I read this old comic and...


"Smash Heads on a Kill-Riddle" is an expression I need to fit into everyday life.

Also this.

Manga legends Monkey Punch (Lupin III) and Koike Kazuo (Lone Wolf and Cub) died this week.  They will be missed.

I don't do a lot of anime and manga, but Lupin III is one I recommend in a heartbeat. The Manga is great pulpy fun if you can get past Monkey Punch's confusingly-similar character designs and tendency to slip in half-naked women whenever he could.

if you can get past ... tendency to slip in half-naked women whenever he could.

This might be a selling point for some. lol

The highlight for me is always the new issue of The Tick, but I've been wanting to check out the Stranger Things comic, and I'm not one to turn down a free Spider-Man comic.

First West Coast Avengers, then Spider-Man/Deadpool (Seriously a better Deadpool book than Deadpool) and now this. My pull list is looking kind of light.

If you would have told me when I was a kid that some day there would be a comic book crossover between Transformers and Star Trek it would have blown my goddamn mind. Yet here we are, 30-something years later with that exact crossover just released today through Amazon.

These two from my collection are the crossovers that would've sufficiently blown my little child mind:

i think archie and the punisher is still one of the weirdest ones.

I was keeping this one up my sleeve, but I think it's time I play it.... Don Rickles Meets Jimmy Olsen!
