Ben-Hur part 1

Something a little more literary for a change. Ben-Hur is based on the novel by Lew Wallace, first published in 1880. I'm going to point you to Wikipedia for more information on the background of the book and its author to save myself some effort (I'm writing this on Sunday evening and I've a bunch of shows recorded off the TV crying out to be watched). Even if you've not read the book, most

The Sandman: Season of Mists

Well, this fourth installment came with the highest possible recommendation from Gaiman fans, and it didn't disappoint. The Sandman: Season of Mists is the very best omnibus thus far. While The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes ( Canada , USA , Europe ), The Sandman: The Doll's House ( Canada , USA , Europe ), and The Sandman: Dream Country ( Canada , USA , Europe ) were a bit all over the place and...

Graphic Novel: Batman Arkham Asylum "A Serious House On Serious Earth"

"A serious house on serious earth." The sub title of this symbolic tome speaks of what is to be found inside this version of the Asylum. You will find no camp here. While based on Batman's recent visit to the Asylum on the console front, this source material takes the Dark Knight further into a selective kind of dementia. H.P Lovecraft once said of fear: We are afraid of what is unseen and...

Looking for a Halloween Hottie? Try Gaiman’s Absolute Death

If you’re looking for a Halloween date, look no further than Death. Neil Gaiman’s immortal comic book series The Sandman conjured several memorable anthropomorphic characters, but few were as cool as Death, a casual goth babe who also happened to be one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Now the unassuming face of human expiration [...]

playing with forms

Journal as CSI: NY : Mr. G sent the below image and directed me to find someone in New York that could get me a clean, complete photo of one of these subway ads. I wasn't sure if he meant me to post the request here, or if he thinks that I have a secret network of subway-photographing New Yorkers. Which I do, of course. They're just... uh... busy with other assignments. So, my own efforts having come...

Jeff Smith’s Comic Series Bone Could Become Three Animated Films from WB

While many people are excited about all the developments around films from Marvel and DC, the comic book movies I'm interested in are a bit different. I'd love to see Dave McKean's Cages, yes. And I'm wildly curious about how Jeff Smith's massive fantasy epic Bone will play on the screen. Now Smith is saying the story could be told in a series of three films. Last year WB optioned the Bone series,...

Dave McKean Adds a Movie of Cages to His To Do List

There's only one Dave McKean feature film out there in the world so far, and that's Mirrormask. Doesn't seem right that such an auspicious debut wouldn't have been followed up more rapidly, or even very regularly. I feel hard done by. I reported earlier in the year on McKean's continuing attempts to get ass-kicking kitty picture Varjak Paw off of the ground. Now it seems he's also taking meetings about...

The Sandman: Dream Country

Although overall I enjoyed both The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes ( Canada , USA , Europe ) and The Sandman: The Doll's House ( Canada , USA , Europe ), the stories have always been hit or miss, for the most part. And since most of you had told me not to expect too much from the third omnibus, that everything kicked into high gear in the fourth one, The Sandman: Season of Mists ( Canada , USA ,...
