The Last Resort by Palmiotti, Gray & Caracuzzo
I just wrapped up reading The Last Resort by Palmiotti & Gray with art by Giancarlo Caracuzzo. Have you ever seen that seminal Christmas classic, Elf (that’s right, I called it a Christmas Classic)? There is a scene where Peter Dinklage’s character, Miles Finch says “a farm book would just be white noise.” That’s how [...]
100 Bullets
There are very few books which I kick myself for not reading sooner. 100 Bullets from Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso is one of those books. I’m not sure how I slept on it for so long. I recall a friend of mine talking it up in early 2000. Like, he couldn’t stop talking about [...]
Brooklyn Monster Factory
I recently received an email from Mike of Brooklyn Monster Factory. Sad to say, but these dudes had to close their doors not that long ago. Shitty, very much a bummer. And now Mike is left with a ton of old stock. This is where you come in. If you need old issues, trades or [...]
Superman #75 And My Dad
If you were reading comic books back in the early 90s, you know the hype that surrounded the Death of Superman. It was unmistakable. It was everywhere. You couldn’t turn the tv on without hearing about it. In fact, it was so big, that when the issue dropped, my dad stopped at the LCS and [...]
Be The Coolest Guy At ComicCon
The San Diego Comic Con is right around the corner. But don’t fear, you still have time to work on being The Coolest Guy At ComicCon!! If you are anything like me, you are probably some nerdy dude with an office job that has only probably ever been considered the coolest guy at the android [...]
Free Comic Book Day!
Don’t forget. Today is Free Comic Book Day! Love this day.
Autographed X-Men #1
12 year old me is salivating at the sight of this. X-Men #1. Red variant cover. Autographed by Jim Lee. Autographed by Chris Claremont. Autographed by Stan Lee. First, Jim Lee was probably my favorite artist of the 90s. The Image comics held me captive like no other. I had Casablanca Comics in Windham ME [...]
Batman Hawaiian Shirt
Sometimes kitschy goes too far. This is one of those times. This is a Batman Hawaiian shirt. Why? Why would someone do this to the Dark Knight? Are those short sleeves or long sleeves? I just cannot tell. They could be 3/4 length. Ooooooofffffffffffffffff
Marvel’s GI Joe #26
As a boy, I loved the G.I. Joe franchise. I had a ton of toys, watched the cartoon and even had a subscription to the comic. I think my first issue was around 35 (if I was near them, I could walk over and look. Yes, I still have them all). I read each one [...]
