It Came From The Long Box:...

All of us have done something we’ve regretted. A bad hair cut right before school photos. Owning an album by C&C Music Factory. Proclaiming New Coke better than old Coke. Me? I own the entire Deathmate mini series from Valiant Comics and Image Comics. Let me set the stage for you. It...

The Li’l Depressed Boy #7 Nov02

The Li’l Depressed B...

The seventh issue of S. Steven Struble and Sina Grace's series about the li'l depressed boy named LDB hit store shelves last week. The story chronicles a down-on-his-luck boy who's thrown from one emotional extreme to the next, which is something I think we all know too well.

Liefeld and The Double Sta...

I kind of sat on this one for a little bit; surprisingly no one really wrote much about it. Rob Liefeld was prompted on twitter to explain the status of his Kirkman penned Killraven series which lead to a back and forth between Liefeld and Marvel Editor Tom Brevoort. The end of the fight...

The Annual 42 Comic-Con International was held in San Diego, California, July 20 – 25. The weekend ended with a bang as Cowboys and Aliens premiered, Hugh Jackman made a special appearance, and Arkham City was released to the masses for a little preview. Twitter was full of information....

What If… (vol 1)

Being a writer, I love the idea of “What if”. Okay not so much the comic book series…not that What If was terrible mind you, I’m speaking more of the question What If as opposed to the comic book What If. …okay, now I’m sort of confusing myself…. maybe...

Review: The Li’l Depressed Boy #4 May24

Review: The Li’l Dep...

Fairly often it seems some books fly too far under the radar to be noticed. In the last week I stumbled onto such a book. The Li'l Depressed Boy is a story about a boy who's alone within himself, penned by S. Steven Struble. After getting caught up on the previous three issues, I took a look at issue four. What were my thoughts? Forward!

Walking Dead on TV (and wh...

So as more and more news about the walking dead TV show starts to dribble out, I’m hoping more and more that it’ll succeed. It’s got a great director in Frank Darabont stewarding the project, it’s lined up a pretty interesting leading man in Andrew Lincoln, and I hope as more and more...

Animated Films: "Ther...

Well I got an email or two about the animation article I wrote last week. The gist of one or two of them that 1) I’m awesome and 2) How come I didn’t talk about comic companies other then Marvel and DC. To be honest, it did cross my mind, you get kind of a glimpse when I mention...

Just A Thought: Brent Unit...

Okay I promise after this column I’ll try not to throw back to the 90′s so much. But alas for this week, the 90′s are an important aspect to the book I looked at so they’ll be referenced a fair amount. The comic in question is Image United. As I have previously...
