Monster of the Day #705

OK, intellectually, this is terrifying. Think how bad a regular-sized pissed off house cat is. It's not a bear or anything, but you wouldn't chose to tangle with it. More to the point, think of the cat in Incredible Shrinking Man. This would be bad news. Still...even if this isn't inherently farcical, like giant…

Monster of the Day #704

Seriously, that's just gorgeous. And I'm actually saving my favorite covers for the next time I do a Kona week. Notice again the huddlers up on the ledge. Screw those guys. Still, there's no doubt Kona is a badass. I mean, damn.

NOTICE!! Sadly, no T-Fest this fall…

It's not even just Dell covers. I could do about two straight weeks of Kona covers alone. This is one of the less awesome ones, and it features the book's cast being hauled off by La Carcagne.

Stuff….

Matt Smith is leaving Doctor Who after four seasons. I haven't really seen any of his stuff, but I know he has been very well received. Personally, I'd like them to go back to a Doctor who is at least somewhat older, but the real focus will be the inevitable "Is it time to…

Monster of the Day #701

Dell Comics back in the '60s had an interesting strategy. They turned out not very good comics, but hired really good artists to paint their covers, guys like George Wilson and Morris Gollub. The interior art, meanwhile, generally was bad to decent at best, but by the time you saw that you'd already been…
