OUT TODAY! Hello Darkness #25, with a wild, goofy, scary story about the relics of Catholic saints, by me and the great Giorgio Pontrelli!
HELLO DARKNESS #25 cover featuring the black-and-red-haired Darcia in a sort of Attack of the 50-Foot Woman composition, towering above a city street and reaching for a man and woman fleeing in the foreground. A cover burst (called a "violator" in advertising circles) trumpets "The Return of Marian Heretic!" and the cover credits read Alejandro Arbona, Giorgio Pontrelli, Tini Howard, Savanna Mayer, Robert Menegus, JM Baravecchia, Andrew Loder, and Robert Hack

Great book! If that piece seems like it could be from Piranesi it's because the art and the book title and the whole concept itself are all probably drawing from Giovanni Battista Piranesi, also homaged by @davidaja.com in Immortal Iron Fist

Love to the pals in the Star Trek group chat who let me be when I referred to Pike as "Kirk," God knows if it had been one of them I would have cooked them alive with a picture of Anson Mount saying "I play Pike." It's what I deserved.

The new monthly special at Hamburger America
A BRIEF HISTORY of the
GOM CHEESE BRR-GRR
Zaharakos, a 126 year old ice cream parlor in Columbus, Indiana, serves a sticky, burger-like concoction with a very rich history. That burger is called the Gom Cheese Brr-Grr.
The Gom is technically in the cheeseburger family, but it's not really a cheeseburger. It's a sandwich with hamburger qualities. This is a loose, tasty, hot mess, and you are going to love it.
Imagine the union of a Sloppy Joe and a grilled cheese sandwich and you are almost there. The slop is kind of sticky, or "gommy" (which comes from an old Dutch slang word), and is loaded with tasty spices and a bit of brown sugar and molasses.
Interestingly, in Indiana, the Sloppy Joe is sometimes referred to as a "Dutch Hamburger." Also, it has not been confirmed, but it's possible that the Zaharakos brothers may have invented the original Sloppy Joe.

A few weeks ago I watched an early '80s Troma movie starring Joe Spinell and Caroline Munro called The Last Horror Film (from the director of Thrashin') and it featured this old NYC comic shop BATCAVE (which DC ended up suing)…today I happened to walk by the location and it's still somewhat yellow

Warren Ellis may have meant Elijah Snow or Spider Jerusalem to depict how he views himself but his biggest self-insert character was Rorkannu from Nextwave, a pathetic, self-aggrandizing loser who's just in it for cash and Suicide Girls
Excerpt from Nextwave of a metal-faced goon from the Beyond Corporation offering a little cash to a blue-flame-headed demonic entity parodying Dr. Strange's Dormammu. The dialogue reads:
Goon: "Um…I have a hundred on me."
Rorkannu: "Yes. Give me your hundred. Yes! I have a hundred of the Earth dollars! Ahem. This is acceptable to dread Rorkannu. Yes. And the girls. I like those 'Suicide Girls.'"
Goon: "Suicide Girls."
Rorkannu: "On the website. The girls with tattoos and piercings. I like those. No blondes."

Happy 53rd annual TCSM Day to all
[text crawl]
The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of five youths, in particular Sally Hardesty and her invalid brother, Franklin. It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For [cuts off here][text crawl continued]
they were to see that day. For them an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare.
The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.AUGUST 18, 1973[title screen with an amorphous red background]

I filed a claim with my bank to get back a $14 "international transaction fee" for an attempted fraudulent charge. They caught the fraud to begin with but still charged me for the transaction. ANYWAY turns out they put in the new complaint as an identity theft claim and deleted my account. Over $14.
