Fraction and Ferry’s Thor Looks AWESOME!
I’ve been a fan of Pasqual Ferry’s art since I came across it through he and Andy Diggle’s Adam Strange mini-series. It was bold and beautiful and filled with dynamic pages. Seriously – every single panel looked like it could…

Diary of a Comic Book Goddess: TCAF Panel #2 – Manga Censorship

Brand new Banksy pieces spotted in Toronto. (Possibly Here for TCAF?)
Not comic related, per se, but still pretty cool. Famed graffiti street artists Banksy is a fairly dynamic figure – known as much for his secret identity and air of mysteriousness as his beautifully subversive street murals. Three new pieces…

This morning, I had the opportunity to sit in on a panel on that aligned comics production to any product manufactured on an assembly line. That is, where parts are added to a product – usually in some kind of…
TCAF | Day One
TCAF is one of the those exciting comic book experiences that don’t come along as often as they should. A celebration of pretty much everything under the umbrella of comic art. It can be pretty overwhelming when you walk into…

Iron Man seems the obvious theme this week. Make sure you check out the Iron Man 2 movie, and then jump on the net and buy up a bunch of old Iron Man comic books!
Dobby To Play Arnim Zola!
You’ll know Toby Jones from his work in INFAMOUS as Truman Capote, his turn as Karl Rove in Oliver Stone’s W or as Olly, the likable clerk from Frank Darabont’s THE MIST. He’s a great actor and has a great…
For Rent: Tim and Daisy's Apartment From Spaced
I guess they’re called flats in the UK, but the premise remains: you can live in the apartment/flat from Spaced, the great British TV show that introduced many to Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, Jessica Stevenson and Nick Frost. Pegg tweeted…
