GWAR Orgasageddon (#3)

Some may think that they make an aweful racket but, I like thier music and this comic is just perfect as GWAR jump from past to present even getting a chance to meet themselves as they pay tribute to a fallen member by using his quotes from the past to create his dialogue in the book. Not sure what I mean? Get a copy and see for yourself as there is so much to enjoy for fans of the band as the laughs just keep coming and don't let up for a second!

Ghostbusters 101 (#6)

All hands on deck as the Ghostbusters join forces with the new ones from an alternate dimension to help fix the problem of 2 New York Cities! I am guessing that you can guess the ending and what happened but, I must say that overall, the story was much better then I would have anticipated it to be! Oh! the art by Schoening is fantastic as always as IDW just continues to knock it out of the park in keeping the fans happy with their use so far of the license! So, when there's trouble like this, the answer to who are you going to call is EVERYONE!

KISS (#10)

In this ending, we get all the answers as both Blackwell and the ship of Japanese survivors decide to Rock and head back to Earth from Space. Though it is more complicated then that this is an enjoyable yet simple conclusion to the story that has spanded 10 issue. Do I wish to see what their return to Earth is like? Yeah! Am I going to enjoy this anyway? You bet! Great work by all involved as I hope there is more coming from Dynamite and their use to the license.

KISS/Vampirellla (#4)

Here we have some more questions answered as both KISS and Vamp join forces to battle both demons and soft Rock in LA! This story keeps getting better as more and more layers are added on to make the story both complex and interesting for fans of either one! Include some awesome art and some laughs from Ace and you have a winner as the conclusion comes near!

KISS/Vampirella (#3)

In this issue, we have the members of KISS finding out some ugly truth while Vamp is licking her wounds from the nght before. The art and story are spot on thus far as oth parties are trying to navigate what is happening in this new LA as we finally get some answers to many questions in this short mini series crossover!

Michale Graves - The World Turned Upside Down

For 20 years now, Michale Graves has been wowing audiences both live and in his recording output. This new album is no different as the full band accompaniment of his previous album Backroads pours from my speakers with both power and intensity. Although the cover looks like something from a Horror movie, this music is more Classic Rock infused then it is Horror Punk but it is still enjoyable. I like this album a lot actually, almost as much as the acoustic album if not more. It is tough for me to choose. You can feel the emotion in the songs as Michale pours his heart into his voice and delivers some awesome music. Grab yourself a copy and you will see what I mean. This is a monster of an album although there is no monsters to speak of.

In Memoriam Tobe Hooper

From the man who spawned a genre of Horror, leaving a path of blood and gore for so many to follow in the wake of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, we saw goodbye to the legend in Tobe Hooper. From that movie alone, he earns mention as one of the greatest ever but, that was not all. From Texas Chainsaw Massacre II, Poltergeist, Salem's Lot and The Fun House among other great movies he directed both his presence and style ring long and true to many genre fans. Although he is gone, his movies are still with us as new generations discover the brilliance of the man and the legend. Rest in peace good sir, you've left a bloody, body part filled, messy path for so many to follow and enjoy with your exit.
