Comic Quickie: Goldfish by Brian M. Bendis

By Jon Magne | Published: November 29, 2008

Quickie: Mad Men, Season 2

By Jon Magne | Published: November 26, 2008
Remember how much I liked the first season? Well, I gave it a weak 9/10, and have since then ranked Mad Men as one of my top ten shows of all time. So yeah, I was a fan going into this second season of AMC’s award winning drama (and when I say “award winning”, I [...]

Here’s One for My Fellow Norwegians

By Jon Magne | Published: November 21, 2008

Did You Know…

On a somewhat Gaiman-related note, I might as well announce that I’m nearly halfway through his graphic novel series, “The Sandman” after having [...]

Quantum of Solace

By Jon Magne | Published: November 8, 2008

What Could’ve Been…

By Jon Magne | Published: November 1, 2008
For all you Transmetropolitan fans out there, here’s a little slice of what could’ve been if the god’s were willing.
