For the evening or whenever crowd!!
My ‘Tigress Island’ coverage for this fine Tuesday continues with an issue #1 review. It’s really quite wild and bloody and all-around good (if the previous 5,000 words didn’t establish that for ya)!
More good work from the wonderful CB team (and the equally talented @davidharper.bsky.social). I feel like charts could be used for all sorts of half-cocked/nefarious ploys, but it creates a baseline that comics DESPERATELY needs. Math is the great illuminator, and numbers talk to most folks.
No cube paper weight? For shame, marketing gurus.
The first deep dive of the week is one I am quite proud of. It's also a really interesting book with genuine layers galore, and it was great to talk collaboration, modern comics, exploitation flicks, and much more with two great dudes. Enjoy!
This week's theme? "The world is a bloody/awful/wonderful/beguiling/wacky place."
It’s your boy on blood and narcolepsy.
Here's a list of 58 comics features/interviews I've done in he last 2.5-ish years, each one at least 3,000 words. (And some as high as 4k or 5k.) I am King Deep Dive of the Realm of Verbosa.
The thought of “Ben Wheatley and Slapstick” immediately formed in my mind.
Perhaps read my interview — tinyurl.com/38v4kvd6 — and #1 review — tinyurl.com/ye4uavtd? Hype hype!
ICYMI: A ‘Narco’ deep dive that’s also about creativity, friendship, and finding new ways into familiar stories. (CC @imagecomics.com):
More ‘Narco’ action!
I clearly don't know enough about Peanuts, but I've never seen it look this way. So flippin' cool looking.
Endings suck, but @alexpaknadel.bsky.social and @angoranapkin.bsky.social have used 'Cult of the Lamb' to tell a rich, massively important story. It hums with the best stuff of life, and it couldn't have come at a better time personally, socially, etc.
I love all things Wagner and Hillyard, and it was a proper joy to talk about their books, partnership, creative approach, etc. ‘Narco’ feels different in some key ways, and I think this piece contextualizes that pretty dang well. Enjoy!
Another edition of Judging by the Cover from @aiptcomics.com (complete with covers by @danielwarrenart.bsky.social, @jorgejimenezart.bsky.social, etc.) This week's theme is, "Heroes/Villains Doing Their Thang."
I gave some love to that totes great Big Bill record. Go America*! (* = Not the actual America; the one that now lives in the haze of conditionality and faded human decency.)
I want that “Deadman’s Daddy” shirt real bad.
I’ve thought about this sketch for almost 20 years: youtu.be/1F6o7P7YVbc?...
Happy New Outerspass Music Day for all who celebrate.
Wheatley is a proper storytelling madman, and I’m jazzed he’s dropped into Dredd-world.
This out this week -- get excited!
Not only do I like my write-up, but this book continues to be the perfect way to celebrate/dissect wrestling. Oh yeah!!
Holy shit! A sterling 10/10 review!
"I don’t say this often, and even now it feels a smidgen hyperbolic, but I earnestly believe this could be one of the most important books of this decade. Truly."
I don’t give out a lot of 10s, but @davechisholmcomics.com more than deserved it. A genuinely brain-melting book that does so darn much so effortlessly. We will be talking about this one for years.
Another great smattering of covers. I would say this week’s theme is, “Behold, the terror and wonder of the human body!”
Want even more of my musical musings? I also recently returned to @post-trash.bsky.social to review the new Bungee Jumpers release. It's real, real good, ya dweebs!
ICYMI!
A very cool Deep Dive (TM) as @josephpillidge.bsky.social and I talk about Milestone, 'The Dakota Incident,' the power of superheroes, legacy and lineage, Biggie, and much, much more. Enjoy!
