After finishing Camelot, I started wondering about the seeds Willingham was planting that point toward very bad things happening to Fabletown and the Farm where our various heroes and anti-heroes make their homes. The series has had a couple of board-clearing events in the past but this one felt different. Turns out I was right. Last year, Willingham announced he was ending both Fables and the spinoff, Fairest, this summer. Specifically the last issue will come out July 22, 2015 and be 150 pages long. […]
Maybe Everything Isn’t Hopeless Bullshit
I was a big fan of the Hyperbole and a Half blog so I kept meaning to get around to reading this memoir/graphic novel by Allie Brosh, but for some reason it kept getting pushed to the bottom of my reading pile. Maybe subconsciously I was saving it for a low point, some future time when I needed a serious laugh. I’m glad I saved it because it was just the medicine I needed when I was sick and stuck in bed for a week. […]
Nuke B-Gone
About a week ago Facebook friend and fellow Pajiban, Vermillion, started posting images from something called Atomic Robo. This is the post that really grabbed me.–> OBVIOUSLY, I needed to know more. It turns out the dinosaur is Dr. Dinosaur and he is possibly Atomic Robo’s enemy, or frenemy. I don’t really know, because he hasn’t shown up yet. Atomic Robo was built by Nikola Tesla. He is a self-aware robot. An adventurer with a wry and biting sense of humor. He is a core […]
Detective Boobs Fights Ghosties
These two graphic novels, The Unknown and The Unknown: Devil Made Flesh, were good enough, but I was repeatedly sucked right out of the story by the main character’s overdone breasts. Let me explain. Here’s the description: “Revered as the smartest person alive, Catherine Allingham is the world’s most famous provate investigator. Follow her adventures as she sets out to solve the one mystery she’s never been able to crack-death!” These were the covers that enticed me to pick these up at the […]
More Outlander Is Good, But This Version of Outlander Is Not For Me
“Experience Jamie’s Side of the Story!” The cover cries and who am I to turn down the loan of any Outlander material, in particular that provided by our Fearless Leader, Mswas? In fact, once finished reading it, I sealed the book in a plastic bag, not out of an ill-advised and biology-misunderstanding need for revenge, but to make sure I didn’t accidentally get butter on it. Scoff if you will, but you would be amazed how many of my personal papers have grease marks. I […]
Fairy Tales Are Just That
I went into Fables with no real expectations (lies) but I guess framed against the two things that I have seen on TV– The Charmings (which Wikipedia tells me aired from 1987-88 but I must’ve only watched one show or two) and Once Upon a Time–no offense to anyone if either or both of these things are your “thing” but because of this, I was more wary than excited to read it. This made little sense because I’ve only seen good reviews and I’m always […]
