482. Saint of Killers

482. Saint of Killers

So, I’m guessing the Preacher tv show will not be having The Saint of Killers as a character. Sad, but not too upsetting. So, I figured I’d make a doodle. A doodle. A doodle of The Saint of Killers. Doodle.

424. Spider, man

424. Spider, man

If only Hunter S. Thompson was still alive and/or Spider Jerusalem was real. I think either would be having a massive field day with the current election. But no one would be listening anyway. Transmetropolitan is another Top 10 comic series for me. Also the only series I own with an issue 1 signed by …

440. Gus

440. Gus

I should go back and follow up on Sweet Tooth at some point.

419. The Corinthian

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. …

20. John Constantine, Hellblazer

20. John Constantine, Hellblazer

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

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

326 – Transmetropolitan

I love Transmetropolitan. It’s one of the few long-run series that I’ve read multiple times in its entirety (Preacher, The Invisibles and Shade the Changing Man being the others). A few years back we had a pretty bad winter where it seemed to continuously snow for weeks on end. One morning, sound asleep, I wake …

278 – V

278 – V

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

228 – Death of the Endless

Another request from a former friend.

219 – Shade The Changing Man

219 – Shade The Changing Man

I’ve gushed about Shade the Changing Man before, so I’m not gonna repeat myself here. I wish this drawing had turned out better, and he certainly deserves better than being depicted as a hipster. I will say that I got turned onto Shade by my friend Bruce, and we loved the book so much we …
