Oi, piss off. Hellblazer # 300 comes out today in comic shops everywhere and concludes the longest running Vertigo comic and – on a technicality – DC comic. I’ve already said my piece on the subject of John Constantine and DC’s cancelling of his book in favor of a New 52′d version. Since I get …

362 – Proinsias Cassidy
As much as Preacher is about Jesse Custer finding God and calling him on His bullshit, it’s also about the journey Cassidy takes from being a sleazy piece of shit vampire to redeemable human being. So basically, like Angel, with a lot more drugs, booze, sex, murder, and a more ridiculous Irish first name.
326 – Transmetropolitan
I believe this was a request from my friend Shiloh. Back at the turn of the century, Shiloh and I were incredibly close. We parted ways and kept minimal contact with each other until I broke down and joined Facebook. Since then she has been one of my few Facebook friends who likes to call …

I am no longer a very political person. There was a point in time that I was, but I pretty much just stopped giving a crap. I vote, and that’s pretty much it. My politics currently can be summed up in this manner: You can insult and make fun of Herman Cain and criticize his …
228 – Death of the Endless
Another request from my friend Amanda.
156 – Jesse Custer
I love Preacher, but I will admit that when it was coming out monthly, it was getting on my nerves. However, apparently, I thought the final issue was fantastic, and seemed to be the only one out of my peers who were reading it was as well, that liked it. A few years after it …
154 – The American Scream
Happy 4th of July! Over at Ok, PANIC! we’re celebrating the holiday with the Patriotic Avenger, Captain America, the spirit of the potential of America. However, America has a prevalent shitty side, so I’m showcasing that here with The American Scream, the villain of the first 25 or so issues of Peter Milligan & Chris …
112 – Morpheus
Sandman is one of those books I feel bad about for not reading more of. Back in the mid-90s, DC began publishing (along with black and white versions of Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing) Sandman under the header Vertigo Essentials. I bought ‘em all for the 20 issues it lasted, and I enjoyed it greatly. Then …
045 – John Constantine: Hellblazer
Hellblazer is my favorite non-superhero ongoing comic, I’ve been reading it for years, and only once has it ever gotten to a point where I thought I might drop it (author Denise Mina’s run a few years ago, for what it’s worth). I’m even one of the only people who love Paul Jenkins’ run on …
