Friday Recommendation: The Alcoholic

By | Feb 3, 2012 | Columns

In December, as I was mourning the cancellation of Bored to Death, HBO’s half-hour sitcom featuring Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifiankis and Ted Danson, I came across a book I decided to buy for my wife for Christmas. She, too, loved Bored to Death, and so when I saw The Alcoholic, written by Jonathan Ames and […]

Friday Recommendation: American Vampire

By | Jan 27, 2012 | Columns

Yes, we get it, vampires are done to undeath at this point. And, yes, it’s even more tired to acknowledge this.

Friday Recommendation – Skullkickers

By | Dec 2, 2011 | Columns

For the last year, I’ve written quite a bit about Image Comics’ off-beat fantasy/action series Skullkickers and virtually every time I do so, I make note of the fact that its “the fantasy crap that I actually like” or “weird fantasy that works” or in the case of the labels for this very article, “fantasy […]

Friday Recommendation: The Sixth Gun

By | Nov 25, 2011 | Columns

If you read the site at all, you should know that this is a popular book among everyone here. We ran an Off the Cape on the book some time ago, and we recently started a feature called Haunted Trails, dedicated exclusively to discussing The Sixth Gun and what it’s all about. We even cast […]
