Girls With Comics

Looks like the Spanish speaking world got it first!

It just doesn’t do it for me. Maybe it is trying to go for the Iron Man crowd, but you see, as a part of that crowd, I was actually excited for Iron Man 1 & 2. This elicits no excitement; just a great sense of uneasiness. Too much CGI, that must be it.

Because this teaser from Entertainment Tonight makes it look *horrible*;

 The Walking Dead was on at 10, and not 9! But if you were like me, you were pleasantly surprised that another zombie movie was on before! And if you were especially liked me, you then changed it to HBO to watch ‘Boardwalk Empire’.

Well, The Walking Dead. It opened up with zombies, it ended with zombies. It is a wonderful adaptation of the comic, and the actors they picked were excellent. The story had a wonderful sad undertone to it, and there were a few times where I wanted to cry over zombies. This series will hopefully get better (and not sink). The makeup and special effects were also awesome, as those zombies looked liked zombies.

Oh and sad face for the horse. 😦

So for those of you not in the know, there is this spectacular comic series called Lenore, by Roman Dirge. Originally published by Slave Labor, it is now under Titan Comics. However, it still takes roughly 30 years between issues for one to come out.

I guess those 30 years have passed, because a new issue is coming out! According to the email we got this morning…

“Titan Comics is pleased to announce the return of Lenore, the cute little dead girl, with the release of issue #2 of Roman Dirge’s cult comic, Lenore!

“He loved with a love that was more than love.”

After years of shocking physical and mental abuse, extreme violence and unnecessary brutality it looks as if Mr. Gosh’s feelings of unrequited love for Lenore have finally turned? Only time and the twisted creative genius of Roman Dirge can tell.

Featuring more gruesomely grisly tales of Lenore and her demented menagerie of twisted friends, this second chapter in the rebirth of Lenore sees Mr.Gosh, Lenore’s long-suffering unrequited paramour, take centre stage.

Lenore #2 will be a must have for all Lenore fans as for the first time, Dirge reveals Lenore’s surname! A teaser trailer to promote this new issue is available on YouTube.

To celebrate the return of Lenore, last year’s hit issue #1 is being re-solicited with a brand new exclusive cover by Dirge!

Retailers can order Lenore #2 and issue #1 with this new limited edition collector’s cover from November’s Diamond Previews. For more information see Titan Comics Lenore advert and listing within the Comics & Graphic Novel section in Previews.

Take a trip into the dark, surreal world of Roman Dirge!

That’s right kids! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Halloween!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

So if you’re like me, you most likely have to work the next day. Now, at the place I work at, I get up at 4:30am every morning. That means that Sunday-Thursday I’m usually in bed and asleep no later than 10. This is harder on Sunday since Boardwalk Empire is on, and let’s be real. That show is fucking awesome.

Back to my point. If you’re a lame duck like me, you’re gonna be home on Halloween. Thankfully there is tons to watch/read to celebrate the gothiest goth day of the year.

Comics:
Lenore- I love Lenore, the cute little dead girl. You can pick up graphic novels at any comic book store, and they are worth it. Funny, short stories makes up the bulk of the Lenore comics, but every once in a while an actual plot will come out. But don’t worry, they’re not hard to follow. (You could also read any other Slave Labor comic, such as Gloom Cookie or JTHM.)

The Walking Dead- ZOMBIES, MOTHER FUCKER. That’s all you need to know.

Batman: The Long Halloween- The title pretty much gives it away. This graphic novel by Tim Sale and Jeph Loeb is brilliant, if not one of the top 10 best Batman novels ever. In my opinion, at least.

Wolverine Goes To Hell-So far this series has been entertaining, and Hell fits in perfectly with Halloween.

T.V!

The Walking Dead- ZOMBIES PREMIER ON AMC AT 9PM ON HALLOWEEN, MOTHER FUCKER.

Batman and Robin- Because only a true horror, known as this movie, should be watched on Halloween.

The Evil Dead- Back in the day Bruce Campbell was a sexy, sexy guy. Even with a chainsaw for a hand.

Ringu- You know, this is the only movie that has ever honestly freaked me out. The American movie, not so much. But this version left me fearful of my television set for weeks.

And with that, may you have a safe and happy Halloween!
