The New Adventures of Hitler: Oh, the Controversy
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: August 30, 2010
Sorry, guys. It’s time for another history lesson. So! In 1910, some Irish lady named Bridget Dowling moved to Liverpool and married a German guy named Alois Hitler waaaay before that name meant anything to anybody. In 1914, Alois abandoned his family, faked his death after WWI, and bigamously married some German lady. In 1939 [...]

For dubbing our San Diego condo “Hive Five Headquarters,” we sure were quiet during the actual convention. Surely, the other blogs were covering all of the actual news stuff (OMG EYE-STABS) while we were out, you know, having fun and stuff. But we wouldn’t be much of a comic blog if we didn’t talk about [...]

When I was a young’un, I’d wake up early every Saturday morning to watch the crap out of some Batman Beyond. For whatever reason, a Batman in the future kind of seemed like one of the most awesome things ever (even if the show was pretty much just made up words, Seth Green, and day-glo [...]

“Thanks to things like ‘Buffy’ and ‘The Matrix’ the entire mainstream is pumped and primed to consume superhero stories.” -Grant Morrison, 2001 There were two versions of X-Men in the 90s. An awesome cartoon that instilled a love of Wolverine and Gambit to the boys and girls of America, and all of the pointless crap [...]

Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: March 7, 2010
10 (tie). Walking Dead – Robert Kirkman I can’t help feeling like this book should probably be #1 on our list. It isn’t (not even in my own personal ranking) because a few others were more popular, had greater impact, etc. But for sheer quality- in both concept and execution- The Walking Dead stood peerless [...]
Angel and Beak: A Testament to the Benefits of Unplanned Teenage Pregnancy
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: September 22, 2009
Angel and Beak: A Testament Towards the Benefits of Unplanned Teeange Pregnancy There are few titles that I loved as much as Morrison’s “New X-Men.” It pretty much had everything: intriguing new characters (fuck yeah, Xorn!), heartbreak (oh no, Xorn!), betrayal (man, fuck you, Xorn). And of these new characters, there are three who ultimately [...]
Gateway Drugs: The Hyper-Literate
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: September 9, 2009
“Hey, Rob, what are you reading?” “Oh, I just picked up all the trades for Animal Man. Seems like a pretty good book.” “Wait… That’s a comic book… Forget it, I’ll be over here jerking off to James Joyce.” There are so many uppity people who I’ve tried to get to read comics who turn [...]
