Comic Recommendations

by admin @ 2:58 pm. Filed under comic books, recommendations, religious fervor, reviews

Because I love the Bible and all its sordid ridiculousness, I have to highly recommend Gutsville to …well, everyone. This book has it all - a premise that defies common sense yet draws one into its implausibility, art that all at once is claustrophobic and overwhelmingly large, puritans and other religious fanatics, serial killers, magic and flabby, old-man ass. How can anyone go wrong with such a diverse combination of elements? Writer Simon Spurrier and artist Frazer Irving bring to (dark and eeire) life the story of the descendants of the colony ship Daphne, stuck in the belly of a great sea beast for the past 157 years. They call themselves “Jonahkin” and await the time of “the Great Regurgitation” while being ministered by a justice system that makes The Scarlet Letter look like the ACLU. Yes, it’s as disgusting and oppressive as you imagine, but completely compelling. Get issues 1 and 2 today and breathlessly await issue 3!

Reviews for Prism Comics

by admin @ 10:59 am. Filed under Prism Comics, comic books, gay, reviews

In 2006, I began writing reviews of gay comics for Prism Comics under then-editor, Rich Thigpen. Rich kept giving me assignments and eventually, when he left, asked if I wanted to be editor. Of course, I said YES! I mean, who wouldn’t? Prism is an amazing organization that promotes visibility of GTBLQ creators, characters and companies. I’m very proud to be able to do any kind of work for them. Especially writing reviews, which, by their nature, are nothing but fun. My reviews are listed below. Those with stars before them have serious adult content.

Manhunter #16 - 20

**Hard to Swallow #1

**The Incredibly Hung Naked Justice #1

The Book of Boy Trouble

**The Pornomicon #1

**Hard to Swallow #2

**Mark of Aeacus #1

Huh. Until I just looked at this list, I never realized how many adult comic books I’ve reviewed. And enjoyed. I hope this doesn’t mean I’m a pervert. Well, at least not too big of a pervert.

P.S. I’m always looking for volunteers to write for Prism. Especially ladies. Send me an email and we’ll get you started on the road to fame and fortune! Well, noteriety, maybe.
