Ah, yes THURSDAY! The day AFTER the best day of the week, which means we can discuss all new COMICS! Five titles reviewed (with light spoilers) this week… let’s get to it!
It’s the most wonderful time of the week. Sure, some of you may prefer more classical favorites like “Friday” or “Saturday”, but I prefer “just after Wednesday” where hopefully I’ve had a fresh meal of funny papers. Care to browse through my most recent stack with me? Thrills, chills, Kirkman, Mignola, and light spoilers to come!

I take a bizarre moral high ground in entertainment… this combination of refined “art” and perfected “pop” that is both smarter and hipper than you, while never being “too” smart or “too” hip, and all the while being a judgemental bitch whilst I espouse my beliefs.
As such, I view myself well above about 95% of what makes up the “horror” genre. If we aren’t discussing the first two “Alien” flicks, it may not end well for you. Just this past month, however, I’ve realized that I have some very glaring weaknesses. For example– cheesy vampire dramas. Blade, Angel, and so on.
