Yesterday kicked off Indy Comic Book Week. Since the big two comic publishers each only shipped one new book this week (DC’s Blackest Night #6 and Marvel’s Origins of Siege #1), independent comic creators seized on the opportunity to fill the new issue racks with their own books. I picked up a couple of titles […]
2009 wasn’t the greatest year for movies. Highly anticipated flicks didn’t match expectations, and the hype engine managed to overhype a ton of mediocre flicks (I’m looking at you, Drag Me to Hell and Laid to Rest). Still, if you looked hard enough, you would definitely find some diamonds in the rough, and it’s a […]

Casey: Me Everything else: Aron Head ********* They drove along, Falco occasionally providing her with directions. “We need to get off the street. I’m taking you to my Austin residence. In light of this evening’s events, I think it prudent for you to be my guest for the foreseeable future.” Casey nodded absently, her mind […]
I really enjoyed the first Phobia (aka 4bia) , a 2008 Thai anthology horror film featuring the work of some of the most popular Thai horror film directors. It had some great ideas, but seemed to suffer from pretty poor special effects and uneven storytelling. Phobia 2, which actually features five stories, improves on the […]
I decided to rename “Paul’s Reading Dark Reign” because, at this point, it’s really just all buildup to Siege, isn’t it? Check out my previous reviews of Dark Reign and Siege related titles by clicking here. In preparation for Siege, and ever since the event was announced, I’ve kind of been jumping into the Marvel […]
Wait…wha? I didn’t realize The First Avenger: Captain America (stupid title by the way) had already signed a director. Now I see that not only have they signed a director, Joe Johnston, but they’re getting set to start shooting in June? Man … I’ve been out of the loop. Nonetheless, I’m pretty psyched about the […]
I make no bones (heh) about saying that Jeff Smith’s Bone is probably one of, if not THE, greatest comic book of ALL TIME. Sure, many others have created long form stories, like Cerebus, Preacher, and more, but none have had quite the same universal appeal as Bone. I’ve read a ton of articles and […]
