Dynamite’s Savage Tales #1 Sold Out
It looks like Dynamite’s “Savage Tales” #1, and “Raise the Dead” #1, were both fairly popular and both sold out! I just picked up “Savage Tales” #1, but havn’t yet had a chance to check it out. When I do, I’ll let you all know what I thought.
Did you all remember Free Comic Book Day last Saturday? I forgot to post a reminder about it here, but I hope you’ll all forgive me… all 2 readers out there. 
Check out more details about “Savage Tales” and “Raise the Dead” over at CBR.com.

I forgive you because I didn’t forget despite your forgetting to remind me.
I got 4 free comics and my niece did too.
I picked up Savage Tales #1 the week before its alright. Not sure it’ll be a must purchase in perpetuity.

So I finally read Savage Tales #1. I have to say it wasn’t as good as I had hoped. The Red Sonja tale just didn’t intrigue me one bit.
The Atlantean tale seems like its trying to rush through a setup for some story that’ll probably be trying to tell too much in too short of a period.
The Hunter story seems a bit more interesting, and I’m actually intrigued to see how it turns out.
As for the main reason I picked it up (and no it wasn’t the cover
), The Elder Thing story stretches a bit beyond what I would normally want in a Lovecraftian story. Its somewhat interesting, and I’ll probably pick up the next 2 to see where it and the Hunter stories go, but I’m a bit worried about the divergence from Lovecraft’s Mythos history. That and I kept having flashbacks of the movie AI for some reason…
I think it’d be a little better if they could put a few more pages into the Savage Tales to let the stories be just a tad longer per issue, or maybe only have 3 stories per issue.
I’ll probably pick up the next two issues to see how the stories go, and also a few more copies of Raise the Dead and The Arm of Darkness versus Reanimator. Maybe I’ll write a bit about those two later.

I feel the same way.
In other comics readings. I’ve been reading through the Dark Horse Conan tpbs of late and really appreciating the faithfulness found there.

Oh yeah! I completely forgot about those. I was meaning on picking some up but it completely slipped my mind. I tend to have too much going on at once, most of the time.
