What could possibly go wrong? There's a lot of amputation around this week, even if it's not always quite as gleeful as in Wraith #4. Though there's a soupcon of glee and admiration in the Walking Dead that seems just the right amount out of place… And there's Aquaman which has has its fair share of amputations[...]

Welcome to another week of comic book thinking. The London underground tube strike was called off, and I was able to get into town without any trouble.

Apparently you almost see a nipple. And no, I don;t mean Charles Soule's face. So, as a result, Oni Press have made a new variant cover that retailers can order independently By way of Photoshop zoom. No Charles Soule's face required. Sex in space Messy subject But now one that retailers can order and put on the shelves without[...]

(So long, of course, as there was no reasonable possibility that it could get you jailed or killed.) And that line of thinking frees up a person to act upon whatever queries they may have. -'I wonder if I can do a consistently updated, long form comic.' Spring forth my journal comic SCRAPS, now entering into its[...]

So, NBC haven't picked up The Sixth Gun as a TV show. But it is still available as a really decent comic book. And you never know, one day the pilot

Sherwood Yeah, I can't get that stupid Bon Jovi song out of my head too. So, Bad Medicine is a crime/supernatural/weird-o-rama type series from Oni Press and issue 5 is the final part of a three part storyline featuring (think Bon Jovi big hair) Werewolves They've been done to death in film and literature, and beaten to[...]

The other is the brand spanking new logo from Oni Press.   Note the sharp libe of the speech balloon, the face focus, the website… if only Zuda had included a pun in the logo as well…? Too much of a reach? In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree[...]

Antony Johnston's apocalyptical rebuilding comic, Wasteland from Oni was aways meant to monthly. But something slipped, as these things are want to do.
