Saw The Raid 2 today. Not as good as the first one. Pretty ambitious, though, very intense, and – of course – the action was fantastic. The problem with it was its ambition. It was trying to be this sprawling epic crime story, but that’s not what made The Raid so great. It was the …

421. The Creeper
So. Five days on, the death of Dave Brockie is still affecting me. My friend Jason and I were discussing it, and we can succinctly sum it as a super-bummer. But even that seems too light. Because it is truly bothering me. Celebrity deaths don’t mean anything to me. Even when someone like Phillip Seymour …
419. The Corinthian
I think I’ve talked about how I’ve only read the first 20 issues of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman multiple times, right? If I haven’t, well, there you go. But even before I read any Sandman, I had seen a picture of The Corinthian and became fascinated with him. To this day, I’m still fascinated with him. …
402. New 52 Superman

401. Swamp Thing
1st part of a commission for a custom action figure backing board (which is why Swampy is holding an axe and mace). I don’t know how anyone could draw a Swamp Thing comic on a regular basis and not go completely insane. I struggled pretty badly just doing this one drawing. I will also point …
393. Black Lightning
My favorite thing about this character is that his afro is his mask. So. Black Superhero History month is over. My pal Jason helped me compile this list, and it was not terribly easy and leaned very Marvel heavy. Not a lot of really great black heroes out there. I mean, there are, but man, …
388. Mr. Terrific
I kinda love this character, but even though I drew his New 52 look here, I didn’t read his New 52 book. He appeared once in Earth 2 before I dropped that series. It’s too bad. He was a great character. Fuck DC. So, because I am a 35 year old man, I spent my …
