Comic Review: Orbit: Keith Richards Posted: 26 Feb 2012 11:00 AM PST Orbit: Keith Richards Written by Brian McCarthy & Michael Lent Pencils by Luis Chichón Colors by Luis Chichón Letters: Luis Chichón Cover by Michael Szyksznian Bluewater Productions Release date: January 5, 2012 Price: $3.99 (print); $5.99 (ebook) He's one of the greatest rock musicians alive and the fact that he's still alive is a wonder - he's Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and this is his story. Orbit: Keith Richards is a biographical comic from Bluewater Productions which gives us the down and dirty on the life and crazy times of Keith Richards, who's been a driving force behind one of the biggest rock bands in history. Richards is responsible for mega-hits like "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "Brown Sugar," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Honky Tonk Woman," to name just a few of the many popular songs he wrote. The musician is also known for other things, like his long-term major drug use and his many run-ins with the police. It's been a mystery how this man, who's now 68 years old, is still alive after all the drugs he's done [...]

Comic Review: The Complete Major Bummer Super Slacktacular Posted: 26 Feb 2012 10:00 AM PST The Complete Major Bummer Super Slacktacular Written by John Arcudi Art by Doug Mahnke Inks by Tom Nguyen Colors by Carla Feeny Letters by Willie Schubert Dark Horse Comics Released September 27, 2011 Price $29.99 I'm constantly amazed when comics publishers re-release material originally published by a different company. Such is the case with The Complete Major Bummer Super Slacktacular from Dark Horse Comics. Major Bummer was originally published by DC Comics from 1997 to 1998, lasting just 15 issues. The series was written by John Arcudi (BPRD, The Mask), with art by Doug Mahnke (Green Lantern, also The Mask). Major Bummer was released at a time when DC was experimenting with different kinds of books (see also: Young Heroes in Love) and is a title that you would never see from them today. It's very cool to look back and see books created when DC and Marvel were more willing to take a chance on books that take the superhero genre in new directions, which is what we get from Major Bummer.

Lord Of The Rings ‘You Shall Not Pass’ Self-Inking Stamp Posted: 26 Feb 2012 08:01 AM PST Etsy user greyskieseternal has found a clever way for teachers to let their students know that they're failing with this Lord Of The Rings-inspired self-inking stamp that reads "You Shall Not Pass." The stamper prints out the words in red and even has a tiny Gandalf on the left with sword and staff in hands acting out how you shall not pass, as if your horrible test scores were the Balrog itself [...]
