Somewhat Relevant: Ice Cream Man #18

Posted on February 28, 2020 by Brian John Mitchell

Ice Cream Man 18
So I don’t really read a lot of comics as they come out.  I started getting Ice Cream Man a few months ago because of Robbie on Pop Culture Philosophers toting it & it is a great book.  Each issue …

Somewhat Relevant – Dark Agnes

Posted on February 16, 2020 by Brian John Mitchell

Dark Agnes

So Dark Agnes is a Robert E Howard character.  I’ve actually never read the three original stories she appears in, in part because they were published about 40 years after his death & a lot of the stuff in that …

Dark Knight Returns: The Golden Child

So I am a fan of The Dark Knight Returns & Frank Miller & while I thought DKRIII was fine, I had no memory of it & was excited to see Miller back in this universe of the dystopian future …

Swans - Sacrifice & Transcendence - The Oral History

I started listening to Swans in high school with their album The Burning World with its acoustic guitars & violins & cover of a Kansas song that is not really indicative of what folks associate with the band, but as …

Grendel: Devil’s Oddysey #1

Posted on October 21, 2019 by Brian John Mitchell

Grendel: Devil's Odyssey

So I first started reading Grendel when I was 9 with issue 10 of the original run.  Sex, violence, flying cars, & a kabuki werewolf – so maybe not age appropriate, but no more so than favorite movies of the …

Somewhat Relevant – Beyond

Posted on August 16, 2019 by Brian John Mitchell

beyond 2014
So I would say this maybe should go under “Finally Checking It Out” since it’s five years old, but I’ve never heard of it until now when it was recommended to me on FilmRise, so I’m guessing it’s new to …

Emerald City

Posted on January 8, 2017 by Brian John Mitchell

I think pretty much everyone born after 1940 has the 1939 MGM version of The Wizard of Oz stuck in as the definitive version of the story & so do I.  It’s a part of childhood & for me connected …

Penny-Dreadful-#1If you haven’t seen the Penny Dreadful TV show, it’s worth checking out.  Doctor Frankenstein, a good witch, & a cowboy fighting vampires… wait… that sounds awful… but it really is good with high quality acting, costuming, & cinematography.  So …

Rom #0So for those not in the know, Rom is a failed toy from 1979 & a moderately successful Marvel comic in the 1980s.  Because of the comic being based on the toy there are weird licensing issues that have caused …

Somewhat Relevant – Iggy Pop: Post Pop Depression

Posted on March 22, 2016 by Brian John Mitchell

People who’ve known me a while know I’m a pretty big Iggy Pop fan. I love the first Stooges record so much that I will buy & listen to pretty much anything he does. That said, a lot of his …
