“

I quit my day job on Monday.

It was the second career change I’ve hit in the past month. ComicsAlliance closed a month ago. I knew the Friday before the news broke across the comics internet. It was a surprise, and an unpleasant one, but I took the weekend to get used to the idea and start making plans for the future. I worked through it, got over it, and moved on before everyone else found out it happened.

- Life is illmatic. | word…life

“It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday” or “I’m not as aloof as I like to think I am.”

Life is ill, sometimes life might kill. Big changes in progress.

THAT IS THE END of my story from Cautionary Fables and Fairy Tales, the anthology where we adapted old fairy tales into a comic. You can pick up a copy of the book here! Thank you for indulging me a week off while also giving you a bunch of comics? It is weird.

“Another interesting thing about these movies is that they’re really stupid. I say that with nothing but admiration. Complex world-building? Pious power-and-responsibility sermonizing? Character development? I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF THIS SOUPED-UP ENGINE REVVING. No action franchise is more up-front about how all it wants to do is zoom-zoom-zoom-zoom and take your money; story- and characterwise, no franchise does more with less. So how’s this one? It’s great. It’s crack. It gets you really high. It’s automatically at least 17 percent less fun than Fast Five because Fast Five was an Ocean’s-on-taurine heist film and this one’s a Die Hard–esque gotta-stop-the-terrorists drama, but it’s no less crammed with twisted metal pirouetting in the air and people with special skills saying “I got this!” into walkie-talkies.

Maybe too full. Lin has called this one his “Robert Altman ensemble piece,” and as completely ridiculous statements go, that one is pretty accurate.”

- Alex Pappademas writing about the the Fast & Furiousverse. (I love that all of those movies are prequels to a movie I’ve never seen— I don’t know what that means but it almost sounds like a metaphor). ”I got this!” (via twiststreet)

David Tries to Talk About Music: "Black Skinhead.":

daviduzumeri:

It’s 1996. I’ve finally broken past the parental wall (actually self-inflicted due to having nightmares from other stuff by the same dude) and gotten a copy of The Downward Spiral. “Hurt” ends for …

I should probably figure out how to have it autopost. I was pretty self-effacing in the initial draft, but I’m kinda happy with how this came out.

Akira Report

Documentary from 1994 about the animated film, with lots of production footage(closeups of backgrounds being painted HELLO), interviews, and super awkward dubbing/narration. Some great stuff in this, including a part where Otomo defends against accusations of drawing “plain” looking girls rather than super cute ones(followed by a weird moment where the narrator sort of makes light of the scene where Kaori gets sexually assaulted by the clowns).

The cover from issue #1 of Richard Corben’s adaptation of Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher, out last Wednesday from Dark Horse. Great stuff, creepy and macabre in that old-school way.

first part of this update is over here!!!

This week I am bringing to you my story from Cautionary Fables and Fairy Tales, the anthology where we adapted old fairy tales into a comic. I did an obscure one called (as you can see) the Singing Bone. I did it starring the rabbits too. SO, what the hell, this week we will see the whole thing.
