  • Anthrax’s ‘Among The Living’ Coming to a Comic Shop Near You!!

    Anthrax’s 1987’s thrash metal epic ‘Among the Living’ was always one of my favorite albums of the genre! I used to listen to it all the time back then and it was the soundtrack to many skateboarding sessions I’d have with my friends. I even had the Among the Living t-shirt with Judge Dredd on…

  • ‘Curse of the Wendigo’ Delivers the Chills!

    The wendigo folklore is always intrigues me, I love most anything that has to do with the legend. I was pleasantly surprised when I recently picked up “The Curse of the Wendigo” which had completely gone under my radar when it was released here in the USA in 2011. What drew me in even more…

  • Awesome Hero Initiative / Walking Dead #100 Cover by Local Chris Herndon!

    Had to take a second to give a shout out to Portland Oregon’s own Chris Herndon today as I just saw for the first time some artwork he did for The Hero Initiative 100 Project for The Walking Dead.

This one is called “A Creature Was Stirring” and it’s based on the idea of the legendary Krampus who comes to collect naughty kids on Christmas eve, following Santa’s orders. Things have run smoothly through time…

  • The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 1988!

    I missed this April Fool’s prank the first time around but being a huge fan of the series this pic had me quite confused and elated when I saw it yesterday! I just knew it was too good or bad to be true! But hey Alan Moore made a racy pornographic comic book with Dorthy…

  • Daniel Clowes Delivers Another Dose of Awkward…

    I sat up late recently and read the latest Daniel Clowes graphic novel “Mister Wonderful” in one sitting which quite honestly isn’t that hard to do. Mister Wonderful is a sweet little awkward tale and pretty much exactly what you may already be expecting from Mr. Clowes. It follows the simple story of middle aged…
