Hellboy: Library Edition Volume 6 - The Storm and the Fury/The Bride of Hell

This is the story that Mike and the boys have been building to for almost twenty years! Every prophecy, story, enemy, it all comes to head as Hellboy battles it out one more time with the fate of the world on the line! Yes, this is the edition where Hellboy dies and returns to Hell. For owners of the previous editions, you know how gorgeous and packed they are! Duncan's art is presented in it's original size as he draws out the story that Mike has put forth for us. The story is massive, amazing, includes some laughs and has you wondering if Hellboy will follow the path that has been laid before him since Seed of Destruction or if he has finally had enough and will do what he wants to do and just be a regular guy saving the world from things that go bump in the night. If you love Hellboy, get your hands on these as they are worth every penny! You'll read them again and again! Included in here are some Hellboy short stories including his drunken haze in Mexico as those short stories (one issue usually) are as much part of the Hellboy lore then the massive mini series like the first part of the book. The sketchbook included as well as the story notes, introductions and afterwords give your some incite or different views of the stories that are much appreciated. In other words, go get yourself a copy of these editions now or else you'll be punched in the face by Hellboy's right hand of doom...BOOM!

The Walking Dead - Volume 19: March to War

Well, on continues the trade paper backs that shows us why the comic is so much more superior then the show! Robert Kirkman takes us through the preparation of Rick and some of the other communities who are now preparing to retaliate against Negan and the Saviors who rule the network of communities, take tributes and just pisses everyone off with their no mercy rules! Charlie Adlard's art is top notch as he draws up the black and white violence and zombies that your eyes cannot look away from! This is the prelude to war as this sets up what will happen next with plenty of action, spilled guts and stories that dwell further into the back stories of some of the characters. If you haven't read these trades yet, get on it! So hard to put down that I basically read this in one sitting! Now, I gotta wait till Volume 20 to watch the war unfold (please no spoilers...I'll be patient and wait for the new book) as the action never lets up in this world of the Walking Dead.

Army of Darkness vs. Hack/Slash (#3 of 6)

HOLY DELAYS PEOPLE! I have been waiting forever for this issue and, it was way worth the wait! A hilariously funny issue with the wit of Cassie Hack and the laughs provided by Ash Williams, they make the best team up in comics today! This is what we wanted and this is what we got! The only downfall is that it is over in 3 issues :(. Tim Seeley writes what we wanna see as the serial killer killer and the chosen one hacks up all these deadabites and stomping on miniature clones created by that damn evil book while Daniel Lesiter gives us all the art in all it's gory glory! In closing...get on this series ASAP! Like now! :D And with a new continuing Army of Darkness series on the horizon, all fans of Ash are just chomping at the bits with the awesomeness of comic releases....hail to the king baby!

Peter Cushing: The Complete Memoirs by Peter Cushing

Now, I know there is one of you out there wondering why I am reviewing an autobiography of an actor and have no idea who he is. The man needs no introduction as seen in maybe his two most memorable roles as Baron Frankenstein bringing the monster(s) to life or battling Christopher Lee's Dracula as Dr. Van Helsing in those Hammer Horror classic movies. This book is a look at the man behind the camera as it collects his two autobiographies (An Autobiography and Past Forgetting) as well as The Story of Peter Cushing which he wrote in 1955 at the height of his TV appearances before Hammer came knocking. This is a biography that talks about his passion for the stage, theater and the love he has for his wife. Not a whole lot of mention of his roles in those iconic Hammer films, as Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Who or Star Wars. For people looking for that or scandalous stories of debauchery, go look elsewhere! For people who are a fan and want to know more about the man and some of his parts, you'll enjoy this read. Okay, as mentioned in the introduction he didn't die just twelve times in film (there was more!) but, at the time the second book was written he was 80 I believe...how much do you want the poor man to remember? It is a good read by one of the best actors the world has ever known who, at the time of the release of this collection, would of been a 100 years old....still much better then 90% of the actors out there today as he reminds you how actors used to be....dedicated to their craft and their audience.

Johnny B. Morbid - Welcome to Die!

They're baaaaaaaaaaaaack! From a one man band in a basement to a 3 piece, Johnny B. Morbid is a band that you can't help but love! His newest release, following a successful Kickstarter campaign, is Welcome to Die! and it is everything you love about his music....and then some! The title is taken from something Magneto used to say in an old X-Men video game, and the video game-esq cover pays homage to that long forgotten era before everything looked 3-D. Taking a cue musically from some of the heaviness off of MoNsTeRpIeCe and the catchy choruses we love from the previous albums, this is but another great album! I mean, if you're a fan, his first album in 4 years is what you have been waiting for (and hoping!) when the band left us all those years ago and entered the eternal blackness. A fine return to form as the band rises from the dead with standouts including the opener "Welcome to Die!". "Population: 0", "Delusions", "Last Day Alive" (which is a great acoustic track), "Enough" and "Erebus" thus far. Now that their back, lets hope they don't dare leave us again!

Ghouls Night Out Presents More Songs to Murder that Special Someone to! (Various Artists)

Like every good, classic horror movie, compilations like the classic Ghouls Night Out Presents Songs to Murder that Special Someone to needs a squeal...or two! In the third installment of the series, Matt Pathetic has gathered some of the best tracks by some of the best bands in the genre! If you can get your damn dirty paws on one, do it! It begins with the awesome "Phasers set to Thrill" by the Black Cat Attack, carried on by great cuts by the Returners, Boneyard and the Stellar Corpses. This brings us to the Serpenteens and the Crypt Keeper Five and their cover of the Misfits "American Nightmare". Throw in some awesome cuts by favorites The Order of the Fly, Argyle Gooslby, Andrew Winter and the Reckless Dodgers doing a cover of the Mister Monster classic "This Night I Call (Bad Luck)" and end it with the fast becoming classic of the Darrow Chemical Company's anthem "WHB" and you have a compilation that is essential to any horror rock fan's collection! If you own this or any of the other two, you know what I am talking about, there is not a bad track on here! If you don't own any? Get on it....or else we'll send Gillman after you!

Army of Darkness/Reanimator (One Shot)

Well, well, well, well, well. Ash Williams and Herbert West meet again in an issue where Ash is thrown back in time to meet the good doctor digging up graves and up to his old tricks (including replacing Ash's hand). It's a fun story, Ash doesn't seem to remember West at first but, he soon does as they're stuck in the 1920s together. Oh, what that evil book won't do to our hero/chosen one. Ash goes to helping Herbert dig up the freshest bodies he can find and, all the gory fun happens and unfolds in a way you expect it to. The art by Randy Valiente is top notch and the writing by Mark Rahner is light and fun as you can tell this release was done with Halloween in mind while keeping in mind fans of both franchisees giving us what we want and what we expect. As well, included in the book is the Reanimator comic (#0) from 2005 I believe? Doesn't matter! It's hard to find and it's a good read itself. If you're looking for some light reading, with some fun and some laughs, check out this new release, you'll be glad you did!
