…and the Maggi Republic helped! We pitched in enough to get the Blu-Rays plus I wanted the stretch goals, no wait, add-ons of thumb drives of Crow and Tom. Having had the great luck to meet Joel Hodgson a couple … Continue reading

Neat, odd and great crossover comics

I’m back on a roll about the comic books I’ve been reading lately. I guess I’ll just have to accept that the time, inspiration and energy will happen at irregular intervals. A while back I plugged a weird, obscure crossover … Continue reading

Chris Sarandon

Wiz World Austin wasn’t a complete bust this year. Sure it was only over two days. Sure Peter Weller bailed with three days to go (his VIP package was Somara’s birthday present). Sure all the major vendors skipped because it’s … Continue reading

Crimson Peak: Worth Seeing

Somara won last week’s coin toss since the choices were this or Bridge of Spies plus I wanted her to come to my spy flick, therefore sitting through Horror is the compromise in marriage. Crimson Peak was a pleasant surprise given how the … Continue reading

RIP Christopher Lee

The consummate villain for sixty years and Ian Fleming’s cousin to boot! I had the good (or bad) fortune to see his work in the Hammer films as a kid. For some reason, WCIA-3 in Champaign, IL would have a … Continue reading

For when Mickeythulhu awakens from his slumber under Anaheim, well just says it isn’t going to be pretty. My sensei and friend Lester here wearing a little gift I threw his away via TeeFury. He digs horror plus I gave … Continue reading

Last week was the “reading” and signing event with Max Brooks. You probably know him as the author of World War Z. To me he’s also the super talented son of comedy legend Mel Brooks and actress extraordinaire Anne Bancroft. Super … Continue reading

Yeesh! I haven’t written a decent story covering any actual comic books in almost two years. Well I’m trying to get back on track with one of the oddest crossover mini-series to hit the shelves since Predator v. Magnus Robot Fighter. … Continue reading

My rebuttal to an overshared picture or “selfie”

I’m with Brian Posehn when he said last week that foodie is just a douche term, I would say it’s the same for selfie. I’m sure they’re all nice people in person but I couldn’t give two shits about the Oscars®. The … Continue reading

New podcasts I’m hooked on #2

Before I give a ranting endorsement I urge you to first, support your local comic book and/or game store by finding out if they do their own podcast. Not everyone can drop by every week like I can to chew … Continue reading

Happy Belated birthday to Lester

I didn’t forget this year, I was swamped by other crap in my life which prevented me from posting in advance or on time. We have had a nice exchange by e-mail, getting his address right (again, I screwed upon … Continue reading
