SEX - DEATH - LIVE TV! NEW YORK CITY, 1951
The star of beloved daily television serial “Satellite Sam” turns up dead in a flophouse filled with dirty secrets. The police think it was death by natural causes but his son knows there was something more? if only he could sober up long enough to do something about it. This noir mystery shot through with sex and violence exposes the seedy underbelly of the golden age of television.
Shane’s Picks of the Week (8/07/13)
- PICK OF THE WEEK: Deadpool Kills Deadpool #2- I love the cover on this, and I unabashedly love deadpool, so there.
- The Superior Foes of Spider-Man #2 - The first issue was great. It had that sardonic tone that has made Hawkeye so popular while still feeling like something fresh. Highly recommended.
- Satellite Sam #2 - First off, I have a huge mancrush on Matt Fraction, so of course SatSam is on my list. Second off, this book seems like nothing I’ve ever read before. If Mad Men were a comic book but about TV and had more lace and murder?
- Sheltered #2 - I love the “Pre-Apocalyptic” concept and the first issue ended on a really exciting note.
Shane is the marketing assistant at comiXology and is apparently a huge fan of #2 issues.
