The Partnership DONE
Started proofing this at 10am and finished around 9pm. My first full length crime comic book.
It was fun to tackle a genre I’m such a big fan of. I find sci-fi and horror comes pretty naturally, but The Partnership tapped into a different part of my brain and had a few more moving parts that couldn’t be helped along by dropping a monster in or exploding a starship from under the crew.
Still turned out incredibly violent of course.
Tomorrow I start a new robot thing as a spiritual follow up to Fetch…

“The feel of a Pixar film in all the best ways”
Thanks to Macabre Daily for another great Fetch 2 review.
“The visuals and set pieces are even more spectacular than the first, with mixtures of eerie and epic. There is a wonderful sense of scale and scope, from the small and intimate to the gigantic and looming to a degree I rarely get see captured so well in this medium.”
“Be ready to pick up Book 2 on the 8th of May. If you haven’t, and you are a fan of Pixar films; Greek Mythology; and child-driven, whimsical adventures (like Labyrinth, Mirrormask, or Neverending Story), then this is the sort of comic for you.”

Pew! Pew! Pew! Repeat.
Finished writing a thing today and got to reference these guys all on the same page because of something they have in common.

San ti
I try not to be negative about movies or TV shows as I know how practically impossible it is to get anything made. But if you want a show that doesn’t treat you like an enormous fuckwit there’s always all 30 episodes of the Chinese adaptation of Liu Cixin‘s The Three-Body Problem where the stars certainly don’t BLINK on and off.

15 Horror Movies I Can’t Live Without: Bonus Round
Following Mike Mignola’s cue I added a bonus round of five extra Horror Movies I Can’t Live Without. Here they are:
16. Night of the Living Dead (1968)
17. Deathline aka Raw Meat (1972)
18. The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
19. Horror Express (1972)
20. An American Werewolf in London (1981)
Since making the list I have, of course, thought of another twenty movies I should really have added. Maybe I just need to revive my Letterboxd account.

Together they solve crime!
This caricature of Jess for the latest cover of the magazine she edits really captures the passion she has for cement and the special relationship she shares with her pet mixer.

RIP M Emmet Walsh
So many great performances.
People are talking about BLADE RUNNER (1982) of course, but his part in BLOOD SIMPLE (1984) is one of the all-time greats. He also had a long and varied TV career before moving to the big screen and it’s always awesome when he pops up in a Starsky & Hutch or Rockford Files.
