When we Kiwis find something we like, we say it's 'Sweet as'. From the extension of their 2000AD range to the countdown to G.I.Joe #200, when I'm looking at the best and new releases from IDW Publishing for December 2013, these comics make the 'Sweet As' grade:
COVER OF THE MONTH: CHOGRIN MUNOZ POPEYE CLASSICS #17
Chogrin's work looks like one of those old army spot colour posters - just a lot more fun!
IDW say: More great Popeye goodness! A very funny "Popeye and King Blozo's Problem," then something fascinating and unusual, a story with no Popeye but a character that rarely gets his due stars in "Ham Gravy and his Indian Friend.” And if that isn’t weird enough, a story about BUGS! Not as in bunny - ladybugs, spiders, and beetles, oh my… fighting a tiger! Plus more!

THE NEWBIES
RICHARD STARK'S PARKER: SLAYGROUND #1
(W and A) Darwyn Cooke
Darwyn Cooke's multi award-winning series of Parker graphic novels continues! Parker, whose car crashes after a heist, eludes capture by breaking into a closed amusement park. Seen by a pair of cops who decide to go into business for themselves, the scene quickly becomes a game of cat and mouse… a game that slowly starts to favor the mouse.
INDESTRUCTIBLE #1 (of 4)
(W) Jeff Kline (A) Javi Garron and Salvi Garcia
The debut of David Wohl’s Darby Pop imprint! Meet Greg Pincus - the planet’s newest Superhero. One problem: Greg is neither super, nor particularly heroic. But, he sure enjoys the perks. Can he survive a celebrity-obsessed world that wrongly believes he’s indestructible?
SINISTER DEXTER #1 (of 7)
(W) Dan Abnett (A) Andy Clarke
The smash-hit 2000AD sci-fi series arrives! The first tale sees Finn and Ramone crash an adult movie set for a target who is happier to see them than they expected! Second, the duo are hired to take out a weapons retailer. But is their mystery employer out for more than control of the heavy-duty killware?
THE ILLEGITIMATES #1 (of 6)
(W) Taran Killam (SNL) and Marc Andreyko (A) Kevin Sharpe
Jack Steele: global super-spy, lover of ladies, man-slut. But who will take his place? Olympus scrambles to find not one, but five newbie agents to fill the void and save the world - The Illegitimates!
DEADWORLD: RESTORATION #1 (of 4)
(W) Gary Reed (A) Sami Makkonen
The lepers have been slaughtered, the breeder pit escapees head for New Washington, and the zombies are under Donna's control, a half-human/half-zombie hybrid. Or are they?
