In a fit of enlightenment democracy and ebullient goodwill, King Verence invites Uberwald's undead, the Magpyrs, into Lancre to celebrate the birth of his daughter. But once ensconced within the castle, these wine-drinking, garlic-eating, sun-loving modern vampires have no intention of leaving....
That The Illustrated Man has remained in print since being published in 1951 is fair testimony to the universal appeal of Ray Bradbury's work. Only his second collection (the first was Dark Carnival, later reworked into The October Country), it is a marvelous, if mostly dark, quilt of science fiction,...

I mention a couple spoilers in the review but here’s the only spoiler you need to know: this comic is pants!
This is gonna be an unpopular opinion (what’s new?) but the first Predator movie sucked. I’ve seen it twice now, ten years apart just in case it was an age thing, and hated it both times....

Batman and Aliens, together at last! I read the Batman/Predator crossover last year and it was really, really bad so maybe it’s because my expectations for this one were so low but I found Batman/Aliens to be a surprisingly pretty decent!

Imagine this... In 1934, ground-breaking horror writer H.P. Lovecraft is invited to write a story for a subversive underground magazine, all on the condition that a pseudonym will be used. The pay is lofty, and God knows, HPL needs the money; therefore...he agrees.
There’s one catch.

Batman Versus Predator II: Bloodmatch
Author | Doug Moench |
ISBN | 1563892219 |
This was a fun read. The tone was definitely different than the first series, which, on the one hand, can only make sense since there was a different writer/artist team on this series. Also, I suppose you could say it was 'closer in tone' with the Predator movies, or that the Predator was written more in...

The X-Files: Project Aquarius
Author | Stefan Petrucha |
ISBN | 1900097176 |
I remember, when reading the original comics back in the '90s, that I found them rather confusing but oddly compelling (regardless of my love for the TV series). Turns out, I was right.
Well, in fact the story makes somewhat more sense to me as an adult, but still, there are are these unexplainable...

This comic is actually much more than it seems. Maybe it is closer to 3.5 but I really want to make a point here. As it is published by Eurotica, one might assume it is just more thinly disguised porn.
Not so.
First off, the depictions are all softcore and focus on sensuality, rather than...
