“I dropped acid at the Sagrada Familia, which was a trip to say the least.” – Victor Johnson, The Rules of Attraction
Cosmic Scoundrels #1 is a wheels-off space adventure that has no real endgame except to infiltrate the serious comic readers mind, and force feed them a tab of comic relief calamity. Thank Mongo Prime for levity in comics. Continue reading

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

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

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
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
