I’m reading Clive Barker’s Abarat to my class. I never thought I’d get the chance to read Clive Barker to little kids so I am relishing this opportunity. And they’re digging it, from all accounts. To kick it off, I did an art lesson based on the opening lines of the book: The storm came [...]

Man, this book was some weird shit. I could almost leave it at that. Michael Moorcock just spent like 160 pages melting my brains out my ears. This is how. The Final Programme is the first Jerry Cornelius book. Jerry is a good old British lad who doesn’t mind a bit of the old spy [...]

I’ve been excited for The Savage Axe Of Ares for a few months now. I was excited based on the title alone and the fact that it’s another 48 page b&w anthology just like they used to do in the good old days. This alone was going to get my money, but now we have [...]

I am completely sick of not seeing these awesome movies at the cinema. I wanted to see this but it never really happened and before you could say “Oscar snub” the flick was gone from the cineplex. I’d missed my window, and what a large and alluring window it was. I went into Moon with [...]

Wow, seems like working on three blogs, and a novel, is taking its toll. I haven’t been very busy here but I’ve been busy elsewhere. I reviewed some excellent comics, and I’ve finally seen my baby up close and personal. I’ve added a few k of words to the novel, as always, and I’ve been [...]

I never thought I’d have a blog, hell, a few years ago I barely knew what one was. Now I have over 300 posts here, over what must be about 3 years, and I love the chance to put things out there and share and have transparency to my writing. It’s interesting and scary and [...]

I mentioned my new interviewing gig the other day on here. I just wanted to get back to it, probably, one last time. This last bit will really explain why I like interviews so much. I read Playboy for the articles. There, the truth is out. I am that one guy. Get the sniggering out [...]

Most know I am digging the latest issues of Fantastic Four, and most, even myself, mention it as Hickman’s run. But the artist, Dale Eaglesham, should not be forgotten. He is doing a stellar job on the sequentials every issue that he touches and this tease, courtesy of CBR, shows just that. This is stunning [...]

Being the resident gonzo over at The Weekly Crisis has given me the chance to infect a wider range of the populace through their larger internets portal. It’s fun. I also wonder how many then follow me back here, or even know to…and in the end, would it change a thing? Knowing me, most likely [...]
