How much do we love The Clash? Enough to name our entire project after them, duh. Having taken in many of the best documentaries on the legendary British band, we’re always stoked when a new doc, book, comic, biopic, cartoon, porn, fanzine, Tweet, pamphlet or whatever is released. Such is the case with The Rise […]

The seminal 80s Judge Dredd comic book was one of the best of its era, the 1995 feature film starring Sylvester Stallone was craptacular. This 2012 movie version, simply titled Dredd, could go in either direction. The casting of Lena Headey (Queen Cersei from Game of Thrones) as the villain/drug dealer Ma-Ma is promising, but the direction […]

OK, it’s Friday June 15th so you know what that means — we’re getting our tuxes ready for Jim Mahfood’s  L.A. Ink Stains vol. 1 Prom/Book Release Party over at Titmouse Animation Studios. You know we’re big fans of Mahfood’s L.A. inspired illustrations, and can’t wait to get our hands on his L.A. Ink Stains book, so […]

We’re sure you remember us writing about Jim Mahfood‘s L.A. inspired illustrations — how can you forget about a cartoon where tacos, Tecates and copious medical brownies are the gist of life?

The world which Jim Mahfood (aka Food One) illustrates with his long-running L.A. Ink Stains comic strip is really unlike any other — a highly personal, humorous black & white adventure following his everyday exploits in Los Angeles. Afternoons spent hunched over a desk drawing cartoons that make the world chuckle are offset by long […]

When you’re offered five minutes with one of your heroes, you jump on it with vigor like Kool Aid-geeked grade schoolers on a trampoline. Or at least, you should. Such is the case with one Mike Diamond, aka Mike D, the high-pitched smooth talker in the archetypal Beastie Boys. In this humble man’s opinion, if […]

We actually covered the the Comic Shelf by Oscar Nuñez several years ago, but back then it was just a commission piece some clever Mexican designer had come up with. Well now the Comic Shelf is seeing the light of production via Groopti, after Nuñez won their Creative Shelving Contest. A pretty clever way to […]

The hysteria surrounding the completion of Christopher Nolan’s lauded Batman trilogy is personified by Hong Kong manufacturer Hot Toys’ new collectible: a 1:6 scale replica of the Dark Knight’s Batmobile. The miniature Batmobile is fully equipped with functioning light-up headlights, cockpit opening panel and moveable braking flaps — measuring in at 29″ long, 18 1/2″ […]
