“So we fought them and some Draculas and Frankensteins too…” AKA Franken-Castle by Rick Remender and Tony Moore

Listen to “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah” (if you have Spotify) as you read this post: Jeff Richmond and Tracy Morgan – Werewolf Bar Mitzvah Those with keen eyes and sharp memories will note that this is not the first time (nor will it be the last) that I have referenced 30 Rock’s wonderful song “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah.”Continue reading ““So we fought them and some Draculas and Frankensteins too…” AKA Franken-Castle by Rick Remender and Tony Moore”

Awesome Comics Are Awesome: Comics I Bought, Week of 10/17/12

More Horror! Bongo Comics has been adding issues of Bart Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror to Comixology and I’ve been buying them. It’s interesting seeing The Simpsons in another medium, and honestly theses horror parodies are a better fit than a “normal” Simpsons comic book seems to be. It also helps that issue #13 which IContinue reading “Awesome Comics Are Awesome: Comics I Bought, Week of 10/17/12”

“Comic Con, I’m a Comic, Khan” – Unused Kanye West Lyric About Comic Books

So, I went to New York Comic Con this weekend, courtesy of my BFF’s (their word, not mine…I use full words like BEST FRIENDS 🙂 ::HUG:: ) Seth and Erin. Seth was in Germany, doing German things, so I accompanied his lovely fiancee and soon to be wife. This is her in front of “ArtistContinue reading ““Comic Con, I’m a Comic, Khan” – Unused Kanye West Lyric About Comic Books”

Captain America, Vampire Slayer

Vampire Week continues! Allow me a brief moment of wistful nostalgia if you will. You will? Oh, thank you, sir or madam! See, it used to be that you could buy comics ANYWHERE. Grocery stores, drug stores, stationary stores, toy stores, tire repair shops…okay, maybe not tire repair shops, but the point is, they weren’tContinue reading “Captain America, Vampire Slayer”

Tales of The Vampires (That do not sparkle or look mopey)

I hereby declare this…VAMPIRE WEEK! Yes, much like Shark Week, except Sharks haven’t been neutered by a series of crappy teen romance novels and films. During Vampire Week I will attempt to remind you that Vampires are great, mainly through comic books, but I will sprinkle in some references to great vamp literature, films, andContinue reading “Tales of The Vampires (That do not sparkle or look mopey)”

Everyone Dance To The Pumpkin Song

Remember when I said I would re-post previous horror comic recommendations in the build up to Halloween? I told the truth! I made so many recommendations! I talked about Locke & Key, American Vampire, maybe I mentioned some other stuff? I don’t know, go click over there and read it and come back. I know,Continue reading “Everyone Dance To The Pumpkin Song”

“Quote From Deadwood” – David Milch, Western Comic Recommendations

A reader requested more Western Comic Book recommendations. I’m honestly a little lacking in that area, but here goes: Scalped by Jason Aaron and R. M. Guéra. I’ve only read the first volume of this series, and it may be better to classify in as a modern western noir than a straight up western, but it’sContinue reading ““Quote From Deadwood” – David Milch, Western Comic Recommendations”

Folks Talkin’ Bout Comics 2 (Resisting Electric Boogaloo Joke): Transmetropolitan Volumes 3-4

This is something resembling a feature, “Folks Talkin Bout Comics,” where I’m joined by a friend via Google Chat to talk about a comic book that we both enjoy. Maybe it’ll entice you to read this comic, maybe not. In the case of Transmetropolitan, by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson, it’s a book that inspiresContinue reading “Folks Talkin’ Bout Comics 2 (Resisting Electric Boogaloo Joke): Transmetropolitan Volumes 3-4”

I Do Not Even Know How This Got Out The Door, Defenders #1-6

Seriously, this is one of those books that I can’t believe Marvel has published. I’m not trying to say that in a stuck up manner, but they’re a fairly conservative publisher when it comes to trying new or expiremental things and it’s just so…weird and fun. Credits! Defenders is written by Matt Fraction! I haveContinue reading “I Do Not Even Know How This Got Out The Door, Defenders #1-6”
