Imagined conversations between President Bill Clinton and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair have gone viral on social media. Following the release of 530 pages of declassified conversations between the political leaders from 1997 to 2000, comedian Michael Spicer created parody chats poking fun at the pair’s dynamic, which he then posted on Twitter. The mock transcripts see Blair trying to keep the conversation on track as Clinton veers off into strange asides about the castle at Disneyland and spinning plates.

Mythic #3
Written by Phil Hester
Art by John McCrea
Published by Image Comics, Inc.
A giant baby who wrestles enormous lizards? A restless spirit who can’t move on because she doesn’t believe in the afterlife? A two-eyed cyclops janitor who is now a field team member? It must be time for a new issue of Mythic. This series offers up a universe where science is a lie and magic and myth are what keep the universe in balance. When things start to fall apart the members of Mythic Lore Services step in to clean things up. This premise allows for a multitude of strange possibilities, some of which take center stage in issues one and two, but issue three takes an even bigger leap into the weirdness than the first two.
In case you only skimmed the first paragraph, Mythic #3 introduces a giant baby– complete with diaper – who...

Dead Drop #1
Writer – Ales Kot
Artist – Adam Gorham
Colourist – Michael Spicer
Letterer – Dave Sharpe
Publisher – Valiant Entertainment
Valiant has been putting the pedal to the metal in 2015 through their multiple mini series’ alone. The Valiant brought upon an epic tale that felt like a historically twisted fairy tale in which some major players in the Valiant universe played a key role, and Divinity revealed a new and very powerful individual whose abilities from the far reaches of the cosmos have been brought to Earth. With a wide array of absolute top-notch creative teams on these books alone, the trifecta, the triumvirate, the third eye, if you will, is now found within the team behind Dead Drop.
It doesn’t take very long for the action to take hold and grab you. The opening page shows a graceful Aric Dacia, better known as X-o Manowar, flying rapidly down overtop Times Square in New York City.

So this week I ended up grabbing physical copies of the comics I usually review for the website. It occurred to me, while at the shop, that the money I was spending digitally to get my comics would be better spent at the comic book shop I love so much. But then, when I got home, I remembered: oh yeah, I have to actually put these comics somewhere. I considered having a contest to give them away when I’m done reviewing them but that would seem like bribing readers and that’s not something I condone. Plus, I’m not sure I’d give away the comics I actually enjoyed. I just don’t quite know what to do with the failures and I can’t predict what’s going to be a failure reliably enough to avoid them. So, sadly, I’ll be returning to digital issues next week,...

Halloween looms ever closer, my fiends. Can you taste it? Smell it? Hear it?
Find quiet. Settle your thoughts. Be still.
Alone. Look out your window into the night.
It’s there. Just out of sight. It’s waiting for you to leave your car, or your home, or your job. It waits in the places between.
Halloween wants you.
Wants to be you.
You think you wear it, like a mask, but the truth? It’s you that’s being worn.
It draws near…
Wytches #1
Writer: Scott Snyder
Artist: Jock
Colorist: Matt Hollingsworth
Publisher: Image Comics
Price: $3 (Digital)
Me and writer Scott Snyder have a history. In 2011 I was introduced to his work via Severed, his debut at Image Comics. Up until that point, he’d been known mostly for working with DC/Vertigo, as a Batman writer or on a Stephen King-headed series, American Vampire, neither of which interested me.

I’ve turned over a new leaf. You see, I passed up an opportunity this week. I could’ve reviewed the much anticipated Grendel Vs The Shadow crossover and passed up on either Alice Cooper or the new Silent Hill comic, even though they actually fit better the horror movie format of Destroy The Brain. But I didn’t! So instead you get three reviews of three horror comics, and I’m going to try to stick more to horror comics from here on out, when I can.
Full disclosure; the Grendel Vs The Shadow comic is $6! Honestly, this pretty well scared me away from doing it even more. Sure, I probably could’ve just reviewed that and skipped Alice Cooper and Silent Hill, but that would’ve been even more of a betrayal of Destroy The Brain.
You can trust me to be honest about these things. Really, you can.
