,

Erik Larsen and Todd McFarlane, two of the original “Image Seven” that changed the course of independent comics forever, are joining forces to take Spawn to a whole new level of awesomeness!  I have so much respect and admiration for what the Image 7 created with independent comics in 1992.

The Empire Strikes Back – Chewbacca a Political Tragedy in Ukraine

Ukraine has had its share of troubles recently but has topped them all with arresting Chewbacca on the day of elections in Odessa! The beloved co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon was arrested Sunday by Ukrainian police while driving political candidate “Darth Vader” to a voting station.

Honest Reviews by: “Comic Book Historian” – DC Comics; Superman #45

Too Early for this shit (A morning rant) It’s a week late, I know but some things never grow old. DC has tainted an icon in one of the worst ways. Love him or hate him, Superman has an air about him which adds to his demeanor and personality and when one veers so far off course it becomes noticeable. Superman #45 Superman… is down in Oakland but it sure feels like Mexico… no lie… fighting metahuman Lucha Libre wrestlers for money and Tacos… seriously no lie! MONEY & TACOS… and apparently Big Blue is cheap, he’ll fight in the
