Chief Brody started to dig into the guts and blood with his scoop. Cigarette dangling, he hurled the soupy gook into the salty water. “Come on down and chum some of this (awkwardly dubbed) stuff.” (Thanks TBS) Continue reading

Review: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: Great White Whale Edition #1

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: Great White Whale Edition #1

Adaptation: Troy Little

(IDW-2016)

The top was down on the cherry red convertible as he raced across the nothing that was the desert west of Vegas. The dry air was running over him like a drug-addled ghost.  In 1971 this had been deemed a search for the “American Dream”, but Troy Little was on his own vison quest for truth.   Unlike the ’71 trek, psychological suicide was not Little’s means to enlightenment…art was.   Continue reading

Review: Robocop: Dead or Alive Vol. 2

(Boom! Studios 2016)

Writer- Joshua Williamson

Artist- Carlos Magno

Colorist- Marissa Louise

Letters- Ed Dukeshire

RoboCop is one of the quintessential ultra-violent 80’s action movies that a lot of us grew up on.  I quote it about as much as any other movie of its genre.  “Book him…he’s a cop killer.”, and you can’t forget, “The Tigers are playing… (drums the table) tonight! I never miss a game.”  Continue reading

Review: Dallas Comic-Con: Fan Days

The story you are about to read about Dallas Comic-Con: Fan Days is true.  The names have been changed to protect the innocent (not really).

It was a sunny morning in the Irving, TX Wal-Mart parking lot.  I was meeting my friend Rusty.  The day was sunny with a cool breeze coming in from the East.  Rusty was already there so we gave each other the normal limited speaking fist bump greeting, and proceeded into Wal-Mart to stock up on water, Red Bull, and sketch books.  All the essentials for the con we were about to attend.  The con starts at 10 o’clock, and we were already behind.  Rusty is on the camera today.  My name is Jonathan, and I’m here to observe.  This is our story. Continue reading
