Alan Moore's Neonomicon
Avatar Press has really been a saving grace in comics these last five or six years. Sure, there are points where I feel as though they may be willing to publish ANYTHING by some of the more iconic ‘Vertigo' authors of the previous era. And anything,… Continue reading
Aronofsky Directing Wolverine 2?
It's like the end of a Shamalamadingdong flick! How else other than a twist ending do you explain a ground-breaking director such as Aronofsky at the helm of the follow-up to what may just have been the worst movie of the previous decade*? Well, one thing is… Continue reading
Tape Sessions: The Inevitability That Some Things You Once Loved You Will Eventually Hate
