Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Dogs: Bullets & Carnage Volume 1
I don’t think I took a single breath while reading the first volume of Miwa Shirow’s Dogs: Bullets & Carnage. It certainly lives up to its name (i.e. lots of bullets and carnage), but one should be sure to read the title’s “Prelude: Volume 0,” which sets up vital back-stories for the four main characters.

The wonderful world of remixed comics!
Chris Sims wins the Internet once again! Or does he? (I like doing these posts after a post gets everyone’s hackles up. Don’t we need the levity, people?!?!?!?)

I saw this discussed the other day on the Comic Book Resources’ forum, so I didn’t think it was really necessary to bring it over to here, but a reader sent me an e-mail today asking me to talk about it on the blog, so I’ll just post what Eric sent to me: I was [...]

The Reread Reviews — Young Liars Finale Countdown (Issue 4)
In the lead-up to Young Liars ending on (I believe) August 19 with issue 18, I will be rereading the 17 issues already out and discussing them at a rate of one issue per day. I haven’t reread any of these comics since they came out, so it should be fun. Spoilers, of course. Let’s [...]

Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: A Wyatt Earp Triple Bill
Anyone remember the dueling Wyatt Earp based movies from the early 90s? Tombstone and Wyatt Earp were released within 6 months of each other, raising the question of whether we really needed two biopics at the same time. Well, the funnybook world did one better in the late 50s, as there were no less than [...]

No Random Thoughts! (August 4, 2009)
No random thoughts this week thanks to my four-day vacation this past weekend. However, I did want to continue to promote my upcoming 24-hour blogathon on Saturday August 22 for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. I will be posting on my blog, GraphiContent, every 30 minutes for 24 hours starting at 9 am EST. [...]
Stupid reviewers think big fun summer action movies are stupid!
Paramount won’t screen G. I. Joe for critics. Usually, this means the movie sucks and has a built-in audience anyway, so who cares what those stupid reviewers think? This, according to the story, is an odder move, as this is the final big-time action movie of the summer. It’s not surprising based on the critical [...]
