The Deep, by Nick Cutter

Nick Cutter, who is being hailed as the latest "Next big thing in Horror" might seem to be a relatively new name in the genre (His first novel, The Troop, was released in 2013), but horror fans may know him better under a variety of other names, including the pseudonym Patrick Lestewka (The name he rose to small-press prominence under in the early 2000's), and his real name, Craig Davidson. I was blown away by Davidson's creepy and bizarre 2010 novel Sarah Court, and buzz over 2013's The Troop was loud and overwhelmingly positive, so I was fairly excited to have a chance to read his latest, The Deep.

Superman Unchained Deluxe Edition

 DC does another of their famous "Supergroup" books, where a team of "Hot" creators are given an extended arc with a major character, and get to do whatever they want. (See also BATMAN: HUSH, SUPERMAN: FOR TOMORROW, etc.) This time it's Scott Snyder and Jim Lee on SUPERMAN UNCHAINED.

Sooo...how did they do?

Murder As A Fine Art, by David Morrell

Perhaps best known as the creator of Rambo, his writing career has defied all genres and classifications, running the gamut from action/adventure to horror to thriller. His latest, MURDER AS A FINE ART, finds him tackling a historical thriller, and doing so masterfully.

 Hands down, the weirdest comic I've read in 2015.
