Could this be? After reading a few comics recommended by Sean, Mr Black’s girlfriend is now reading comics of her own will. One of her favorite comics being Fart Party by Julia Wertz. This indie comic is a look into life in San Francisco as seen through a beer guzzling, bike riding, and sarcastic artist. Filled with humor and heartache it’s a perfect match for those who don’t like men in tights, flying around and picking fights.

Whoop! This one’s a dozy folks. We just came off a late night bender from previewing Zombieland. Wow. It’s well worth the price of admission. In fact, since we saw it for free, now we will have to go see it seven more times. Sean Leslie’s already seen it thrice. Sheesh!

This week we spotlight on the Luna brother’s horror book, Girls. No, these are not the “Girls, girls, girls” from a Motley Cru video.  These are beautiful naked girls who want to sleep with all men and kill all the women.  Intrigued?  So were we.
