If you think of Thor when you hear the phrase “motion comics,” think again. Sure Thor is a motion picture based on a comic that’s based on a myth, and sure it’s pure fun to watch, but the world of motion comics is a whole other rodeo. Take The Angel: Motion Comic from writer/artist/creator Dean […]
There’s been a lot of bustle lately about Stussy’s collaboration with Marvel, and considering the onslaught of Marvel comic book movies coming out this summer the Cali boys at Stussy couldn’t have a better brand to get in bed with. To promote the collab, they’re doing a GIVEAWAY as well (altho clearly not as cool […]
