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”

Reading Comics With My Pops

I told you I’d do this. I TOLD YOU! As a Father’s Day present, I presented my father with 2 graphic novels that he had never heard of and told him he’d have to write about them for this site. HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! Without further ado, I’ll let my Dad do some reviewing…he seems toContinue reading “Reading Comics With My Pops”

So, You Saw The Avengers Movie…

And totally thought Hawkeye was awesome, right? If that’s not your takeaway, well. Shut up. My mission statement for this blog has been to get some knowledge out there about some comics that are good. Part one of this has been to make y’all understand that comics and not entirely defined by superhero comics. I’veContinue reading “So, You Saw The Avengers Movie…”

Kirby Crackles with Kamandi!

I was tempted to type “Crackles” with a “K,” but then I’d be in a “Oops, my title spelled out KKK scenario,” and have to deal with all sorts of awkwardness. Phew, now that we’ve gotten through that potentially awkward hypothetical scenario, on to Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth by Jack Kirby. It’s aContinue reading “Kirby Crackles with Kamandi!”

Hey, You Should Read This!

So, Mai said: “Pauly, I really like 50s-60s Sci-Fi —  Isaac Asimov and Phillp K. Dick. What should I read?” (NOTE: she didn’t actually phrase it that way, but this is my site, so I will quote you as I see fit!) Now, I must admit to not having read anything by those authors. I didContinue reading “Hey, You Should Read This!”

Hey Paul, What Should I Read?

Some of you have been reading and liking these posts. Maybe you’re going to read the comics I’ve recommended, but maybe you really really (REALLY!) want a specific recommendation to your tastes. “Hey Paul, I like chicken tenders and hot dogs, and don’t like vegetables, which comic should I read?” Well, hypothetical reader, you soundContinue reading “Hey Paul, What Should I Read?”

Kickin’ Skulls Y’all

Today, we’re talking about Skullkickers by Jim Zubkavich and Edwin Huang. Yup, that’s right, Skullkickers. If that title, combined with the above image doesn’t fill you with some form of glee, go ahead and stop reading. If you scoffed…first off, HOW DARE YOU FOR SCOFFING, THERE WILL BE NO SCOFFING ON THIS BLOG! But ifContinue reading “Kickin’ Skulls Y’all”
