Top 50 Modern Comic Artists - Mike Mignola
wowowowow
Mike Mignola has always been one of my inspirations, both for art and writing. For those of you who haven’t yet, you owe it to yourselves to watch the first (and only) episode of The Amazing Screw-On Head.
The Hell, guys. Wittiness coupled with self-deprecation and brooding sarcasm does not make me a musician.
That being said, welcome. Please put your seats in the upright and locked positions, and make sure your luggage is safely stowed away.
New Bourne Legacy trailer.
I’m— I’m sorry, there’s more to it than Jason Bourne? I didn’t quite catch that. Could you say it twenty or so more times? Maybe it’ll stick. —Oh! New guy. More than Jason Bourne. Oh okay, yeah, I got that, thanks.
Life Cycle
I’ve recently fallen in love with Jillian Tamaki’s Supermutant Magic Academy. I highly suggest pleasuring your RSS feed with its presence.
Motion City Soundtrack debuts “Circuits and Wires” off their new album “Go.”
I love this band with every part of my heart whose love is not required for something vital.
Supermutant Magic Academy Fan Comic.
I made this fan-fic comic for one of my favourite webcomics ever made - Jillian Tamaki’s Supermutant Magic Academy.
It’s kind of a reverse nod to the character Everlasting Boy, who might be the only webcomic character who’s actually made me think pretty hard about how I am living my life.
YES YES YES. Panel #4: I love you.
This ain’t your dad’s taxidermy. Although, I would absolutely keep something like the fox on my mantle (if I had one).
Top Of The World by Gwarf
After several conversations with friends, it has been more or less unanimously agreed that a dune buggy is the ideal car of my early 20’s life.
Jurassic Park theme song, slowed down 1000%.
This needs visual aids.
Preferably directed by Terrence Malick.

chicken and brie sandwich with roasted cherry tomatoes: recipe here
First: This looks amazing. A large part of my cross-country trip this July is to discover local places across the country that serve sandwiches that look this amazing.
Second: I am very lactose intolerant. I tolerate very little lactose. The mind is willing, but the body is weak (much like my relationship with Marathon Tetris). This dilemma will be the subject of at least two posts/video updates while I’m trekking. Guaranteed. Fair warning. Move along.
I finally (finally) got through The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, the last film of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Trilogy. I know, yes, technically, now I should go back through and read the Stieg Larsson novels and wait for the American versions of the rest of the films to be released, but…
There is just something about Noomi Rapace playing Lisbeth Salander that is so captivating on film. Every aggravating bit of internal torment that is going on is so evident in ways that (as great as Rooney Mara is), the American version of Dragon Tattoo can simply never capture. No matter what you think of the pacing, or the other actors, or the writing, or your continual ignorant monolingual need to look back and forth between the characters and the subtitles, Noomi’s Lisbeth carries the film.

Marvel’s first openly gay character, Northstar, is engaged to be married to his boyfriend Kyle. This is the first gay marriage in Marvel history.
It’s things like this that make me proud to be a comic book reader. I found a comment online addressing this incredible milestone, and I couldn’t agree more with what he/she says:
“…Marvel has long been at the forefront of social issues, advocating for civil rights long before many other forms of media were. Stan Lee deliberately wrote X-Men to speak to those who were disenfranchised, whether they were black, immigrants, gay, or former soviet farmboys who can turn into steel. This is completely in keeping with Marvel’s history, and quite frankly X-Men is the perfect comic for it. Don’t write this off as a publicity stunt; while Marvel is certainly going to get some publicity for this, artists and authors pour their hearts and souls into their work, and for those involved in this project, this is likely an important issue to them that is allowing them to express fully their desire for what they consider a more equal America.
This is a complex issue where people are trying to learn to respect one another while still working through religious ideals and spirituality, all while some less scrupulous individuals manipulate our feelings for their own gain. Everyone’s identity is being challenged on this one, and a happy resolution is coming, but it’s still going to take more and more work.”
I’m actually looking forward to seeing what happens in this issue (Astonishing X-Men #51) because I kind of half-expect the Brotherhood to bust in somewhere during the service and be all, “We support your rights to love and marry whoever you want, but you are still X-Men so we will fight you!”
Also, DC just announced that one of their “iconic characters” will be coming out of the closet very soon— a character we haven’t seen since the New 52. Is this a marketing ploy to try and play catch-up? When was the last time we saw Wally West?
