Just be-fucking-cuz.
Having just gotten into The Department of Truth last year and read the first four volumes as trade paperbacks, I have to say, there's a definite adjustment taking it down to single issues every month, but I'm here and I'm ready to continue this slow descent into the Kennedy thing.
The final issue of this Eco-Horror mindfuck, and I'm wondering if the "Part One" on the cover means there will be more? 
I'm digging TMNT being bi-monthly. Give my fucking wallet a break, Kevin Eastman.
The end of the current arc, and I'm thinking, a major turning point. LOVE this cover.
NCBD:
One thing I've learned in life is to have Events to look forward to. They can be daily events (opening that first beer at the end of the day), yearly events (new seasons of a show you love, like, let's say, The Last Drive-In on Shudder, just renewed for season seven), or weekly events, like NCBD. So, what does this week's event look like? Let's take a look...
Watch:
As someone who pays for The Last Drive-In's Patreon, I have access to all the great, older content Joe Bob and Darcy are posting there. LOTS of stuff from the Monstervision era, which is all new to me. Last night's viewing? Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! And now this will no doubt be in my head for the rest of the week:
Watching this with Joe Bob circa 1997, I was floored by some of the factoids. Like, Keaton was uninterested until Burton told him he would re-write the script and just let him develop the titular Bio Exorcist's schtick. Boy, did that work! Or that, originally, Burton wanted Sammy Davis Jr. to play Beetlejuice. Can't you kind of picture that? Or even that - and I'm sure I knew this back at the time it came out - this was Burton's second feature! This flick has never meant to me what it does to others, but it's weird AF, and I love it for that. Just the fact that they married Calypso music with Goth overtones reminds me of what a genius Burton was at one time. I'll be seeing the new Beetlejuice sooner or later, and I'm looking forward to it.

Halloween In Cambodia
Because I've got Jello on the mind.
Watch:
Wowza.
Literally can't wait for this. There's a great interview with writer/director Steven Kostanski about his influences in the new issue of Fangoria, and reading that really put this one back on my radar. I missed it at Beyondfest last year, so I'm tempted to do something I've not yet done during Quarantine - a watch party with friends! Either way, looks like Psycho Goreman hits VOD on the 22nd, so the wait is almost over!
God this looks fantastic.
