Elsewhere... I got dapper

Food or Comics



In this week's comics-on-a-budget column, I picked Hellboy: Double-Feature of Evil, Return of the Dapper Men, and The Littlest Pirate King, among others.

I interviewed Kelly Sue DeConnick in the first of hopefully many profiles of my favorite comics storytellers.

Elsewhere... I joined the BPRD

Here's what else I was up to online this week:

What Are You Reading?



A mini-review of the first eleven or so volumes of BPRD, the greatest horror comic of all time.

Food or Comics?



In this week's comics on a budget column, I picked the latest volume of BPRD (shocker!), the complete Xenozoic, the most recent installment (finale, I think?) of Good Neighbors, and the first volume of Kill Shakespeare. Also some note-worthy single issues.

Gorillas Riding Dinosaurs



I reviewed the fantastic Beasts! anthology and asked for suggestions of other great cryptozoic comics.

Elsewhere... Mad scientists pose as vampires

Flick Attack!



Flick Attack is a new blog by the folks behind Bookgasm, the awesome book review blog. They can explain what Flick Attack's about much better than I can:
We’ll have no news. No scoops. No rumors. No set reports. Just one kick-ass review a day, Monday through Friday, with the occasional article on Saturday to make your weekend that much awesomer.

Yep, that’s right: Every day you get one review, so take it or leave it. While everyone else pees their pants over the latest multiplex releases, we’re gonna dig through our archives and toss out something that’s not playing a theater near you. Maybe you’ve heard of it; maybe you haven’t; maybe it’s easy to find; maybe it’s not — doesn’t matter. You will read it, and you will like it.

So if you like discovering cinematic trash-terpieces, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got horror, sci-fi, action, kung fu, comedy and sex. But no drama. If it’s tears you want, we’ll be happy to kick you in the shin.
And they're letting me play with them. My first review - for the Bela Lugosi masterpiece (and possible origin of vampires' saying "Bleh!") My Son the Vampire - went up last Monday.

This week's comics on a budget column included Beasts of Burden/Hellboy and Sky Pirates of Valendor amongst other things.

Boneyard



Finally, this week's Gorillas Riding Dinosaurs was a look at Richard Moore's Boneyard.

31 Things I Love About Halloween: Horror Comics



In addition to movie marathons, my comics tastes turn exclusively to horror in October. Rather than revisiting old favorites though, I'm usually catching up on stuff I've never read before.

Right now I'm reading Charles Burns' Black Hole (it's as good and disturbing as everyone says it is) and my Amazon shipment should arrive tomorrow with the volumes I lack from Richard Moore's graveyard smash, Boneyard. That'll probably carry me to the end of the month, but if there's time, I'll catch up some on BPRD. I tend to like monsters and spooky/creepy stories rather than gory shock/splatter stuff.

What horror comics are you reading? What would you recommend for me to add to my stack?
