PKD’s (and David Mack’s) ELECTRIC ANT

April 9th, 2010 | Posted in Comics, Daily Rants

The first issue of Philip K. Dick’s Electric Ant hit the stores this week like a psychic invasion.  Reading more like a copy of Heavy Metal than the latest release from Marvel Comics (which it is), Electric Ant hits all the right notes in introducing the reader to the mind of Philip K. Dick.  What […]

Oh, Silly Hollywood

March 19th, 2010 | Posted in Comics, Daily Rants, Movies, TV

In the past few years we have been subjected to reboot television shows and movies of old franchises (and in some cases just characters) and it is rare when it proves to meet the level of its original. The Superman reboot leaps to mind, and the list continues with Knight Rider, Charlie’s Angels,  Transformers, Land […]

Large Con, Small Con

March 17th, 2010 | Posted in Comics, Daily Rants, Events

This last Sunday the entire crew was in Nashua, New Hampshire for GraniteCon. It was a cozy con for collectors, gamers, and fans with many local artists in attendance. At the same time we are gearing up for Boston ComiCon, one of the largest, most well attended cons in New England. Modesty forbids me from […]

The Human Target – Let’s Give It A Chance, but, I pun.

February 12th, 2010 | Posted in Comics, Daily Rants, TV

Based on the comic book of the same name, this Fox production stars Mark Valley, Chi McBride and Jackie Earl Haley. I want to be perfectly honest. I love the comic. I am, so far, not a fan of the series. Here’s why:

Time once again for Illustrator X’s X-citing list of back issues guaranteed to warm the cockles of your favorite fanboy or girl’s heart.  Why pore through their Amazon lists of Bat-lava lamps when a back issue is fun to buy, you get to pre-read it, and most importantly, no one else is going to buy […]

Your Friday Movie Rumor Update

January 15th, 2010 | Posted in Comics, Daily Rants, Movies

The Terminator Franchise has been sold to Lions Gate, seeing as Salvation was such a dog. Joss Wheadon offered 10K for it, and everyone in the Buffy-verse wishes they had taken that bid, myself included. The thought of Amy Acker as Sarah Conner is soooo hot. News of The Lantern: Blake Lively has been set […]

Incorruptible? Unreadable…

December 20th, 2009 | Posted in Comics, Daily Rants

So the hot book of the week was Incorruptible, a BOOM! Studios comic from Mark Waid and Jean Diaz.  I say it’s the “hot” book, because my local comic store owner was touting it as such and another customer almost thrust it into my hands, surprised that I hadn’t leapt over the counter and torn […]

Alan Moore and the Pipes of Doom, or “Beware! It Sings”!

December 7th, 2009 | Posted in Comics, Daily Rants, Websites

As you’ve probably heard, Alan Moore has taken yet another break from his perpetually-forthcoming treatise on magick (and yes, that is actually spelled right, look it up) to release his own magazine, Dodgem Logic.  This magazine not only contains comics by the esteemed Mr. Moore, but also artwork from his League of Extraordinary Gentlemen collaborator […]

RIP Boneyard

November 20th, 2009 | Posted in Comics, Daily Rants

There’s a lot of great comics series wrapping up right now.  Rex Mundi, an alternate-history look at the Rennes-le-Chateau mystery that puts Dan Brown to shame.  Ex Machina, where a would-be superhero, knowing that with great power comes great responsibility, uses his powers to run for public office.  And now, Boneyard.

ComiCon Boston 2009 or Lets Set The Wayback Machine For 1972, Sherman.

October 26th, 2009 | Posted in Comics, Daily Rants, Events, Literature, Sitely News

ComiCon Boston was this past weekend and I was blown away by some of the things that went on. We had a great booth there, made some wonderful new friends, got some great interviews and had such a moment of Déjà vu. In 1972, I was unemployed, and would spend the mornings looking for work […]
