    Titan Books Reviews: Tank Girl: Skidmarks TPB

    Skidmarks is just like any other Tank Girl comic written by Alan Martin…completely original and off the wall. The art by Rufus Dayglo is great as well. Like always, we’re intermittently treated to awesome full page drawings, but what really makes it pop is the...

    “Red Moon” OGN is Something to Howl About

    While at San Diego Comic Con I ran into a couple of guys who introduced me to their indie graphic novel Red Moon, and boy am I glad they did! The story, art, and design are by David McAdoo, and Steve Kozak produces the work. The...

    Film Fatale: Josie and the Pussycats

    Josie and the Pussycats was released in 2001 and was directed by Harry Elfont as well as Deborah Kaplan. Two directors? It’s not completely unusual but I’m pretty sure just one director could have handled making this movie.  I’ve seen worse, but that’s not saying much....

    Film Fatale: Batman Returns

    Batman Returns (1992) holds a special place in my heart for a few reasons. First it’s directed by one of my favorite directors, Tim Burton. He also directed Michael Keaton in the starring role of another movie called Beetlejuice. There were times during the film...

    Film Fatale: Daredevil

    I’m just going to come out and say, I don’t like this movie. It has moments here and there that are semi-cool but over all it’s pretty forgettable and in some parts down right bad. Released in 2003 it actually did very well at the...
