Three Songs Why I LOVE The Misfits w/ Michael Graves Prt. 3

And thus, finishing the holy trinity of Graves-era Misfits.

As if that wasn't enough...

Three Songs Why I LOVE The Misfits w/ Michael Graves Prt. 1

This usually surprises people, hell it surprised me back in the day, but as big a fan I am of Danzig and Danzig-era Misfits, it does not interfere with my absolute LOVE of Michael Graves-era Misfits. Oh, I know, I know. Calm down. I know it's sacrilege, but seriously? Aren't Danzig and the Misfits all about Sacrilege and obliterating all that you hold holy? Then why oh why elevate them to that same position? Reminds me of the Golden Dawn talking shite about Christianity when they themselves adhered to a suspiciously Christian-like hierarchy. Further proof that any good idea put into practice by this mostly dumb animal called humanity ultimately corrupts itself and becomes what it sets out to fight.

None of that baggage muddies up the Misfits though. Graves-era is obviously waaaay more polished and a bit of a caricature but it is awesome nonetheless and if you doubt me then the this post as well as the two to follow are my not-so-subtle attempts at convincing you.

Happy Fookin' Irish Day Ye Basterds!

Want a good St. Patty's Day? Drink some Guinness, some Bushmills and listen to this album. It'll make you feel like a little, drunken, Irish GOD!

Drinking with Comics Issue #3

...is up! Inside Mike and I display our ignorance on the topic of historical figures before tastefully segueing into talk about Larime Taylor's A Voice in the Dark, the return of David Lapham's Stray Bullets, IDW's reissuing of Sam Keith's The Maxx (as well as reissues we'd like to see down the line) and Sam Adams' Winter Lager and a host of other things. Oh, and Joe.Baxter continues to scheme behind the scenes...

Stray Bullets!!!

The return of David Lapham's Stray Bullets is what's on tap in this week's issue of Thee Comic Column over on Joup.

David Lynch - Twin Peaks 25 Years Later...

So I'm not entirely sure how I missed this. Obviously, if you drop by here at least once in a while you'll see my output is waaay down. So busy. It's work, and it's reaching 412 usable pages in my novel and still going strong (probably about double that when you add exploratory/what's getting tossed or re-worked). Then there's Drinking with Comics. Then there's comics. Today was the return - after 8 years - of David Lapham's Stray Bullets. I woke up at 4:30 AM, got to work by 5:41 AM, left work at about 2:45 PM, drove to The Comic Bug, picked up my pull list, which included the looooooong awaited Stray Bullets #41, which finally gave closure to an 8 year cliffhanger and wrapped up the Hi-Jinks and Derring-Doo phase of the book and saw, also today, the launch of Stray Bullets: Killers #1. Lapham promises it gets better from here. I believe him. I'm really sorry to say good bye to Virginia Applejack though, even if only for an issue. Anyway, more about SB in Thee Comic Column this week on Saturday. For now I brought it up to say I gave myself a day off, came home from the shop, smoked and read my comics. It was nice, oh so nice.

In the interim my friend Chester from Joup sent me this link and I was just blown away. I'm very close to a re-watching of Twin Peaks and this might just be the thing that puts me over the edge.
