Devil’s Due Comics Doubles Down On Politics With Talk Bernie To Me

Devil’s Due Comics Doubles Down On Politics With Talk Bernie To Me

After the buzzworthy announcement of a superhero comic about Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Devil’s Due Comics is doubling down with a new special called Talk Bernie to Me. This new one-shot celebrates two-time Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and includes a bonus AOCstory. In addition to a bunch of short-form Bernie comics, the special has some Trump and GOP skewering, satirical…

Is a good adventure story worth risking your life? Let's leave you to decide from a list of beautiful tourist attractions in Africa that can actually kill you.

You wouldn't believe it, but Africa is home to some of the most dangerous attractions in the world. It is best to be careful when visiting these sites.

Dangerous tourist attractions are guilty pleasures, especially for adrenaline junkies. It's all fun and games though, until someone gets hurt. These destinations will excite and terrify you!

1. Devil's Pool at Victoria's Falls, Zambia

They don't call it the Devil's Pool for no reason! This naturally formed rock pool is located at the very edge of the majestic Victoria Falls on the Zambia side (the other side of the falls is in Zimbabwe). Some tourists are daring enough to swim in it. Some go even further and dangle their legs off the side. Swimming can only take place between September and December when a natural rock barrier forms, but it is still extremely dangerous. Several people have plunged to their death from the Devil's Pool, including one famous tour guide, who managed to save one of his charges who had started to fall. Unfortunately, he slipped during the rescue and lost his own life instead. You can marvel at the beauty of Victoria Falls without risking your life, so why not do that?

2. Lake Natron, Tanzania

 Most people who visit Lake Natron in Tanzania can barely believe their eyes - it's almost totally pink! Home to matching pink flamingos, it's obvious why so many people want to see this amazing salt and soda lake for themselves. But it's not all pretty in pink - Lake Natron has an unusually high alkaline content and a pH level of 10.5, which is the same as ammonia. To put it simply, Lake Natron will burn the skin off humans and most animals.In addition to the whole skin burning thing, temperatures around the lake can reach a whopping 60 degrees Celsius (140 Fahrenheit). Basically, the only thing that can survive here are the flamingos. The lake is made up of both hydrogen and sulfide, so most animals will die as soon as they touch its waters. And yes, that includes human travelers, too!

3. Danakil desrt, Ethopia

 Stretching from north eastern Ethiopia to southern parts of Eritrea, the Danakil Desert is one of the most dangerous places you could ever visit. So dangerous, in fact, that it's well known as 'Hell on Earth'. This salt wasteland is exactly the kind of place we should be avoiding, but of course, nothing of the sort is happening. Tourists are still showing up to experience the blazing hot temperatures and risking their lives in the process. Active volcanos, gassy geysers, a lack of oxygen, and temperatures of around 120 degrees Fahrenheit are all the things you can look forward to if you decide to visit 'Hell on Earth'. If you manage to survive all of this, there are also the hostile rebels to look out for. Basically, don't go here if you value your life.

4. Zambezi River, Zambia

 Long considered one of the most extreme locations for whitewater rafting in the world, the Zambezi River is not one to take lightly. The stones and trenches that often leave boats unturned are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the dangers you'll face. Each section of rapids has its own name, which you might think is cute until you hear what they're called. Would you raft anywhere named 'Devil's Toilet Bowl', 'Boiling Pot', 'Gnashing Jaws of Death' or 'Overland Truck Eater'? If not, then you can give Zambezi a miss.In addition to all this, you've also got the river's natives to worry about - crocodiles and hippos are common in the Zambezi, and they're not exactly considered friendly locals. We know we won't be able to hold any adrenalin junkies back, but at least you have all the facts now!

5. Erta Ale Volcano, Ethopia

Would you really want to visit somewhere that the locals refer to as the 'Gateway to Hell'? Erta Ale Volcano is just one of the terrifying features within the Danakil Desert in Ethiopia. At more than 2000 feet high and 120 degrees Fahrenheit, Erta Ale is one hot spot you don't want to visit. It's one of the few active volcanoes in the world, but it's the only volcano in the world with two active lava lakes, making it one of a kind. It's no surprise that people want to view this phenomenon for themselves, but it does come with risks. It's so dangerous due to the heat (and lava!) that the only way to view it is by helicopter. So, as you can imagine, this is an activity for those of us with plenty of cash to spare!

6. Lake Kivu, Rwanda And Democratic Republic Of The Congo

Situated on the border of both Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lake Kivu is one of Africa's largest and most important lakes. 'Majestic' seems like an understatement when you're trying to find the words to describe it. But tales of swimmers being swallowed whole and dead fish mysteriously appearing on the surface give us a different picture of what lies beneath. Lake Kivu has fascinated scientists in every field due to the methane gas trapped in its depths. If the gas is ever released, it would spell untold disaster for everyone and everything in the vicinity. All it would take is one volcanic eruption to pop this lake like a bottle of champagne, which exactly why the experts refer to this possibility as the 'champagne effect'. We'd advise steering clear if you value your life.

