If anyone else is hungover from last night's company Christmas party, please raise your hand. Only me? Ah well, it's all good. I may have landed myself on the naughty list for my ill advised shenanigans with the xerox machine but I'm still chock full of holiday cheer!...
Superman, the world's greatest superhero. Without Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's creation all of us may have lived crummy lives. Other powered beings have appeared in literature throughout the ages but Superman was a fucking rock star. Creating the model which all our...
"I like weird and wacky!" No, this isn't the password to get into the fetish club downtown. Ahem... I think. Rather, It's a statement that tends to be uttered at least once by every fan of the Silver Age. It's also remarkably true. The majority of stories...
Halloween is here! Can't say I'm much of the celebrating type considering my childhood was spent decked out in flammable plastic...and handing out candy to other kids. All dressed up with nowhere to go. Thanks Mom, for making an 8 year old man the door. Don't feel...

Southern Bastards #17 Image Comics Writer: Jason Aaron Art and Color: Jason Latour "GUT CHECK" Part Three It's been a long wait for fans of the "football murder comic" Southern Bastards. The last issue was published in January. I for one, have been patiently waiting...

I fucking love Jaws. Enough so that I open up this column using a cuss when describing one of my favorite movie franchises. When I stumbled upon this issue of Ghost Rider #16 and saw the tease on the cover, I had to check it out. As I write this we are smack...
Who doesn't have a soft spot for Marvel's hero made of rock? I'm talking of course about the Thing. Since 1961, Ben Grimm has been one of the cornerstones at the House of Ideas as a member of the Fantastic Four. Personally, in my younger years I was enthralled with...
While it doesn't happen often, sometimes a cover grabs me. It's so enticing that I can't resist getting a little giddy to see what's inside. Metamorpho #4 dated Jan-Feb. 1966 is exactly what the Doctor ordered. It's colorful, action packed and takes you on an...
No thanks, I don't like to chatting with awesome people about stuff I love.
