Casanova: Gula or Bear With Me As I Talk About Comics and Emotions

I’m going to do something weird here, so bear with me. Ok, ready to indulge me? Of course you are! I’m not going to start with the beginning, or with the most recent volume. Today, we’re talking about Casanova: Gula, the second of three volumes of Matt Fraction, Gabriel Ba and Fabion Moon’s Casanova series.Continue reading “Casanova: Gula or Bear With Me As I Talk About Comics and Emotions”

The First Comics I Read

The first comic book I ever read was an issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures. I was likely in Kindergarden or first grade. While at my parents’ friends house for dinner, I’m guessing my folks mentioned that I was into the Ninja Turtles toys and cartoon. So their friend showed off a Teenage MutantContinue reading “The First Comics I Read”

Shut Up, Batman! You’re Not My Dad!

  I know, I know. I still need to review Saga 4 & 5 for real since a TON of people seem to be clicking on my “ha-ha, boobs!” post in the hopes that someone, somewhere, is talking about that amazing book. Today’s post is for all y’all who saw The Dark Knight Rises, orContinue reading “Shut Up, Batman! You’re Not My Dad!”

Kevin Smith Funded A Movie With His Collection, I Got Fifty Bucks

My title is bitter, but I’m not. Maybe a little wistful? Definitely rambly. This is a rambly, introspective-y post about my comic collection and how I sold it. Moving makes you appreciate how little space you have. It also, in my case, made me appreciate how friggin heavy comic books are. Especially when you haveContinue reading “Kevin Smith Funded A Movie With His Collection, I Got Fifty Bucks”

Some People Call Me A Ghost Cowboy…

…some call me a werewolf of loooove. Some people call me Maur- Sorry. When I get bad jokes or bad writing in my head, I get it out. But I don’t get it out and delete it, nope, I share it with y’all. This is yet another horror comic recommendation, and FYI, I am totallyContinue reading “Some People Call Me A Ghost Cowboy…”

Saga: Issues 4-5…Oh, wait…no, a distraction

I was all set to tell y’all about Saga issues 4-5 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples, but then, a few pages into issue 4… Double page sex planet spread! (Haha…sex planet…spread…) Then I was ready to buck up. To be mature. To be an adult. Then I honed in on this panel.  Continue reading “Saga: Issues 4-5…Oh, wait…no, a distraction”

Life Is Lame So Let Me Eat Your Brain, AKA More Horror Recommendations

Soundtrack for today’s post: “Zombie Graveyard Party” by Be Your Own Pet, a song which quotes the first, if not the second as well, Return of the Living Dead film. Both films DO feature actor Thom Matthews as a zombie trying to pressure his girlfriend into letting him eat her brains (IT’S A METAPHOR). ButContinue reading “Life Is Lame So Let Me Eat Your Brain, AKA More Horror Recommendations”

Tales From The Crypt: Horror Comic Recommendations

I have not actually ever read a Tales From The Crypt comic. I should. I’d like to. Hey! Hey Future Paul! If you’re reading this, IN THE FUTURE, do one of two things: 1) Read Tales From The Crypt OR 2) Travel back in time, and force yourself to read Tales From The Crypt priorContinue reading “Tales From The Crypt: Horror Comic Recommendations”

(Insert reference to teen rebellion song), Runaways by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona

Being a teenager sucks. SUCKS. You’re always getting punched in the face…it’s rough. Plus girls suck, or if you’re a girl, guys suck, or if you’re a gay guy, guys suck, or if you’re a lesbian, girls suck. Stuff sucks in general. Plus no one understands you and you’re a unique snowflake and all that.Continue reading “(Insert reference to teen rebellion song), Runaways by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona”
