Kickstart the Week: Beat L.A. and Godsend

The always talented Gary Phillips is the mastermind behind a new collection that tells two pulp-noir tales of beat cops in downtown Los Angeles in Beat L.A. With gorgeous art and a slightly more light-hearted style than some of Phillips’ writing, this looks like a great book by some solid talents.

Godsend is one of the prettiest—and craziest—webcomics currently available to read today. Now they have a print edition in the works for the first time. This book should look amazing in print, so why not help them out and pre-order? This one is already funded, but helping out and getting a great book is always a plus.

About Nick Ahlhelm

Nicholas Ahlhelm has let his love for superheroes as a concept pretty much overwhelm his good sense. A fan of super-powered prose fiction since he discovered Wild Cards at twelve. Since then, he has expanded his reading and viewing to cover superheroes through every means he can find, whether comics, prose fiction, movies, television, or transmedia sources. In the mean time, he regular maintains three fiction-producing website publications: Metahuman Press, Pulp Empire, and The Dead Walk Again. At the same time, he writes the weekly web comic Arc with artist Jay Rainford-Nash, published every Tuesday. (Other comic works are in various stages of production.) He lives in Eastern Iowa with his wife and two daughters, in an increasingly small house.