7. Lake Nyos, Cameroon

We're not sure why all of the killer lakes of the world seem to be located in Africa, but here's another one to add to the list. Lake Nyos in Cameroon, West Africa, contains a large amount of carbon dioxide within its depths. For many years, no harm was done, until 1986 when the carbon dioxide exploded upwards. This caused a huge carbon dioxide 'cloud' to form and it resulted in extreme destruction and death. The cloud traveled downhill and effectively suffocated 1,700 people and many more animals. Basically, nothing survived for 15 miles. Today, things aren't as precarious as they once were, as pipes exist to siphon the carbon dioxide from the lake. The risk still hasn't been completely eradicated, but for the most part it's considered safe. We still wouldn't be booking our flights in a hurry.

8. Tatouine, Tunisia

 This one is for all the Star Wars fans out there planning a visit to Tunisia. You may be familiar with Tatouine as the fictional village of Tatooine in George Lucas's Star Wars films. The Skywalker farm buildings were left there after filming and have since attracted thousands of Star Wars fans to the area. Unfortunately, it appears that the region is no longer safe for tourists to visit, so you may have to put your tour on hold for now. Recent terrorist activity in nearby Libya has made the area of Tatouine unstable, as it is in the path of traveling jihadists hoping to join infamous terrorist group, ISIS. Tourists have already perished in Tunisia, after an attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunis left 19 dead. Best to leave it until there's no further risk of attacks, we think.

9. Port Moresby, New Guinea

The port city of Port Moresby is located in the eastern part of New Guinea. It is the capital of the state and at the same time one of the most dangerous cities in the world. If you look at the city from a bird's-eye view, it won’t seem scary and dangerous. It is unlikely to return back from the port town, as the lower strata of the population consumes human flesh. A casual visitor can be killed with a natural purpose, just to provide food for locals and their families.

10. Andohahela National Park, Madagascar

The island of Madagascar houses Andohahela National Park that may be called one of the most beautiful places in the world. Rare endemic plants are growing there. The park territory is home to 12 species of lemurs, as well as more than 120 species of birds. Though a huge tourist attraction, it is now considered to be extremely dangerous. The reason for this is a high level of crime. Despite the high level of danger and inaccessibility of the reserve, every year it is visited by about 1 500 travelers.

TALES OF MR. RHEE: Those Who Fight Monsters is Dirk Manning’s latest series involving the enigmatic and tough as nails Mr. Michael Rhee as well as others from Dirk’s “Nightmare World” universe. Mr Rhee is a demon hunter of sorts, a “paranormal troubleshooter” if you will, but not one of the “chosen one” variety. This ain’t Buffy. I think this description from a review of the previous mini series sums him up nicely.

“Seems when Mr. Rhee was younger he got involved in some bad magic and wound up marked and stalked for life by a demon he summoned. Does he curl up in a little ball? When the rapture/invasion occurs does he run and hide? No he treads through the post-rapture world helping where he can, though as they say if you need his help it’s probably already too late. This is a great character who’s been placed in some really rough situations. The plots Manning pens are sometimes horrifying, often hopeless, but his hero soldiers on. Admittedly when I first started reading (with no prior knowledge of the character and his world) I found myself scoffing at his resolve. How could anyone keep going through these adventures? But after I learned his background, and whether you read the collected volume one or the first issue of this new mini series you will get enough background, I realized that this was a seriously damaged and seriously repentant man. I don’t want to spoil this story for you but suffice to say his “teacher” in the dark arts was scum, and the things Michael went through in his care are truly horrifying.”

When we meet him in the current series we’re in a post Rapture world, some folks are handling it some not so much. Michael was up to his eyeballs in it and wound up committed to an insane asylum for his trouble. Normally that would’ve been a life sentence but for the help of a woman. A woman from a shadowy group who, like Michael, gets involved in all sorts of other-worldly business.

Now Michael needs to know if her organization, P.R.O.M.I.S.E., is trustworthy and he’s turning to an old friend for help. Mr Rhee’s life is never simple though and who knows what this intelligence gathering mission will unveil.

I’ve reviewed Dirk’s work before and it’s always a pleasure to read his stuff. It’s extremely well plotted, well paced, and the characters all feel real and solid, with personalities that stick from issue to issue. The art on this series comes from a few very talented individuals, issue one Alessandro de Fornasari, Marianna Pescosta, issue two Seth Damoose, and on issue 3 Austin McKinley, but even with all those different artists characters stay recognizable and true to form. Getting to visit Mr Rhee’s world of demons and normals, and the battles fought by, for, and around them is always a treat. Go check it out and see if you don’t get hooked!

