The more I see David Bowie's face, the more I feel like he was the primary inspiration for Kojima's MGS3 character The Boss. They may be different genders, but their faces look really similar. Totally see it; however, Kojima has also gone on the record that The Boss is modelled after a younger Char...

Green Arrow Rebirth The Batman and Superman Rebirth one-shots were kind of cool (albeit non-events serving little other than as expository set-up for the coming #1s), but Green Arrow Rebirth is a fucking awesome little comic book in my opinion. It's self-righteous and self-deprecating at the same t...

Really galling news. Going to be interested to see if they actually explain why they've cancelled it in their press release/statement other than vague, empty niceties. All my hopes and dreams rest on Visage now.

Cats are the master race. Also, glad to see you're liking Saga , Bags. It's a series that also manages to get EVEN BETTER as it goes on, based on characterisation and character interaction alone, although it helps that there are some fucking awesome page-turners in the mix as well. Brian K Vaughan i...

So, a typical Friday night, then?

I lose my shit every time that trippy melody appears at the peak; Vatican Shadow at its most conventional, actual dance music, even though I love all the ambient and drone stuff too. But this song, its had its hooks in my soul for what feels like so long now, and yeah; it took me ages looking and it...

Fuck. Me. Sideways. Dominick Fernow has finally dropped a Vatican Shadow track from his upcoming album that he's been playing the last couple years live, a track that has been haunting me in my dreams, restlessly: https://soundcloud.com/factmag/vatican-shadow-more-of-the-same As soon as I heard thos...

Awesome! Let me know what you think; really looking forward to your opinions, man. Both are phenomenal and very different kinds of sci-fi.

Omega Men #12 The perfect end to an amazing series. Not gonna lie, the finale to this one's a doozy and will bum you the fuck out. Major spoilers, major image dump and potentially soul-crushing content. http://i.imgur.com/YZkquKsh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/K2G2FQRh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/bOuuiXPh.jpg ...

I'm waiting for the trade on Multiversity. I may pick up the Valiant stuff, the Stalin thing looks really interesting. As your attorney, I advise you to expedite your procurement of The Multiversity . It's basically the sequel to Final Crisis and the next stage in Morrison's "Fifth World Saga&...

I was going to start reading cape books monthly again but you know what, fuck this. Dude, if I may be frank, fuck this gimmick bullshit and pay attention to real comics. Like the head of Image said recently, "Creatively, the golden age of comics is now," and it's true: Image, Vertigo, Val...

Other than dumb villain milking I think I like this. Could be a good storyline if they handle it right. Make Doc Manhattan the embodiment of the grim tone the comic industry took after misunderstanding Watchmen. Just circling back on some of the comments now that I've read through the thread; I thi...

DC Universe Rebirth http://i.imgur.com/rHRLJw3.gif It's late, my eyes ache and I need to go to bed, but an initial thought that comes to me is that there's a certain character from Morrison's Multiversity ; The Empty Hand is Dr Manhatten corrupted by The Gentry just with shades of Ultra...

Did you see 1980 and 1983, Traj? I really like the first one but haven't seen the other two yet. In regards to 1974 alone, I get what you're saying about emotional narrative pay-off, especially considering the ending is so downbeat. I still think it's an amazing movie, though.

In the Year of Our Lord 1974 (2009): The first instalment in the Red Riding Trilogy, rewatched it after having somehow forgotten about it almost completely recently. Now I want to curl up and die and stay home for the rest of the week; what a bleak but beautifully effecting movie. Basically True De...

Yes! About time; not having the rest in the 3-in-1/omnibus format was driving me quietly mad.
