In case you didn't know: Sci-Fi Spy comic VESCELL is BACK!

If you've never read Vescell, by Enrique Carrion and John Upchurch, it's a beautifully written and illustrated story about a future where the lines between science and magic are pretty much gone. The comic stars Mauricio 'Moo' Barrino, a corporate fixer that protects the Vescell Corporation's secrets.
Here's some preview pages from Vescell #8.

PREVIEW- The Fall of the House of Usher #1 by Edgar Allan Poe and Richard Corben

 Call me crazy, but I love Richard Corben. His comicbook illustrations exude an almost surreal quality with their slightly off balance construction and convincing texture. I was excited to hear that Corben was adapting Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher as a two part miniseries. Peep some preview pages below...

#nowPlaying- That Homeboy Sandman video...

Here's a video for Peace & Love, from that dude Homeboy Sandman's latest record  Kool Herc: Fertile Crescent.

PREVIEW- Deadpool #9 (featuring DOPE art by our friend @MikeHawthorne!)

LeSean drops episode 4 of his "Seoul Sessions" Documentary series!

While I was busy chasing waterfalls, that dude LeSean Thomas (producer of The Boondocks and the Black Dynamite cartoon, among others) dropped a new episode of his documentary series Seoul Sessions! So without further ado, let's learn something!

PREVIEW- X-(Wo)Men #1, featuring (mohawk) Storm, and the return of Jubilee

For decades, Marvel's X-men has been the gold standard for diversity in comics. And I'm not just talking racial, national, and ethnic diversity. X-men has always featured the most complex and capable female characters in the superhero genre, so I guess it was just a matter of time before an all-female X-team hit the shelves, led by alpha-female number one, Ororo Munroe, better known as Storm. Here's some preview pages by superstar artist Olivier Coipel... 

PREVIEW- Fearless Defenders #4

Valkyrie, Misty Knight and Hippolyta are going head up against some undead Asgardian chicks in this preview of Fearless Defenders #4. Peep...

Our friends across the pond Montana and Menace interview Maseo of De La Soul, Talib Kweli, Homeboy Sandman, Slum Village and more about their new joints, upcoming projects and current events. Plus more dope hip hop music than we can recommend attempting to shake a stick at... 

Chicago Bears Defensive lineman Israel Idonije + Bart Sears + Ron Marz = The Protectors #C2E2

 No matter how many projects he does that I don't like, I always get excited when I see Bart Sears is working on a new comic. His exaggerated anatomy and bold action scenes made a huge impression on me in the early nineties, and it's always good to see someone of his caliber getting more work. So anyways, here's a preview of The Protectors #0, the new joint he's working on with Chicago Bears D-lineman Israel Idonije and Ron Marz.

What do you think of Vertigo's Django Comic?

 Some of the spirited debate surrounding Tarantino's ultraviolent blaxploitation/spaghetti western Django Unchainedhas died down, but thankfully DC/Vertigo is keeping the party going by publishing an adaptation of Tarantino's original screenplay for the slavery era shoot-em-up. Here's some pages from issue 3, which is in stores already...

PREVIEW- SHADOWMAN ZERO

 This hella tight wraparound cover by the mighty Dave Johnson would be reason enough to slap down loot for Shadowman #0 when it comes out next month, but this special prequel issue also reveals the secret history of the Shadowmen, and the origin of the undead necromancer, Master Darque. Peep a couple variant covers, and a short preview of this issue below!

Wonder Wo... I mean WARRIOR WOMAN Joins Misty Knight's Fearless Defenders in issue 3

 Fearless Defenders writer Cullen Bunn is taking the Wonder Woman mythos back to its roots in Greek mythology, casting Hippolyta (the Golden Age WW, and mother of Princess Diana) of Themiscyra ("Paradise Island" in the DC canon) as the mighty Warrior Woman.  Peep...

New "Bored Freebies" video by Shinobi Stalin and Rice Master Yen

I'm always happy to get new isht in my email from Orlando-based emcee Shinobi Stalin, but was especially pleased to get this new video Bored Freebies, which teams Shinobi with German producer Rice Master Yen. I only became aware of Yen last month, but it seems like he's working with all the underground dudes I follow...

"20/20 hindsight in the limelight. Love is blind, right? Gotta get my mind right" -Napoleon Da Legend

Here's a sharp new video for Dancing in the Rain, the new single off Napoleon Da Legend's new album Awakenings. This video (directed, edited, and filmed by Edson Florez) helps illustrate the song's message about how past negative relationships can impact present and future ones.

Brandon Graham draws "Betty and Veronica"! Sorta...

 That dude Brandon Graham posted these pages on his blog that he drew recently based on a Betty and Veronica comic. Because I am who I am, I swiped 'em and posted them below for your viewing pleasure.

Want Chibi Diety T-Shirts? CLICK THIS

 I'm a christian, so maybe it's wrong to want a t-shirt with Shiva on it that says "Create. Destroy. Rinse. Repeat." or a shirt with Jesus surfing (with no surfboard) that says "Shit happens. Miracles do too"... but DAMMIT, the fine folks at Your Faith Looks Familiar have seduced me with their Chibigod-powered message of religious tolerance...

#nowPlaying that chopped and screwed "Requiem" remix by @AWKWORDrap


The love/hate relationship between drugs and hiphop culture is long and complicated. With the influence that mollies and promethazine syrup have on popular rap, Awkword decided it was a good time to drop this "sarcastic pro-drug-slash-drug-PSA song" The Requiem...

 I'm a big fan of Glass and Oeming's anthro fantasy comic The Mice Templar, so it pleased me to see this preview of The Mice Templar IV: Legend on CBR...

Alex Ross covers "Pacific Rim" prequel comic

As you should already know, my geek flag is flying for Pacific Rim, the kaiiju-busting giant robot movie helmed by Guillermo Del Toro. The movie is due out in July, but in June, Legendary Comics is dropping a graphic novel prequel called Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero, written by Pacific Rim screenwriter Travis Beacham, with pencils by Sean Chen, Yvel Guichet, and Pericles Junior, and inks by Steve Bird and Mark McKenna. So, it's not gonna be wack. Peep the cover art by the mighty Alex Ross below...

"I'm quick to recommend CHEW because its so bat ish crazy!"-@DwainIBe

CHEW really is an awesome comic. I write about it a lot. It shows boundless imagination and a fabulous sense of humor. Like DwainIBe, I recommend it to people all the time. But I already know many of them won't like it. After all, it's batshit crazy...

You had me at "6 Gun Gorilla"...

"First and foremost, 6 Gun Gorilla is a Western..." says writer Si Spurrier of the new genre-bending pulp revival comic he's working on with artist Jeff Stokely.  "There are a few things about it which make that description seem a bit unlikely: it's abstractly set in the future, the majority of the action occurs on another world, the central character has had groundbreaking surgery to turn him into a psychic TV-camera for the thrill-junkies watching back home and, yes, it prominently features a 500-pound gorilla with a pair of enormous guns. But, despite appearances, it oozes Western..."

Cyborg looks SUPER ILL on the cover of Justice League #18

 Cyborg's on the cover to Justice League #18, so I couldn't resist snatching this preview and and dropping it here. While we're talking black superheroes, New 52 versions of Black Lightning and Vixen appear in this issue. Plus, I will not rant about the Blue Devil redesign. Not even a little bit.

Purple Girl with Afro on cover = Post on GhettoManga? Pretty much...

It Girl & The Atomics #8
Honestly, if you put a chick with a fro on the cover of your comic, I will probably check it out. Yes, it's that easy. Purple skin is optional, but encouraged. Anyways, here's a preview of It Girl & The Atomics #8...
