's so grateful she wants to reward them with a kiss and a hug, but they just jump out of the boat and send her on her way.  Minus her necklace, of course.  That was what they were really saving...

When they get settled on the beach with drinks in hand and sexy young girls hanging about, they begin to relax.  It's no go, the collector wants them back again to send them on another mission.  This one is really down and dirty and they have multiple enemies looking for them.  It's a good thing they have some good mercenary friends to help them.

This was an exciting story, the graphics are excellent, and it seems this deadly duo can accomplish most anything.  The only worry I have is just what the Collector has in mind...
