Leave a comment

Well hello again my friends, I hope you don’t mind another comic book post so early in the month but since there are a handful of awesome items coming out from Image Comics I couldn’t let them pass you by without a mention. As with our other posts, the general information and images from their press side of the fence and then I’ll close out with some editorial mumblings. Here we go.

CROSSWIND #1: Fan-favorite creators GAIL SIMONE and CAT STAGGS make their stunning Image debut with this mind-bending new ongoing series! A slick and ruthless Chicago hitman. A smart but downtrodden Seattle housewife. When an inexplicable event strikes these two random strangers, their bodies, souls, and lives are switched to potentially deadly effect. It’s Freaky Friday meets Goodfellas!

STORY: GAIL SIMONE; ART / COVER: CAT STAGGS

THE DIVIDED STATES OF HYSTERIA #1: An America sundered. An America enraged. An America terrified. An America shattered by greed and racism, violence and fear, nihilism and tragedy……and that’s when everything really goes to hell.

STORY / ART / COVER:HOWARD CHAYKIN

“The Divided States Of Hysteria” #1

Leave a comment

Hey there Metalheads, how is February treating you so far? Has it been a good one or a bad one? If it’s been the latter, then I guess it’s pretty awesome to find it closing up its book on us and prepping the path for a nice March Metal Madness. Now since I know a lot of you are fans of Otep Shamaya and her Metal adventures in music and activism, I am sure that being tipped off about her upcoming tour in the Spring will be of interest to you. I’ve copied the full on press release for you below so check it out. Don’t worry, I’ll add some closing thoughts in as well since that is what I am here for.

Tour - Otep - Generation Doom - 2016

The Press Release:
Formed from the poetic marrow of creative intercourse, OTEP is more than a band. OTEP is an Art Movement, a Revolution; Breaking ground. Breaking rules. Breaking barriers. Articulate. Aggressive.

new year's music resolutions

When I do my NY Comic Con coverage, I always refer to the fourth chapter or segment as being my “Fantastic Fourth” edition since its kind of aimed at the comic book of the same name. Since I could not come up with anything different as I compiled all of these resolution responses you will just have to bear with me as I use it once more to proudly welcome readers to our “Fantastic Fourth” chapter of “New Year’s Music Resolutions for 2013”; That’s all I have for you now, so get thee reading.

1. Erik Kliuber (Gypsyhawk): For 2013 I resolve to keep doing what I’ve been doing with music. Writing, performing, and learning new music is a state of being. I have to force myself to write a little to a lot every day I’m home. I’ll have very limited free time next year due to touring and having to work shitty jobs between tours. The next album has to be even better than “Revelry and Resilience”.

2. Elizabeth Schall (Dreaming Dead): To embrace my fears, doubts, my convictions, embrace my truth and turn each one of them into music.

3. Carmine Appice (Cactus/Vanilla Fudge/King Kobra): My New Year’s Music Resolution is to gig as much as I can with all my different bands from my past!!!
