Remember when you were a teenager and all you had in life was your books, your sarcasm, and crushingly low self-esteem about your soft torso? No? Come on, I can’t be the only one. Well, either way, they say it’s supposed to get better, that your school years are far from the best times of […]
What can I say about Jim Henson’s classic 1986 fantasy film Labyrinth that hasn’t already been said? No really, what can I say? Labyrinth is one of those movies that almost everyone has seen. Even if you haven’t seen it, you’ve heard about it, or at least about David Bowie’s outrageous bulge during Dance Magic […]
I have a theory that if you’re ever looking for a good comic, your best bet is to read anything written by an author who has worked on Swamp Thing. Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Mark Millar, Brian K. Vaughn, the list goes on and on. Every writer who has worked with the anthropomorphic pile of […]
You know how everyone has got a ‘must’ list? Must-watch horror movies, must-play video games, must-cook food of ancient Atlantis? Well, 100 Bullets is the epitome of must-read comics, side-by-side with such greats as Watchmen and The Sandman. A brilliant noir crime work written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Eduardo Risso, 100 Bullets starts […]
Anthony Bourdain is the coolest guy on the planet. He travels, he eats, and he tells Andrew Zimmern to shut up. He looks like what a good brandy tastes like. He’s what I imagine that bad-ass guy from the neighborhood grew up to be instead of peaking in high school and having a kid way […]
When we last left Judas Iscariot, he was burning in the pits of Hell for turning his back on Jesus. I’m sure you know the official story: Judas, one of the thirteen apostles of Jesus Christ, betrayed our Lord and Savior to the Romans and had him crucified for the sins of humankind. The comic […]
There are three things that are never supposed to be discussed in polite company: money, politics, and religion. But, when those three things make up the majority of a person’s life, when they shape the very soul and beliefs of a human being, how do you go about ignoring them entirely, especially when you have […]
There’s nothing cheesier than starting a conversation with the words “hey, do you remember the 90s?” But really, do you, 90s kids? Remember Rugrats, Gakk, getting slimed, or that spinning thing that twirled around your leg and counted how many times you jumped over it? What was the point of that thing? Anyway, as the […]
Most of us are too young to remember Silly Symphonies in its prime. Hell, most of our parents are too young remember it; but, much like Universal Monsters and WW2, we still seem to be talking about it. Silly Symphonies was a series of 75 Disney cartoons released between 1929 and 1939 focusing on combining […]
I gotta admit, when I first saw the title for Image’s newest vampire comic Dark Fang, I pictured a half-dressed, big-tittied vamp babe swinging a hatchet around and lamenting on being deathless or some garbage. Either that, or a comic about a fifteen year old going through some very rough puberty and bad fashion. Luckily, […]
There are very few independent comics that have survived to their 30 year mark like Usagi Yojimbo. In fact, I’m hard pressed to think of anything outside of Love and Rockets and Judge Dredd, which makes the samurai-laden, anthropomorphic action epic that is Usagi that much more special. That being said, I have the distinct […]
