I am a massive fan of Scorsese, always have been. I watched Taxi Driver as a young teen and was completely won over. Through repeat viewings over time and age I understood more and more of the film and it now ranks as number two on my all-time list. Scorsese was a master, no doubt [...]

Writers generally love to read, and this extension brings them to love to write. As I’ve said before, and I stole it then, to write is terrible but to have written is the most amazing feeling in the world. Part of that feeling of having written is getting the chance to go back and read [...]

My writing for 2010 is markedly different to my writing for 2009. Not necessarily in a bad way, in fact I think it’s going smashingly, but it most certainly is different and that can take some getting used to.
I am writing for The Weekly Crisis now, adding Op/Ed pieces about whatever in the comics world [...]

There’s not too much that needs to be said. I’ve got lots of thoughts and wonderment to share but it’s the end of the week and you, constant reader, should be allowed to just sit back and enjoy.
And enjoy you shall.
For it is coming.

I could simply post that cover and it would say so much. Marko Djurdjevic is one brilliant artist and I nearly always love his covers. I can stare at them and appreciate every stroke that he puts onto the characters he focuses on. He’s a mastermind, pure and simple.

It took Stephen King years, decades even, to write Under The Dome. He had the idea kicking around since forever and even once wrote a stack of it only to throw it all out as unsatisfactory. Yet he still knew that one day he would get back to it. He says he remembered the first [...]

I read The Road by Cormac McCarthy because my brother told me to. He read it because it was post-apocalyptic fiction, as did I. He also said it was damn good. Once I was finished, which was only a few days later, I agreed. It wasn’t long after that for news of a movie [...]

When I joined on at The Weekly Crisis they mentioned that they would like to do some interviews. I said I had DM’d Steven Sanders (the famed artist of recently cancelled S.W.O.R.D. fame) and brashfully said I’d be able to pull an interview with him. They were bold words but I wouldn’t to look like [...]

Yes, as some of you already know, I’ve sold out.
I’m a corporate player now, I’ve got the logo on the sleeve, and the party line memorised in the back of my brain. I’m just another shocktroop on the front line taking schrapnel for the big brains back in the tent who move us through the [...]
