Someone once said: “A turd by any other name…still smells like shit.” That person is obviously right, but when we’re talking about “a band of fast-talking, hard-hitting turds” who blast their way across the cosmos in search of fortune…well, let’s just say those are turds of a totally different variety. Specifically I’m talking about Scud, […]

Paper Cuts #8: Weekly Comic Pull List
by Rondal 3 Comments
We’re going to totally ignore the fact that my last Paper Cuts entry was over a month ago because… well, bacon. No, not Kevin Bacon. The kind of bacon that you eat… okay, so I guess “technically” you could eat Kevin Bacon but that brings up all sorts of legal issues and really I don’t […]

However their latest announcement may just top it all, revealing a new series called Gotham by Midnight that will premiere in November by Ray Fawkes (CONSTANTINE, BATMAN: ETERNAL) and Ben Templesmith (WORMWOOD: GENTLEMAN CORPSE, WELCOME […]

Independently Awesome: Not So Super Comics
In a world jam-packed with countless iterations of bat-men, super-men and wonder-women sometimes it pays to be “not so super.” In fact, creator and author Jacques Nyemb is counting on it. Nyemb launched his own indie publishing imprint, Not So Super Comics, last Summer with the titles that focus less on spandex and capes and […]
