Comic Book Club: Omega the Unknown

Hey, didn’t I just do a Comic Book Club? Yes, it looks like I did. While I still recommend reading Stitches, I’ve got something completely different yet similar in a strange way for y’all today. Familiar with Omega the Unknown? Well, you’re about to be, so let’s get this Comic Book Club session going.

Comic Book Club: Stitches: A Memoir

I take great pride in my luck finding really cool comics/graphic novels outside the common knowledge. Have you read Watchmen? Yeah, probably. What about DC’s Crisis on Infinite Earths? Pretty good chance of that, too. But what about Stitches? Aha! I’ve got you, haven’t I? Good, because for today’s Comic Book Club selection we have a really good book by David Small, so hang on and let’s talk comics.

Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour: A Comic Book Club Review

Not too long ago, Monday actually, I wrote up a little thing about the newest Scott Pilgrim book and my inability to find a copy when I wanted it: Now. Guess what? I found a copy and read it, so I can give a real review for the conclusion to Scott’s precious little saga. Is it worth reading? Here’s what I think.

Comic Book Club: Ex Machina

It’s been a good long while since I’ve mentioned comic books, hasn’t it? I keep making this mistake and I apologize. The biggest problem is, the best comic books and graphic novels I read tend to be, well, less than child friendly. But, in the interest of giving honest recommendations, I have one of my favorite comic series for the Comic Book Club. Hang on ‘cause I’m gonna recommend Ex Machina today. Read more

Comic Book Club: Superman: Secret Identity

It’s been a while since the last Comic Book Club, hasn’t it? Don’t think I haven’t been neglecting my comic and graphic novel side. Oh no, I’ve been quite busy reading some excellent material (seriously, check out Wolverine: Old Man Logan if you can tolerate a lot of gore), but the tricky thing is finding something worth really sharing. I started with a Marvel-based book, so I realized it was time to balance the scale with a DC-based book. And what better comic to talk about than Superman? Except I’m not talking about a normal Superman comic, I’m talking about Super: Secret Identity by Kurt Busiek and Stuart Immonen, and it’s not like the other Superman stories.

Comic Book Club: Chickenhare

My hope is that by now you have enough confidence in me and my choices to trust just about anything I say. I’m going to need you to continue doing just that because there is a pretty cool book in today’s Comic Book Club that needs to be read. I’ll just give the name first and let you ponder it for a second: Chickenhare. Really yet? Let’s get started. Read more

Let’s Think Deep: Dante’s Inferno and It’s Place In The World

Usually I tend to be very silly and less serious than the typical individual when I write my articles. That’s just my style and also because I have the mental capacity of a seven-year-old. However, I’m about to go into a Let’s Think Deep that is going to tread on some extremely serious, touchy, and possibly inflammatory grounds. I’m going to be talking about Christianity, or more specifically, how Christianity appears in Dante’s Inferno. Not the classic Italian poem. No, the new video game based on said epic, and I use the phrase “based on” extremely loosely. So if you’re ready to Think Deep, let’s begin. Read more
