Saturday Recommendation: Mondo Urbano

By | Jul 31, 2010 | Columns

2010 has so far been a year filled with hotly anticipated titles, but for me, Oni’s Mondo Urbano may have been the one that excited me the most. Created by one of my favorite artists in Rafael Albuquerque along with his collaborators and countrymen Mateus Santolouco and Eduardo Medeiros, this book fancied itself a “sex, drugs […]

By | Jul 31, 2010 | Columns

We all L.O.V.E.D. S.W.O.R.D. Why is “love” an acronym? For effect really; but the book was one of our favorites, and we all lamented its demise. It sort of had the same life as a show on FOX. Great concept, brilliant execution, and a rabid cult following. But that cult following didn’t blossom as well […]

By | Jul 30, 2010 | News

It seems Fábio Moon is visiting Portland, Oregon (the rising Mecca of American comics), and while he and Craig Thompson (his host in Stumptown) are together they are tracking their activities with a “blog war.” “Blog War” may be a bit melodramatic for what this actually is, but as Craig Thompson notes on his site, […]

Discussion Review: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

By | Jul 30, 2010 | Reviews

Yesterday you saw my review of Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, and today we’re bringing you Matt and I’s takes. Given that Matt and I are very, very different when it comes to both comics and movies (for the most part), odds are this was going to provide highly disparate takes. Or would […]

Threadless, one of the most well known community-run online apparel stores is offering you the chance to have a t-shirt you design featured in an upcoming issue of John Layman’s Chew. The only restriction is that it has to be related to comics, but I’m sure if you’re reading our website that should be no […]

Review: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

By | Jul 29, 2010 | Reviews

Sure, Edgar Wright’s adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim series isn’t coming until August 13th, but that doesn’t mean we won’t have features about the film itself ahead of time. While we’re not part of the cool kids who saw it at SDCC, the sneak previews around the nation last night did give a […]
