The Walking Dead #138
Let’s be honest for a minute. The Walking Dead has its ups and downs, but for the most part, it’s a solid comic. I thoroughly enjoyed issue #137 and I gushed all over it when I reviewed it. Sadly, issue #138 wasn’t as exciting. It was a good issue and it moved the story along, […]
The Walking Dead 8-bit Cinema
It’s the day of The Walking Dead season 5 finale, and you find yourself unable to remember major plot points. Who was Lori hooking up with in the grass? Who killed Shane and his meaty, meaty earlobes? Is Merle still around? The Governor: Good or bad? With only hours until the finale, the time isn’t […]
“I Luv You, HB” Demos
Since the day I first heard the pounding drums and nearly perfect guitar intro of Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings, I have been craving more Father John Misty. Fear Fun, the 2012 release from Josh Tillman’s drug-fueled alter ego, was in heavy rotation for months after its release, then before this tour stop at Pittsburgh’s Mr. […]
Chrononauts #1
What is Chrononauts? Hmmm, it’s like Punk Rock Jesus meets Back to the Future. In other words, it’s pure gold. If you are not familiar with the work of Mark Millar (Superman: Red Son, Civil War, Wanted, Kick Ass, Jupiter’s Legacy, I could go on and on) then you must be a hermit. Wait – […]
Daredevil Netflix Show
A couple days ago, the trailer for Daredevil dropped and it was good – real, good. You better believe that when it hits Netflix on April 10th I’m going to be binging on it like the Kingpin does Twinkies. The show makes no apologies for being grounded in the source material. Gone is the red […]
5th Ave Coffee Co
With its prime location on the corner of 5th Ave and 6th St, not only is 5th Avenue Coffee Company is must visit, it is a can’t miss. Day and night, people are congregated at the shop’s outdoor seating eating, drinking and watching as 5th Avenue life passes before their eyes. You’ll see tiny dogs, […]
Star Wars #1 (Vol. 2)
I know we are only in March of 2015, but the most anticipated comic series of the year has been released, Marvel’s Star Wars (Vol. 2). An estimated 1 million copies of the first printing of issue #1 were sold in January, which is crazy-ridiculous. To put it in perspective, the comic that came in […]
Old Chicago Pizzeria – Naples
When you think of the best foods of Naples, Florida, certain items spring to mind. Most of them will revolve thematically around fresh, local ingredients and the best the sea has to offer. You think deep-fried Grouper sandwiches, steamed mussels, Chicago deep-dish pizza and handmade, fresh pastas covered in a white wine and garlic reduction. […]
The Walking Dead #137
The Walking Dead is one of my favorite comics of all time because it keeps you guessing. While reading it, I will find myself going, “Holy crap, I can’t believe that just happened!” Then I’ll turn the page and be like, “Holy *BLEEP*, I can’t believe THAT just happened!” You just don’t know what horror […]
Cherry Whiskey Challenge
For me, the appeal of alcohol took a nosedive following my 21st birthday, and although life has changed a great deal since then, one constant remains: the need to cover up and/or numb myself to my crippling emotional pain. Of course, that is an exaggeration. My emotional pain is far from crippling. A wise man […]
