Softcover out June 20th via Image Comics... party coming soon!
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 […]

Glen E. Friedman's photo tribute to Adam "MCA" Yauch

Aaaah, metal. If you escaped the 80s without owning a Pantera album, or something from Slayer, chances are you were kind of a pussy. That’s not a smear, that’s just basic science. But metal has clearly survived the Reagan era, and is an entrenched culture everywhere from the frozen wilds of Scandinavia to the torrid […]

Dark, deep head music for the post-hip hop inclined
Young upstart British producer Evian Christ has assembled the various he’s released recently into one mixtape, titled Kings and Them. Released with a high bit rate and remastered, the 8-track EP rides the wave of Nu Hip Hop, post-dubstep sound coming from the likes of Clams Casino, Swarms and others — which is to say, […]
