Watchmen…

March 8, 2009 by spankleberry

…is to become Saturday morning cartoon… !? Watchmen is a serious, serious bit of graphic novel, even with meta-powered individuals populating its story. Written by psychedelically charged soul-delver Alan Moore, it is a seminal piece of literature, and I might almost be excited to see them release a movie of it this week. But I […]

Review: Pan's Labrynth

December 29, 2006 by spankleberry

Now this, this was a nice movie. Like Tim Burton only…. not cute in a creepy way. Billed as horror, well it had it’s moments. There was definitely some creep going on. There was some.. brutal, greusome moments. I had to hold milli’s head at parts and tell her when it’s over, while I was […]

Marvel and DC comics jointly filed a trademark on the word “super-hero.” They use this mark to legally harass indie comic […]

POWERS: Psychotic

March 8, 2006 by spankleberry

Powers Graphic Novel # 9: Collecting Volume 2 Issues 7-12 What can I say about Powers? It’s one of the best written comics I know of, or at least one of my favorites, and certainly the only currently ongoing comic I actively seek out.

alan moore interview

March 7, 2006 by spankleberry

As I was getting thrown out of the store (“meh it’s 6pm and we’re closing.” gits) I saw an A3 (like 11×17 but foreign) local magazine featuring a long in depth interview with Alan Moore, the genius shaman of comic books- most notable movie translations for the illiterate: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, From Hell, […]

BattleStar Galactica- Season 1

March 2, 2006 by spankleberry

Fiending for my sci-fi junk, I shot up this remake of a childhood favorite. Granted it IS better than the original, but not so much so I’d recommend you running out and purchasing one of your own, even from a secondhand store such as I did. There are certainly moments of interest: the Armatage III-esque […]
