By Comix and Spooky Sean 2012 has been an amazing year for the comic book industry. Avengers and Batman broke box-office records, comic-con attendance is at an all time high, and everywhere you look, new comics are popping up by the barrelful! But it wasn’t just a good time for superhero comics, but all genre […]
Review by Comix Werewolves have been a staple of human folklore for as long as their been a reason to fear the dark. Even the wise and reasonable Greeks had their own version of the lycanthropes in the form of the Neuri tribe, who once a year, were believed to change into wolves and terrorize […]
Review by Comix “War is Hell.” This particular sentiment has been muttered by every soldier who has survived the horrors of battle; every man that delved deep into the pit of patriotism and swam back up covered in blood. But what happens when the actions of one man on the war front literally brings Hell […]
Review by Ben Bussey Short stories have quite a role in horror history, don’t they? While often the format is regarded perhaps a little dismissively as simply an entry point into the field for fledgling wordsmiths, for many writers they’re an end unto themselves. Plenty of the horror masters have done some of their best and most […]
Review by Comix Berserk can really be described in one word, and maybe a lot of swear words: Fucking-BRUTAL-fuck-shit-up-wow! With the flowing, epic styling of a good dark fantasy series, this comic is a seriously crazy masterpiece sure to leave fans of both horror and comics on the edge of their seats. I’ve been covering […]
Review by Comix “This book has no comics in it!” That is what I immediately said when I first picked up the works of Zothique by Clark Ashton Smith, but I swallowed my disgust at what proved to be one hell of a read. I was instantly assaulted with worlds and places beyond my mere […]
by Comix Cartoons are awesome. There, I said it, I said what we’re all thinking! Cartoons are freaking awesome, especially the cartoons these days. With such sweet, bodacious shows like Adventure Time, Regular Show, and The Amazing World of Gumball, it’s no wonder I can’t peel myself away from the TV long enough to eat […]
Review by Keri O’Shea Ingrid Pitt seemed to live several lives in her seventy-three years; with regards her career, she’s of course best known for her roles in classic horror cinema like Hammer’s Countess Dracula and The Wicker Man, but she was also an accomplished writer. Her ‘Bedside Companion for Vampire Lovers’ was no second-rate […]
Review by Comix Have you ever thought to yourself, ‘I wonder what the Japanese equivalent of A Serbian Film is?’ Well wonder no more, my friends, because your fearless comic reviewer has braved the wilderness of the bizarre and grotesque to bring you a comic work of unbridled fucked-uppiness called Ultra-Gash Inferno. I’m going to […]
Review by Keri O’Shea Since cinema’s earliest inception, the presence of the Devil has been ubiquitous – whether Old Scratch appears as a monstrous entity or a cunning outsider, a gentleman magician or a horned miscreant, the silver screen has never been long without him. That is the central thesis of author Nikolas Schreck’s far-reaching […]
Review by Keri O’Shea ‘Suddenly, it was obvious we had lost our way and been unwillingly lured into a world where our artistic talents had been bought out by corporations wanting to sell stuff, and we were going to get old and die miserably, having never made that film that had sparked our youthful passion […]
