Making yourself an asset to your employer is usually a good thing. Unless you are Joe Thursday, and you work for the Dream Police. That just might make you a slave to justice…dream justice. Besides Joe Thursday being a day short of being Joe Friday, he doesn’t seem to have trouble holding his own in the sleeping world of the Dreamscape. But because of this, it has him in the dangerous position of being the best Dream Policeman on the force. Continue reading

I’m past the “spoiler reveal”. If you don’t want to know what happens, it’s pretty easy to avoid a spoiler for a day or two, and for the most part, even if I get a spoiler, I’m so far behind in film and television watching that I’ll forget it by the time I actually consume the media. That being said, and much to the detriment of what I do on this site…
I highly recommend that you not read this review. The Rattler, by Jason McNamara and Greg Hinkle, is best consumed without any knowledge of it’s contents. Continue reading

There are not enough Western comics in my opinion. Each and every time I see one I get a little excited. Even when something is described as having “western” as it’s narrative base, that’s pretty much enough for me. I always jump on a new western title. Black Jack Ketchum #1 was no different.
