In Memoriam: Lemmy

One of the most important musicians in Rock has passed as we lose an icon in Lemmy. From his loud as hell bass playing to his amazing songwriting chops, the man was a legend and inspiration to us all. When you saw Motorhead live, you left deaf and happy. No disappointment as Lemmy and company delivered a blistering set night in and night out. The man was everything Rock N' Roll embodied, enough said. Lately, he has been sick and, though he is now at peace I still miss him. The man was an inspiration both musically and personally to me and so many around the globe. There will never be another like him or another band like Motorhead. So, turn the stereo up to 11 and play the music of one of the greatest musicians ever. R.I.P. Lemmy,  we'll miss you.

So continue to read or send me stuff to review, I always look forward to what you ghouls are doing then, the pleasure of telling the world about it.

So stay creepy everyone,

In Memoriam: Brooke McCarter

Today, we have lost another star from the movie Lost Boys. Brooke McCarter or, better known as Paul to fans of the movie, has passed. For those who don’t know of the movie, it is maybe the most important vampire movie to come out in the last 30 years in my honest opinion. The movie is that good. Everyone in that movie played an important role in making that movie what it is. Brooke McCarter played a role next to Sutherland that took that movie from just a so so idea to something that means so much to so many all these years later. R.I.P man, you may not have done that many roles but, the one you are most well known for will never be forgotten.

Escape from New York (#13)

SNAKE IS RETIRED! My guess is that this may have happened after LA but I am not a 100% sure. So, the government just doesn't want to leave him and his dog alone. Thus, Snake is out for blood! Yes, this is a great story and, with word of only 3 issues left I wonder how it will all end for Snake...or if this leads to LA.

Gotham by Midnight (#12)

So, the cover suggests that this is the final issue and, if it is what a way to go! The battle for the soul of the city is raging on as the Nun and the Specter rage on against an ancient evil bringing the unjustified dead souls killed in the city back to life. Mayhem is all around and, it is just great! If this is the final issue they went out on a bang. If this is just the end of the story line, I cannot wait to see where it all goes next!

Krampus: The Shadow of Saint Nicholas

Though I have not seen the movie yet, I REALLY WANT TO! Especially, after reading the book. Krampus himself appears very little but, when he does, you know shit is going down! Great art, great stories as this is a caution to those who are assholes around Christmas time. I know there would be a temptation to overuse the character in which the title is named after but, I am glad that they didn't over saturate him. They do the same for Sam in the movies and graphic novels and that works great. So, bring on the movie as the book or, as it is advertised, prequel has my mouth watering for more!

Big Trouble in Little China (#19)

Well, the cover makes no sense but, the story picks up the slack with an awesome story for the post-Carpenter/Powell era. Burton is head to head with someone resembling Harry Potter, Egg is helping without him knowing, the girls are out to stop the demon and....there's tears. This is an entertaining story with some great art. Though it does not reach the level of the initial run it is good non the less and makes up for the story line before this where there was a lot to be desired.
