Ghostbusters (#18)

Well the 30th anniversary celebration with part 6 of the Mass Hysteria storyline. Vigo is back....and pissed! Ray is talking with Gozer while his sister Tiamat is causing chaos in New York. Dana and Louis are possessed as the pets of Tiamat so, Egon and Kylie try to trap the essence without killing them. This story has so much going on and so many laughs that, as a fan, there is much to enjoy. The art takes you back to a better time and the characters....they do them perfectly. Get on this asap! With the storyline and series coming to an end in two issues....you'll be sad and sorry if you don't.

New Avengers (#21)

All good questions and, with this great art and great story, the real question is....can you destroy a world? Take a second and think about it...can you destroy a world in order to save your own? It's the question that is burning throughout this issue and the answer will shock you....go and read to find out what I mean.

Deadpool: Dracula's Gauntlet (#4)

Well true believers, the weekly comic series continues with tons of jokes, blood, werewolves, vampires, one of those robot vacuums and the Merc with a Mouth falling in love. What can I say? This story is really fun! You will laugh and smile and laugh and smile and I loved the Ghostbusters joke he makes. If you haven't gotten into this miniseries yet, DO IT! You'll thank me later, I swear. The only thing I would of suggested is that it was to make it part of the ongoing series as opposed to a weekly miniseries. Makes people think it is just a cash grab leaving people out in the cold with the awesomeness of the story that this is.

In Memoriam: Dick Wagner

The man has played with Billy Joel, Aerosmith, Lou Reed and Kiss but, his most notable time in the studio (and on the stage) will always be his time with Alice Cooper. Having played (usually uncredited) with the original band (beginning with School's Out) before joining his solo band starting with Welcome to my Nightmare until the awesome Hey Stoopid album (with the exception of the 3 comeback albums Cooper made when he sobered up), he was a major part of the band for a really long time. He even returned to the band for one album when Cooper did the follow up to his original (and my favorite solo album) Welcome 2 my Nightmare. Alice Cooper's Go to Hell, Lace and Whiskey and From the Inside. Think of all the awesome guitar work and solos this man has done. All the amazing songs he co wrote like "Only Women Bleed". Ask yourself if Cooper's solo work would be the same without him? The man was an amazing, talented player who was taken away from us. He will be missed. So, from the inside of our hearts, you will be missed.

Think about all the classics like

Demoni - Day of Demoni

Want some in your face Rockabilly with a Horror twist? Well, unlike the zombies on the cover, this is an all out, balls out fury attack that doesn't let up from beginning to end. Demoni bring it with punding bass and fast pace rock that just doesn't let up. The songs are quick, short and memorable. With all this fury, I wonder how the singer keeps up the intensity throughout the album....maybe the instrumentals help him to relax and recoup. With that said, standouts for me include "And Now the Screaming Starts", "They Crawl", "Night of the Creeps", "No Pain No Gein", "Beware the Moon" and "Session 9". Now that you've heeded my warning....RUN FOR YOUR LIVES....and grab this album. 

Spooky Jefferson's Ideal Lunchbox - House of Dolls

Here we have some spooky Ska curtsey of Spooky Jefferson's Ideal Lunchbox. The music is catchy in that Ska sort of way that brings to mind Operation Ivy at times and the touch of horror is a nice touch. Also, his vocals are awesomely over the top...the dude is having fun and you can tell! Even the lyrics are over the top and fun. Standouts for me include the spooky instrumental opener "Spooky's Lunchbox", "Aliens" and "Freak Show". Now, lets see what else he has in that lunchbox that he's willing to share.

Public Service Announcement: Darrow Chemical Company on the Natural Born Grillers Tour

That's right folks! J.V. Bastard, Loki and company are zig zagging across the U.S.A. with their punk rock flag in toe, destroying every stage they hit. If you're in a city they're coming, you owe yourself to go watch them live!
