FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS IS BACK!


Since I'm no longer hiatizing, then that means it's time around these parts once more for that weekly beatdown showcase which has taken the Comics Blogosphereiverse by storm!

Tonight's four-color free-for-all is from GEMINI BLOOD #4, by Christopher Hinz and Tommy Lee Edwards. In this scene, two members of the Paratwa-killing team, Gillian and Laura, find themselves in a battle against some of the Shraddhan, augmented cannibals who spend a great deal of their existence living upside down and descending to prey upon normal humans- and they're some of the more conventional of Hinz's creations. You don't even want me to get started on the whole Paratwa concept...but I heartily encourage you to pick these comics up if you ever find them in the quarter boxes. This is a good little brawl by Edwards, early in his comics career. I wish I could find a good webpage which details Hinz's concepts; they're difficult to explain quickly and easily. They're using "flash daggers" and "cohe (stands for "coherent light") wands", by the way...

BAHLACTUS SAID KNOCK YOU OUT!
