Review by Svetlana Fedotov After munching on the brains of horror entertainment for a solid few years, it seems that all things zombie and undead have finally burned off into the horror atmosphere. While Walking Dead may still be going strong, the hordes of movies, toys, and internet hot topics have switched their voracious appetite […]
By Svetlana Fedotov After a long wait through delays, notices, and wishing-upon-stars, the newest Goon mini-series has finally arrived on a pillow of stardust and dreams into the eager hands of fans across the world. Titled Occasion of Revenge, this newest addition features everyone’s favorite bad boy twosome, Goon and Frankie, as they stomp their […]
Review by Svetlana Fedotov Ah, The Goon. Everyone’s favorite tough-talking, hard-drinking, hobo-slapping, pair of thugs for hire, Goon and Frankie, have been delighting fans for ages with their hilarious hi-jinks and low-brow humor. A clever mix of noir, humor, and horror, Dark Horses premier bad-asses are once again back in the spotlight with another one […]
By Svetlana Fedotov If you don’t know who Richard Corben is, you need to go back and retake Horror Comics 101. Luckily for you, I wrote the curriculum on horror comics, so I’ll fill you in. Corben is an artist who first cut his teeth on old horror rags from the sixties and seventies. With […]
By Svetlana Fedotov The Disney Company has pretty much owned the word “princess” since Snow White burped onto the movie scene in 1937.

By Svetlana Fedotov Of all the evil creatures to grace the human imagination, none is more feared than those closest to humanity’s irrationality: other people.

If you’ve been a fan of Brutal as Hell’s comic coverage, you probably noticed that the usual author Comix has now been replaced by the hard-to-pronounce writer, Svetlana Fedotov. Well fear not, gentle reader, for it is I, Comix, […]
By Comix Movies are a tough business. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry has got a script to pitch, a vision to fulfill, and a stake in financing a flick that could either sink or swim depending on the tides of fandom. Also, lets say you do manage to get a studio, actors, production, effects, and […]
By Comix In Balkan folklore, a dhampir refers to a half human/half vampire creature that has all the powers of the bat undead without all that sunlight and garlic crap to ruins its fun. Traditionally believed to have unruly black hair and lack of shadow, they are most likely found creeping around human virgins looking […]
Review by Comix Nineties nostalgia is a huge right now. Hell, you can’t even walk down the street without some kid rocking a Power Rangers hoody while scooting around the Hammer dance and humming the theme song from the Rugrats, the whole time bouncing on moon shoes (or something , I don’t know).
