Avatar Press has really been a saving grace in comics these last five or six years. Sure, there are points where I feel as though they may be willing to publish ANYTHING by some of the more iconic ‘Vertigo’ authors of the previous era. And anything, while allowing for some less-than-grand ideas to come through … Continue reading
It’s like the end of a Shamalamadingdong flick! How else other than a twist ending do you explain a ground-breaking director such as Aronofsky at the helm of the follow-up to what may just have been the worst movie of the previous decade*? Well, one thing is for sure, if this is indeed the case** … Continue reading
I mentioned in my previous couple blogs that my wife and I were on a two-week sabbatical in the Midwest, driving between several different areas of both Illinois and Ohio, with only a massive shoebox full of cassettes as entertainment. Some of the context of the box were things that I have since purchased on … Continue reading
So I may have mentioned my two weeks in the Midwest on Sabbatical*. The driving force behind this trip was two good friends wedding reception at the Polish Club in Dayton, Ohio.

I am really hard on comedies. This is because I believe that most of what passes for ‘funny’ isn’t. Fart humor? Nope. Will Ferrel? Please… Ben Stiller? Get my razor. And sketch comedy… I stopped watching snl a loooooooong time ago (approx, I think, 1994). Mad TV? Uh, not really. Dave Chapel? Okay, the reparations … Continue reading
As some of you may have previously noticed, I am an avid reader. I have been for most of my life. However, where once I openly embraced the ideas of science fiction and fantasy, over the last five years I have become ingrained with the idea that genre writing has become inherently bad. Now, that’s … Continue reading
BBC’s Radio 1 has long been a bastion of exploration and taste on the airwaves emanating from across the pond. The first broadcast (recording of course) I ever heard archived from the station was Jimi Hendrix, back in the 90’s when a friend of mine worked for Chicago radio station WXRT and raided their archives, … Continue reading
