Kevin Colden Still Rules the Night

If you haven't been keeping up with Eisner-nominated Kevin Colden's Zuda comic, "I Rule the Night," here's what you've been missing:



It's a weird companion piece to Morrison's "Batman" run, and as of page 29, I have no idea where it's headed next. But it is good, indeed.

Now, Get that Corpse Out of the Trunk and Come to Dinner

Fishtown's Kevin Colden has landed an "instant winner" on Zuda Comics, which means that there's no voting, there's no stuffing the ballot boxes, there's no spamming everyone on MySpace. His "I Rule the Night" will appear week in, week out, on zudacomics.com, and guess what? It's good.

It's a deranged take on a post-Bruce Wayne Batman kind of mythos, with the names changed to protect the innocent (and guilty). It's superheroics the way Kevin Colden sees superheroics, which is not all that heroic (though still kinda super).

It's only eight pages so far, but it's a nice start to a series that I'll be sure to check out every Thursday.