Issue one of TALES OF MR. RHEE: Those Who Fight Monsters is also available as a web comic at Devil’s Due Entertainment’s website! The digital release of all three issues, as well as previous series, are available at comixology.com right now!

Solitary – A review of issue #1 of the CW Cooke comic book!

I had the good fortune of chatting with CW Cooke last month about his upcoming project, Solitary. A comic book about a man who was undeservedly sentenced to death row. The twist is that this man is also a superhero and when he’s put in to the electric chair, everything changes for him. I received the first preview issue of this genre crossing story and thought I’d share my review with all of you.

“Penguinify” Your Comic Shop Contest Launches for Igloo Barbecue: Global Warming Party #1

Have Your Shop and Staff Drawn into Josh Blaylock’s New Industry Satire

Winner to Be Announced at ComicsPro Retailer Summit February 23rd by Devil’s Due

This April sees the release of Josh Blaylock’s Igloo Barbecue, a penguin-filled anthropomorphic comic book industry satire some are calling a cross between Bojack Horseman and Scott Pilgrim. A hilarious self-aware tale of “adulting” (poorly) in a world of comic pop culture while surrounded by too many feathered hipsters in the big city of Arctopolis.

  Igloo Barbecue: Global Warming Party is written and lllustrated by Blaylock, with story edits by Shawn DePasquale (co-creator of Galaxys for Hire, EIC of McCauley Caulkin humor blog Bunny Ears). Coming this April from Devil’s Due Comics.

The winning store and staff members will be “penguinified” (morphed into Antarctic versions of their human selves) in a back-up story in volume 1 written and illustrated by Blaylock, and given 25 signed copies of the issue and an original illustration of the penguin shop staff.

The star character, Blizzy Glacier, a professional comic artist (and penguin) feeling uncertain of his creative future, must choose to stick to his indie roots or take a risk and make a change. Previously released in 2017 as a convention-only exclusive, this one-shot special drops in comic shops this April, and is currently available for preorder in Diamond’s PREVIEWS (Diamond order # FEB181475 listed under Devil’s Due / 1First Comics).

Contestants may enter by submitting their store info at http://www.igloobbq.com – no purchase necessary to win. The deadline to enter is February 21st, with the winner to be announced February 23rd during the ComicsPro Retailer Summit in Portland, OR

This is a column that focuses on something or some things from the comic book sphere of influence that may not get the credit and recognition it deserves. Whether that’s a list of comic book movies, ongoing comics, or a set of stories featuring a certain character. The columns may take the form of a bullet pointed list, or a slightly longer thinkpiece – there’s really no formula for this other than whether the things being covered are Underrated in some way. This week: Comics not in Diamond’s top 100 sellers for April.

This week we’re going to be looking at a list of comics that are all fantastic, but don’t get the attention that they deserve. Now I’m not even going to pretend to have a definitively exhaustive list of underrated comics here, because we’re hoping  that you decide to check at least one of these series out next time you’re looking for something new either online or at your LCS, and giving you a huge list to check out would be counter productive to that. Instead, you’ll find four to six comics that are worth your attention that failed to crack the top 100 in sales. The only hard stipulation for this week: not one of the comics made it into the top 400 for April’s comic sales, according to Comichron, which is why they’re Underrated.

  God Complex #5 (Image) May Sales Rank/Units Sold: 270/4,719 Why You Should Read It: A science fiction themed reinvention of mythology? What’s not to love when it is packaged this well.

Bloodshot: Salvation #8 (Valiant) May Sales Rank/Units Sold: 202/8,171 Why You Should Read It: Valiant have some amazing series out right now, and this is one of the best. Jeff Lemire weaves a brutal tale of a man trying to move away from his violent past, but has no faith he’s good for anything but violence… Bloodshot Salvation is also one of the best looking books on the racks right now – each page could easily be framed and displayed proudly within your house.

Thanos #18 (Marvel) May Sales Rank/Units Sold: 192/9,014 Why You Should Read It: Because you’ve seen Avengers Infinity War and want more Thanos in your life. Plus Don Cates is a remarkable voice and one you should pay attention too.

Sex Criminals #23 (Image) May Sales Rank/Units Sold: 192/9,014 Why You Should Read It: As a late comer to this series, I can honestly tell you that it is a brilliantly hilarious, starkly emotional and remarkably ingenious series.

Shadowman #2 (Valiant) May Sales Rank/Units Sold: 165/11,738 Why You Should Read It: Because it’s awesome. 

Unless the comics industry ceases any and all publication look for a future installment of Underrated to cover more comics that aren’t cracking the top 100.

Underrated: Comics Not In Diamond's Top 100 For May '18 This is a column that focuses on something or some things from the comic book sphere of influence that may not get the credit and recognition it deserves.
