Oh Howard...not you too!?...of all peop...er...of all ducks! You’ve got one of the best books out there, a book that gets people into the comic shop on delivery day, has people giggling like numptys when they’re waiting in the queue and even has me laughing like a tit when I run their books through the till! All of…
Yeah, this does seem to happen to everyone sooner or later! (trust me, you don’t have to wait until you’re in your 50’s or later to experience that odd sense of alienation) It could be music or technology or even language. Almost every aspect of life can be ‘improved’ and therefore made ridiculous or weird. The one…
Christmas and horror has always gone well together, (Christmas eve especially) and not just the whole made up invisible people living in the sky telling us whats right and wrong thing. I’m thinking of stories like A Christmas Carol, the signalman etc. It’s just an oddly spooky time of year. The Krampus film looks…
Well that’s a lovely treat for today; Greengrass and a (shirtless) Matt Damon back making amazing films together! I Don’t normally like the straight ‘action’ genre but the Bourne trilogy is one of those exceptions. Just amazing. It also seemed to have quite a reinvigorating effect on the rest of genre. It certainly…
Cue me humming ‘that’ tune whilst banging on the table in time to the beat!
He’s a fantastic speaker and one of those very rare experts that can lay it out in a simple enough way for plums like myself to understand. Well worth watching if you’re thinking of selling any fan related work - it’s not a ‘don’t do it’ so much as a ‘be aware of the problems’. As always the best advice is make your…
That hard work definitely shows, and it’s very, very welcome! As a (yet another irrelevant) bi white chap who works part time in a comic shop, it’s these galleries that actually reflect the crowds we have as regular customers. They’re the reason I choose to spend my weekends ‘off’ from studying and normal work,…
Then I hope it stays below that corporate radar for years to come! - it seems like a jolly nice crowd they’ve got there:)
‘Undue stress’?! She sued for ‘wrongful birth’? Speaking as someone with a mixed-race family...and probably more importantly, coming from a thinking, feeling human being... ‘Fuck you’. You’d hope that if this woman had learned anything as a lesbian growing up in a shitty town full of barely evolved, racist and…
This looks great! Oh Matt Damon, how you confuse me. I don’t want to like you but you really are a great actor who’s been in some brilliant films - damn you and your sympathetic, relaxed ‘every-man’ quality.
It’s really nice to have a con cosplay collection that seems a little bit more reflective of the majority of the fandom’s. It’s such a nice broad church these days and it’s lovely to see that reflected in the photos for a change. All sorts of ages, families, sizes etc - makes it a lot more welcoming than just the…
As someone from outside the U.S it does seem long overdue to give Stephen King a bucket load of kudos! His work is known and loved the world over and he’s created such an awesome range of stories. Good on him - long may he continue:)
I do remember something about the Punisher skull turning up in one of the iron man films but I can’t for the life of me remember which one!
Yep, couldn’t agree more! This has pretty much got me back on board for this series of Arrow. I Really hope his episode turns out to be bloody amazing and shockingly popular. With any luck there’ll be a roomful of suits somewhere all shouting, ‘we should have a show with that chap as the lead! What is that character?…
Well I don’t have a machine that can run...well, anything really. To be more exact nothing more advanced than brutal doom so there’s that, with Fran Bow and Sunless Sea on the laptop. I didn’t expect much from either of those but they have really grabbed me! The writing in Sunless Sea is really charming and Fran Bow…
Ayyy! Excellent, I was just thinking I needed something funny and covered in blood...er...yeah. Nice heads up - I’ll shall go find it. Thank you!
One of my favourite comics that I return to again and again. It has so many layers and it’s always so rewarding to dive back into. I would love to see it live and breath in a series of films or a t.v show but I’m also kind of relieved that it would never get made. Way too expensive and occasionally far too weird for…
Noooo! Please no. I love this comic way too much to see it as anything else. I don’t want to see or hear someone else’s version of ‘my’ characters:(
I really think that Jeffrey Jones admitting that he’s never read a paragraph of Pratchett pretty much excludes him from having an informed opinion about if his writing will endure. If you’re a literary critic/journalist then you really should be used to reading work you might not have chosen to read in your own…
I’ve only just heard about these guys - I think it was because of the Gremlins 2 sketch. They’re hilarious, wish it wasn’t ending:(
