Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer
A re-imagining of classic Pinocchio from SLG Publishing.

Five scans out of a 128 page story. The art in this selection isn't really representative of the rest of it, except for the cover. I actually really liked it after a while. It just fits.

And next a scan from Dark Reign - The List - Wolverine, where Marvel Boy proves that he likes to live dangerously.

By keeping a light-nunchaku down his pants.

Also I wanted to include some scans from the Perhapanauts Annual, that's available for downloading from the official site, but since my Acrobat reader apparently can't save pages out of the file I'll just have to link you.

	Wolverine's team-ups have reached such a level that they can't be contained in a single universe anymore? Heh, no, actually that's Fantomex. Or Weapon XIII. Another one of the never ending legions of characters to have come from Wolverine's backstory. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Please tell me at some point Pinocchio kills a vampire with his nose? At least Marvel Boy has the sense to make the energy part of his light-nunchaku the string/chain part and not the handles. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	And where did he keep the light nunchacku? From that image it's like he pulled it out of ... oh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Nunchacku" means "Hammer" in Kree, oddly enough... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Please tell me at some point Pinocchio kills a vampire with his nose? Oh, he does. These intro pages are quite an accurate recounting of the start of Collodi's novel. But they're a sort of flashback, and the art style changes significantly later in the book. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Well I got it in my head to read the original this year and I say that it is much better than any adaptation so I'm glad that they are useing it. (Reply to this)

	Marvel Boy has a laser-energised removable double-dong? Words fail! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No wonder Karla was so interested. For a minute. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yikes. That doesn't look like a Marvel Boy. (Reply to this)

	All of this was lovely. I especially like the art on the last page (except that Marvel Boy looks a bit too old). (Reply to this)

	I wish SLG still published Gargoyles. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer" I saw this and knew that I had no choice but to read this post. (Reply to this)

	Darn, I was hoping this was going to be a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer storyline. (Reply to this)

	Pinocchio Abridged? (Reply to this)

	The Pinocchio comic was fantastic, and Wolverine: The List was a really good tribute to the Morrison-era of early 2000's X-Men. Enjoyed both immensely. (Reply to this)

	The Pinocchio part is classic - except for the fact that, for reasons best known to itself, my computer wouldn't let me load the second page of it. Still, the rest is great. (Reply to this)
