I first recognized Tara McPherson a few years ago sitting at her booth at Comic Con — it was insane. The line to meet her and have art signed wrapped around 2 other booths and basically shamed the couple other artists with signings at the time. I realized then that McPherson has the sort of […]

One man's perspective of San Diego Comic-Con 2010
The San Diego Comic Con is quite unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before, be thee commoner, X-Man, vampire, mutilated zombie, Star Wars cretin or garden variety fanboy. It is the ne plus ultra Mecca for geeks worldwide — but you don’t need me to tell you that. We attended it last week and had 3 […]

Eric Powell's cult comic makes the leap to the silver screen
It’s too early to call quality on this one, but seeing as The Goon is produced by David Fincher odds are stacked in its favor. Not only is the animation pretty remarkable, but its also very loyal visually to the original material. Based on Eric Powell’s 1999 cult comic from Dark Horse, The Goon follows […]

The very unmundane world of Reuben Negron
Reuben Negron paints hyper-realistic watercolors, each piece seeming like a film still capturing a moment of a story for eternity. Although much of the art is sexually charged, he claims his art explores the intricacies of the mundane…but if this is his world (eg bondage, girl-on-girl, auto arousal, implied infidelity, etc), and this is what […]

Tshirt and poster from one of LA's premier comic artists
We’ve been big fans of Jim Mahfood even before he rocked our launch party last August. Prior to that we’d collaborated on a 16-page comic book for BPM magazine, and ever since he’s been one of our favorite LA artists. Whether it’s working on Kevin Smith’s Clerks or Marvel’s Spider-Man comic books, doing murals for […]

A twist on all things pop, finding the calm balance between the ‘60s and ‘70s and 21st century hyper culture
I’m pretty much a magazine junkie. For the ones that provide superior content anyway. Like Milan’s Pig magazine. As much as I like the immediacy of the web, nothing can replace the experience of walking up to a magazine rack, surveying the field, finding something that catches your discriminating eye and getting lost inside the […]

The last 10 minutes of the crappiest movie you'll never see
This has nothing to do with the image above, but I figured if it involves Fantastic Four we might as well look at peak-form Jessica Alba. The video below is the last 10 minutes of the lost Fantastic Four “film” that was never released…and for good fucking reason. Yes it’s old (1994), but keep in […]

Some good points on both sides. I’d have to lean with Marvel over DC anyday…
