This Marvel horror anthology tends to have more hits than misses, and that's okay. When the hits come, they are pretty good. In this issue's case, it's the middle of three stories. It's all about a man shipwrecked on a deserted island who has a compu ...more

This is, and will probably forever be, the only issue of "Cerebus" I've read. And I only read it because the Flaming Carrot is in it. Cerebus is a celebrated character, and what Dave Sim pulled off with it is an amazing feat of independence. I just ne ...more

"Black Widow: Web of Intrigue" is a reprint of four issues of "Marvel Fanfare" that first appeared in 1982. Back then, Marvel movies weren't an event, and the Widow character was one that could only be found in supporting roles, so if you were a Wido ...more

Quotes by Doug Brunell (?)

“For some reason I took the idea that she was slightly interested in me and turned it into the insane idea that she was interested only in me. Here was proof that this wasn’t the case. Son of a bitch. Here it was. Proof once again that what I really wanted wasn’t meant to be. One more female, who in one way or another, let me down. And through a text, no less. I’m sure she didn’t mean it to be crushing, but Jessica, like most women I knew, had no idea of their power sometimes. A few simple words to them could be a mountain dropped on a man’s head.”
