So if you got an awesome Deadpool tattoo post it in the comments. I myself am tattooless (still hoping to be buried in [...]

March 1st is a red letter day for us here at JFD. It’s the first (of hopefully many) Junk Food Dinner nights at Project Parlor (742 Myrtle [...]
Complete History Of The Return Of The Living Dead
Been waiting for The Complete History Of Return Of The Living Dead to hit shelves since I heard about it at the last Monster Mania Convention I attended, which featured a pretty hefty amount of Return Of The Living Dead stars. I made sure to attend the ROTLD Q&A panel and boy, was I glad [...]
One more reason to love Gatsby
Most good books get adapted into nearly every conceivable form these days. If there isn’t a movie there is probably a TV show. If either of those aren’t around chances are a comic book was hanging around or is planned. Depending on the source material my attention span for every iteration of a famous book [...]
Destroy All Movies!!! Back in stock, but not for long.
When I first heard about Fantagraphics’ Destroy All Movies The Complete Guide To Punks On Film I immediately knew this book was for me. Being a “punk” myself and a huge cult film nerd how could I not be excited. Destroy All Movies is an informative, hilarious and impossibly complete guide to every appearance of [...]

Mecha and Shinigami and Yaoi, Oh My!
This week’s manga selection is a great stroll through the various genres that are near and dear to the otaku’s heart. From the super awesome second Black Collector’s Edition of Death Note (which collects volumes 3 and 4) to volume 4 of Ichiroh, you can bet your Pocky that there’s a lot of variety to [...]
There’s Nothing Out There

Transformers Generations Scourge Review
By Loran While it’s taken them a few years to get to this point, the Classics/Universe/Generations line has been doing a pretty good job giving us casts from the original cartoon. We’re only a few characters away from having the entire 1984 product lineup, with characters from 1985 and 1986 not as close, but on [...]
HGUC GM Custom Review
By Loran Holy crap, a new Gundam article! Bandai’s kind of a fickle company. There are tons of designs we’ve wanted to see get HGUC kits for years-most of them are GMs, when you think about it. We hold out hope that they’ll eventually see releases, and sometimes it can mean waiting years or even [...]
Walking Dead DVD/Blu-ray Pre-order
Last night I finally finished watching AMC’s The Walking Dead television show. I know I’m way behind, but I don’t have cable and was having a hard time getting to someone’s house, with cable, who also wanted to watch this. After the first two episodes it just didn’t seem worth the effort to be at [...]

Hyped for next Wednesday
Looks like I’ll be searching through the couch cushions for change again next week. Here’s my projected pull list, I say projected cause I always end up buying more than I plan. 7 Billion Needles Vol 3 – Manga! Yeah I read that stuff too. This one reminds me a lot of Parasyte but with [...]
