Sink Your Teeth into the Best Vampire Comics of All Time

by Leave a Comment

Every culture on Earth seems to have its own vampire myth:

  • The Lilitu of Ancient Mesopotamia
  • The Mandurug of the Philippine Islands
  • The Cihuateteo of the Aztecs
  • The Asanbosam of the Ashanti people of Africa
  • The Strega of Italy

Heck, the most recent creation of a vampire myth comes as late as post-Civil War America! In 1892, Mercy Brown was blamed posthumously for the outbreak of “consumption” in Rhode Island. The family exhumed her body. A doctor examined her lack of decay. And then her heart was removed and burnt to ash on church grounds.

Rob Liefeld – A Tale of Two Dogs Fighting

by 9 Comments

It had to happen. We had to talk about Rob Liefeld. The man is, and always will be, an enormous figure in the comics field. So big that the gravity he exerts pulls all blogposts towards him.

Frames.

My walls are covered in frames. Comics, art prints, LPs, if it can survive under glass, I’ve got it hanging in here. Which is why I’m the perfect person to help you with your interior decorating needs. Because not only do I know how to arrange stuff on a wall, but I’ve run out of space on mine and now need to use yours. [Read more…] about How to Frame Your Comics

The 10 Best X-Men Stories of the 2010s!

by Leave a Comment

It’s not always easy being the X-Men. As advertised, they are “hated and feared by a world they’re sworn to protect.” However, they are also capable of selling millions of comics and becoming household names.

Indeed, their very publication history would graph with quite the insane peaks and valleys of popularity- from cancellation and reprint limbo to perpetuating one of the most unwieldy multi-title franchises.

That being said, it’s truly been some time since fans have been genuinely excited about Marvel’s Children of the Atom. All that has recently changed with the launch of Jonathan Hickman’s slate-cleaning take-over as the intertwining mini-series House of X and Powers of X currently unfold and astound.
