Comics are a great medium for action-heavy stories, but showing inner conflict without massive walls of text can be difficult. The other day I picked up a very disappointing graphic novel version of “Frankenstein” - it read like an illustrated summary of the book, not reflecting any of the angst and ...

Good evening boys and GHOULS (to quote my favorite crypt keeper).
I hope you have been having a frightful October. Kudos to the Blood Moon making an appearance last week, Mercury Retrograde is in full motion (which means it only appears to be moving in reverse), and Pluto has just ...

Staying Positive in Troubled Times

I have been trying to avoid the real world news the last few weeks because it just goes from bad to worse to even more worse. Just last night, there was a large earthquake in Northern California, Iceland is getting ready for another volcanic eruption, and Dr. Hammond from Jurassic ...

FRIDAY NEWSPOST - Comic Book Movies
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Aug. 8, 2014
Apparently the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is coming out right about now. While the explosion-filled trailer I saw for it (before the equally explodey Transformers 4) made up my mind that I won't be seeing this particular movie, comics have been the inspiration for some great films.
Because ...
FRIDAY NEWSPOST - A New Way Forward for DrunkDuck
HippieVan at 12:00AM, July 25, 2014
After some drama with the website the other day (I'm sure most of you noticed that the site was down for a time) and some cleverness on the part of ozoneocean, I'm writing my first newspost with DD officially under community control.
I'm pretty darn excited, and ...
FRIDAY NEWSPOST - Representation in comics
HippieVan at 12:00AM, July 11, 2014
I've written about Archie comics before - it seems every time I go searching for comic news they've got some new gimmick. (See my “jumping the shark” newspost, about Archie being killed off)
This time, they've added yet another character to the Archie comics line up in an ...
