Just One More Issue, Please!
The Question #37 came out this week–the first issue of that series to be published in twenty years. It’s the last of the one-off revivals DC’s been publishing over the past month as tie-ins with their Blackest Night event. This one, though, is special: it actually is effectively a new issue of the odd, intense little series whose …
Review: The Smart Scares of Frozen
I love the straightforward and streamlined gall of Frozen. Here’s a horror film that’s confident enough to abandon superficial scares – you know, those jump-cuts that catch you off guard and make you jolt – in favor of a concept that works on a far more insidious, intellectual level.

In Which I Chat With Matt Fraction About Iron Man, Avatar and Watchmen
So Matt Fraction’s been in town for the last couple of weeks for various Marvel-y things that just so happened to coincide with Sega’s showcase of upcoming video games for the press.
