Did you know there are books with no pictures or word balloons? Written by real people for other real people to read? Sometimes they don’t even have cyborgs or time travel or any of the other 49 shades of grey? Crazy, right?!
Reviews
Comics and Guitar (A gritty reboot)
StandardWhat do a man that dresses like a bat, a clown prince, chickens, a mantis, and a spider have in common?
It’s New To Me: Omega: The Unknown #1
StandardI’m going to start a new series for the blog here, for now called It’s New To Me, where I will take a look at older comics I’ve missed out on, somehow never got around to, or just found out about. Or maybe I’ve had them for awhile and didn’t get to them in a Timely Fashion (was that a Marvel joke? Was that a joke?) so let’s kick things off with something I’ve heard a lot about Omega: The Unknown. Strap on your sideburns, hang your coke-spoon necklaces in your thickly matted chest-muff, and lets travel back to the 1970’s when the D-double-E-J-A-Y’s didn’t have to wear headphones to be on the radio (I’m looking at you Dr. Johnny Fever) and people hadn’t started throwing doughnuts at Anne Wilson from Heart yet.
BCWYWF #1
StandardI’ve been meaning to get to this for awhile, so let’s dig in to some dirty jobs, hard choices, and don’t forget to punch in or you won’t get paid for today.
Unit 44 #4 Review
StandardI posted the preview of Unit 44 #4 a little bit ago and would’ve gotten this up sooner, but I had to pack a bag for my youngest to go spend a little time with her Grandpa. Anyway, let’s dive in shall we?
Review: Wild Bullets
StandardLast night I got a chance to talk to author Greg Wright about Wild Bullets (listen here) and I wanted to take a bit of a closer look at the book itself, strap on your jet-pack, and follow me past the jump, and into the abyss.
Review: Unit 44 #2
StandardHey there! Issue #2 of Unit 44 is about to hit, let’s check it out.
Follow me.
UNIT 44 #1
StandardGood afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Digital Comics and all the ships at sea! Today we are taking a look at a really fun book from Wes Locher, Eduardo Jimenez, and Alterna Comics. Step inside, walk this way!
You and me, Babe!
Hey!
Hey!
(I think I’ve already used this particular Def Leppard joke, oh well, sue me for ripping myself off, like John Fogerty)
Enter The Spider (Non comics, guitar talk)
StandardI wrote awhile back about wanting to do a decoupage project with one of my guitars, covering it with panels and pictures from assorted comics, I haven’t started it yet, but will soon. In the time since I wrote that though, I’ve really come to love my Hardluck Kings Southern Belle. Love it so much that after celebrating 2 years without a drink in December, and my 35th birthday almost here, I decided to treat myself to a little something.
John Carpenter’s Lost Themes
StandardGreetings! I’ve been meaning to get to this for awhile, but I got a little…Lost.
