This post is entirely for digital or digital curious readers. I’ve been reading comic books digitally for about a year now. I’ve read a couple of print things here and there, but I love reading panel by panel. As far as my (fast) style of reading goes, it helps me linger and study each panelContinue reading “Buy Things With Your Moneys: Digital Comic Books”

It’s Christmas Time in Hollis, Queens
John McClane: “How about some Christmas music?” Argyle: “MAN, this IS Christmas music!” – John McTiernan’s Die Hard, 1988 There are few Christmas songs that are better than Run DMC’s “Christmas in Hollis.” There are few songs, period, that are better. Go ahead, play this track down as you read through this post (OR, playContinue reading “It’s Christmas Time in Hollis, Queens”
Things I Loved About Comics This Year Part 3: The Dead Walk!
Revival by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton When is a zombie story not a zombie story? Well, Riddler, when it’s a Rural Noir! (I seriously did not notice that it said “A rural noir” above the title of every issue until the latest one. But in all fairness, this issue is the pulpiest). Sexy lady?Continue reading “Things I Loved About Comics This Year Part 3: The Dead Walk!”
Things I Loved About Comics This Year Part Two: The Secret of The Ooze
Favorite comic books of the year post, PART 2! (I almost typed Part @ cause I held down the shift key. And you would have been yelling “Part AT what, Paul? Part at WHAAAAAT? So you’re welcome for me saving you from that agita). As is common in this Western culture of ours, weContinue reading “Things I Loved About Comics This Year Part Two: The Secret of The Ooze”
Things I Loved About Comics This Year Part One
Because I either won’t be able to limit myself to a Top 10 or have enough content to make it to Top 10! Also, why be like everyone else, when I can be a quirky variation on everyone else instead? Ha-HA! Merry Christmas you old building and loan! Hawkeye I think I’ve stressed howContinue reading “Things I Loved About Comics This Year Part One”
Violently Dismantling The Super Hero Genre: The Boys by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson
Spoiler AND content alert. The following comic series I am about to tell you to read is NOT recommended for anyone who gets offended. Not just easily offended, but offended. PERIOD. There are no boundaries in this series, and I had to take a few breaks in reading it as it was published the pastContinue reading “Violently Dismantling The Super Hero Genre: The Boys by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson”
Buy Someone A Comic For The Holidays This Year
This is probably the angriest Holiday Gift Guide you’ll read this year. I’m leaving ugly full URLs up cause I’m in a “people are stupid and won’t understand what to click through” mood. The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard: I heard “The Walking Dead was a comic book first!?!? tooContinue reading “Buy Someone A Comic For The Holidays This Year”
Not, NOW! Then! Not THEN, Now! (Oh, and Hawkeye is still awesome)
Marvel NOW! Well. It’s maybe slightly better than DC’s New 52 as far as stupid marketing names go, but it’s mostly a stupid marketing name that’s been slapped on a number of good comics. Last year, DC Comics relaunched their entire superhero line by canceling every title it was publishing, and launching 52 series startingContinue reading “Not, NOW! Then! Not THEN, Now! (Oh, and Hawkeye is still awesome)”
Comics You Should Be Thankful For: Sandman by Neil Gaiman and Mike Dringenberg
I meant to get this out pre-Halloween, but I was all weird sorts of crazy-pants during the time home from work during the hurricane. Basically I accomplished nothing. I went to an amazing wedding, but in terms of feeling like I did something towards my goal of becoming a working writer? No, I did notContinue reading “Comics You Should Be Thankful For: Sandman by Neil Gaiman and Mike Dringenberg”
“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”
