Sunday Digest 02/06/14: Trees #1, Brass Sun #1 and Knuckleheads #6
This weekends must read digital comics in the Sunday Digest include Warren Ellis’ new eco apocalypse series Trees from Image Comics, Ian Edginton and INJ Culbard’s clock punk fairytale Brass Sun from 2000 AD and the latest instalment of slacker superhero series Knuckleheads from MonkeyBrain Comics.
Trees #1 (Image Comics)
Warren Ellis’ new creator owned series Trees features invading alien monoliths, ecological armageddon and a dystopian police state attacking its people with drone strikes all within the first half a dozen pages – in other words it’s classic Ellis! The invading aliens are the titular trees, gigantic rune cover monoliths that tip the balance of the planets Eco system with scant regard for mankind and civilisation by planting themselve in major cities and spewing out toxic sap. There’s a more than subtle nod to classic sci-fi like 2001 or Day of The Triffids in Tress along with an almost Gaian feel thrown in for good measure as the trees feel like earth rebelling against its hostile invaders despite them being from outer space! The brilliant inversion of the ‘man as Eco terrorist and planet destroyer’ story is the true stand out though with this first issue focusing mainly on world building, introducing us to the trees and the world they are destroying, but inevitably there is also a sub plot that sees scientists investigating a mysterious black flower and its links to the trees as a possible way to get rid of them. Ellis’ script is as packed full of dystopian detail and bleak techno message as you would expect, while artist Jason Howard does a superb job of realising this fantastic world which Ellis has created. For fans of it’s dystopian sci fi (and Ellis’ work in particular) it is an absolute must read with Ellis on fantastic form sowing the seeds for a another stunning series. And for everyone else, be sure to check this out as it is set to be another modern classic and guaranteed to be on a lot of best of lists at the end of the year.
Purchase Tress #1 from the Image Comics Digital Store for £1.99/$2.99
Brass Sun #1 (2000 AD/ Rebellion Publishing)
At the heart of Ian Edginton and INJ Culbard’s clockpunk fairy tale is the Orrery a clockwork universe where the sun is slowing dying. On one of the planets that revolves around it is our heroine, Wren, lives with her uncle (a retired bishop), whose observations about the universe put him at odds the established order of tyrannical cog worshipping bishops who run the world. As Wren escapes the bishop’s clutches and sets about helping to put things right she travels to the centre of the Orrery and meets a mysterious band of monks who maintain the worlds. Published by UK Comics stalwarts 2000 AD this is a fantastic example of classical story telling and epic world building that reads more like a piece of classic literature than a comic book from the company behind Judge Dredd and co. With its plucky female protagonist it reads like the books of Phillip Pullman and with Culbard’s sublime European infused art it creates a very special mix of timeless story and beautiful imager that feels truly unique in the world of comics right now. If you aren’t convinced then just check out the opening spread of the clockwork universe in all it’s glory and if that doesn’t make you want to read on then nothing will!
You can purchase Brass Sun #1 as a digital download from the 2000 AD Online Store for £2.49
Knuckleheads #6 (MonkeyBrain Comics)
Hot on the heels of their epic victory against a rampaging monster last issue, it’s time for our favourite slacker superhero Trevor K Trevinski to put in some training time and master the cosmic powers gifted to him by the crystal fist in the latest instalment of Brian Winkeler and Robert Wilson IV’s slacker superhero series Knuckleheads from MonkeyBrain Comics. Packed full of in-jokes and pop culture references that take in everything from superheros, to hipsters to afternoon specials and lassie, it’s a another rip roaring gag packed episode of this most unconventional of superhero tales. (There’s also a superb cover homage to fellow MonkeyBrainer Gabe Hardman’s Kinski.) While other post-modern superhero stories focus on the gritty angst side of their hero, Winkeler and Wilson focus on the pure absurdity of it all, and with the clueless nature of Trevor and co they create a perfect antidote to those other angsty superhero who are looking to find deeper meaning in the fight between good and evil. With a big time twist at the end that looks set to take the Knucklefriends on exciting new adventures, Knuckleheads is without doubt our favourite MonkeyBrain title of the moment.

Parq Casino offers 75 table games like blackjack, roulette,
and baccarat, 600+ slot machines, and daily poker tournaments.
This casino has over 1,300 slot machines on offer, along with 34 table games and eight electronic tables.
Because they either are located in converted tracks, and/or don’t offer live table games,
most of these casinos won’t resemble the traditional casino most of us are
familiar with. Adelaide Casino has more than 100 gaming
tables at last count and close to 1000 pokies, making
it the premier gambling venue and only place to play games such as blackjack,
roulette and baccarat in the state. The casino lets
you play at over 25,000 square feet of gaming space featuring 250 gaming machines and 18 table and poker games.
The casino part of the complex includes 880 slot machines,
a shiny new 33 table poker room, and electronic versions of blackjack
and roulette.
Alternatively you can practice different games at online casinos in Australia.
Be sure to ask for a player’s card when you first arrive, then use it to track
all your slot and pokies play; most casinos offer generous discounts and even free rooms to players who give them
some action! Martin’s been analyzing online casinos globally since 2007.

mega benefits available for the most loyal players like access
