Guys, I really freaking love Top Chef.

And then there was the time that Namor fought a Nazi Frankenstein.

There are very few Marvel comics that I actively want to write. The Invaders is one of them. Seriously, I could write dudes beating the shit out of Nazis all goddamn day long.

Galactus…

…thinks you need to go get yourself some toilet paper because your lyrics is butt.

A five-word review of Ben Templesmith’s Welcome To Hoxford

Werewolves in prison? Fuck. Yes.

The Rack: At The Movies

So, we’re doing that thing like the Simpsons, where you run your holiday special after the actual event.

Galactus…

…wants all you sucker MCs to please come out and play.

Waimea: “Saffron Joyce Versus Everyone Else, Ever,” Part 01

The next chapter in Waimea starts with our young Saffron waking up. It’s unpleasant for everyone involved, really. It was only after Josh lettered it that I realized how very Scott Pilgrim a title we had going for this section.

OK, fine.

So, yeah, I was lazy when I reposted my 2008 mix and I felt guilty about it, so here’s a quick and dirty Valentine’s Day Minimix for you. There’s a lot of boshing drums and hands in the air bits, but there’s also a song with loud guitars and people screaming about making out for people who like that sort of thing. You can download it here.

Here’s a tracklist:

1. Enjoy The Silence (Ewan Pearson Mix) – Depeche Mode
2. Let’s Make Out (Extended) – Does it Offend You Yeah?
3. Back Of The Van – Ladyhawke
4. Come Into My World (Fischerspooner Remix) – Kylie Minogue
5. Colours (Seamus Haji Remix) – Calvin Harris
6. Hearts On Fire (Calvin Harris Mix) – Cut Copy
7. Miracles (Eric Prydz Remix) – Pet Shop Boys

Repost from 2008: I made you a mixtape.

Yeah, so I heard about you and Matt and I just wanted to say how sorry I was about that because he’s totally being a dick and you deserve better and anyway I made you this tape. The first side’s just some stuff I thought you’d like but the second side I made because I want to tell you something.

It’s just…just listen, OK?

Am I gonna see you in the quad after Mr. Hembree’s class?

Cool. Let me know if you need a ride home – Brian just got his license and I’m going with him!

Here’s a site that sells Star Wars movie posters.

If anyone has a couple grand they can loan me, I have my eyes on a few of these.

The Rack: Friday The 13th

Some would say it’s worse than any slasher movie!

What I’ve Been Reading: The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out

The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out brings together a selection of Adam “Ape Lad” Koford’s take on the crushingly popular online phenom. It takes a hell of a talent to make a combination of internet memes, pop culture references, and outright gleeful idiocy under the premise of collecting a lost comic strip from the early 20th century work, but Koford does it. A lot of the jokes in this volume are ephemeral to be sure, but even something as hackneyed and well-worn as “This! Is! Sparta!” is pulled off with aplomb thanks to fantastic cartooning and an ability to make any reference part of the joke versus serving as a joke on its own.

And then there was the time that Dracula was an even bigger dick to the crew of the Enterprise.

Oh, and before Captain Kirk fought Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula showed up to fuck with the crew.

Let’s Get People Motivated!

Batman, Batman, Batman.

And then there was the time Captain Kirk fought Frankenstein’s monster.

The Rack: Staff Picks For The Week Of February 11, 2009

Surprising some (but not the staff at Yavin IV,) it’s a heck of a week for comics.

Ah, the 1950s.
