Somewhere Around The Number Ten Best Comics That Nobody Told You About
Part 1: I love Chris Ware. Bit redundant to say so this holiday season with everyone and their sister buying Building Stories, but with so much comic awesomeness that happened in 2012; between Charles Burn’s second installment to his X’ed Out trilogy, The Hive, and Brian K.

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 [...]
Schwarzenegger keeps ‘Conan’ sword in his office.
