Comic Quickie: Goldfish by Brian M. Bendis
I’m actually very, very busy doing lots of things that are, by every sane standard, a lot more important than blogging, so expect a lot o’ quickies in the near future. If I gloss over stuff you’d actually like to know, you can always pop a question in the comment section. It’s all right – [...]
Locke & Key: “Welcome to Lovecraft” by Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez
This was one of the first things I bought when I decided to get into comics and it’s also one of the best. Joe Hill, the prodigal son of Stephen King, became one of my favourite writers last year when I read his chilling début novel “Heart-Shaped Box” and his fantastic short-story collection “20th Century [...]

Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan & Pia Guerra
I love a lot of books and I love a lot of films and TV series, but even though I’ve read a lot of what’s generally considered the best comics around, I haven’t happened upon many examples in the genre that hold my required quality. A lot of the MARVEL stuff I’ve tried have [...]

Preacher by Garth Ennis & Steve Dillon
“Preacher” is a nine volume long comic series that tells the tale about how one man, Jesse Custer, got fed up with all of life’s inexplicable bullshit and decided to stick it to the Man. And by “the Man”, I of course mean the Big Cheese; the Exec of all Exec’s; Big Beard Grumpy yes, [...]
‘Wanted’ by Mark Millar & JG Jones
Do you ever feel like the world conspires against you, that there are sinister powers that sometime twitch your little puppet strings to make you adhere to their dance macabre?
Well, do you?
Because I don’t. Believe, that is, that there is something like faith that goes into this phenomenon. It’s called marketing, people, and a lot [...]

Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis & Darick Robertson
Ever since I picked up Ellis’ prose novel “Crooked Little Vein”, I couldn’t help but wonder what the fuck I had stumbled onto. That short and thoroughly disgusting little crime novel was unlike anything I’d ever read before, and not just in the sheer amount of craziness per page, but also in the way Ellis [...]

Comic Books Galore, 8/4-08
What say you, dear readers; are you up for another round of me blathering on about the random comics I’ve been tearing through? If so, then grab a hold of that parachute and try not fall to your death while I present my latest conquests in a, hopefully, death-defyingly funny manner. Here we go:
Pride of [...]

Locke & Key: Nr. 1 – “Welcome to Lovecraft” | Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodríguez
Joe Hill isn’t a superstar like his father, Stephen King.
But he will be. The surest sign of this is of course that he was awarded the the SABA (Slightly Apocalyptic Book Award) for “Best New Author” here at this very blog. He received that honour because of his marvellous short-fiction collection “20th Century Ghosts” and [...]
