“Dracula, Motherf**ker”

By | Nov 17, 2020 | Reviews

Vampires, and Dracula in particular, go through cycles. We’re seeing a resurgence again after a long fallow period and this means that we get both derivative works and wild and fun takes on the characters (like this one.) So break out your bell bottoms, prepare for paisley, and get ready for everything to be on the verge of a bad trip in “Dracula, Motherf**ker.”

“Sneeze”

By | Nov 12, 2020 | Reviews

“Kick Ass vs. Hit Girl” #1

By | Nov 12, 2020 | Reviews

I was never the biggest fan of the Kick Ass franchise, but I liked the movies and I understand why it’s popular. Mark Millar’s violent, bloody, and kind of icky take on superheroes is a definite product of its time in that it provided a deconstructionist view of the sub genre that showed audiences that […]
