You Are Here

by Plus/Minus

Good driving, sitting, waiting, listening music. The opening beat pulses against your cranium, forcing you to notice it and then receding back into the background, behind the lyrics.

Great Series, not the best part of it (rated 3 stars)

Y: The Last Man Vol. 8 - Kimono Dragons

by Brian K. Vaughan

This particular part of the series feels like it’s still moving the story along, but not doing much for your guts. I wasn’t as into this as I have been the other books in the series. It feels shorter as well, a little more rushed, than the other parts have been, but I’m sure it’s just setting the stage for the rest of the play.

Why I recommend "Hedwig and the Angry Inch (New Line Platinum Series)"

Hedwig and the Angry Inch (New Line Platinum Series)

The music is awesome in this. I love the idea that there were three sexes until the gods got angry and split everyone in two and people are just trying to reattach themselves to each other when they get it on. That’s better than a lot of religious myths I’ve heard.

Why I recommend "Jenny and the Jaws of Life: Short Stories"

Jenny and the Jaws of Life: Short Stories

by Jincy Willett

Amazing short story collection. Whenever I lend this one out I have to buy a new copy because no one gives it back.

A story about the last time I consumed "The Pro"

The Pro

by Garth Ennis

Christmas morning, my brother and I huddled around my new oversized copy of The Pro and read it. He didn’t let me turn the pages until he’d finished reading the one we were on.

I met the artist at a Baltimore comic con before I’d ever heard of the book. She was awful nice. I was more impressed when I googled her later on, after my sister made such a big deal about having met her, that she’d worked on Soul Searchers. My sister is the one who’s into comics. I read everything.

It’s an awesome book. Really well drawn. A hooker gets super powers. Deliciously satirical hijinks ensue.

If you liked Transmetropolitan or Watchmen, you’ll love it.
