The Weekly Pulse – We Are All Scott Snyder
Jams, comma, tasty, is the order of the day here at Forbidden Planet. But not all jams are created equal. Some jams, like that which is Action Comics #6, are a mystery. I’m going to stop saying jams now. Are you reading this? Have any of the New 52s begun to feel stale? Or are [...]
The Clone Chores
This has been the easiest column to write of my long career…because I didn’t write it! OR DID I?! No, I did not, but my CLONE did! That’s right, in order to better multitask I have developed a clone-o-matic so that all of my necessary daily tasks (sweeping up the cave, writing my columns, eating, [...]

Hack Slash Crossover Craziness
There has been a rash of Hack/Slash crossovers recently and I’m loving it! Reminds me of Cassie and Vlad’s early days, getting mixed up with Evil Ernie one week, fighting Chucky the next. This coming Wednesday marks the release of Hack Slash Meets Zombies Vs Cheerleaders, who also had a cool crossover of their own [...]
Witch Doctor #0
The new Image title Witch Doctor dropped this week as the flip side of Walking Dead #85. So after reading the Walking Dead (which was another mind blowing issue) I was all hyped on reading this Witch Doctor. As a horror enthusiast I love seeing new genre comics being released. Especially a non-zombie related one, no [...]

The show is to be directed by Stephen Hopkins, whose Predator 2 is my personal favorite of the series. Sounds pretty good to me. Here’s a link to the [...]

Check out Fright-Rags‘ newest designs by one of my favorite local artists, Jeff Zornow. I am pleased to release two of our most sickest designs yet. Born out of the insane mind of Jeff Zornow, comes Critters and City of the Living Dead. I think he captured the essence of both films brilliantly in his original [...]
