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!

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”
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)”
