STARING AT THE DARK SIDE OF THE SUN
Queer Eye on Comics by Edward Beekman-Myers, posted November 15th, 2009
2009 turned out to be a rather tough year for me. It started out pretty awesome, what with me taking the initiative to self-publish my first novel. But then things began to inch toward a downward spiral. I found it a challenge trying to promote my book on a wider scale. With my limited funds, it wasn’t like I could embark on a worldwide tour or splatter billboards on every major highway. I couldn’t even splurge for an overpriced hotel room in order to sign copies at Prism’s Comic Con… [More…]

NIGHTLIFE
Color Commentary by Kenne Morrison, posted November 5th, 2009
Finding love or something similar to it can often occur in the most unusual of places. You can meet your partner at the grocery store or at a party.You can meet them in the morning, in the afternoon, or late at night. No matter where or how you meet them, there’s always a story involved. In Nightlife, the stories to be told have one thing in common; it all takes place at night. In a person’s nightlife. Like another book that I’ve reviewed by Dale Lazarov, Manly, this is a… [More…]

FLINCH #7
Color Commentary by PKA, posted October 31st, 2009
Picture the scene -- its Halloween, 1999 on Castro Street, San Francisco. A man exiting a train chases after his son. The son, dressed in fabulously spooky drag, continues to walk away knowing that his old man did not simply follow him to try and take him home but rather to get another glimpse at the life he left behind. This scene marks the beginning to Parade, a short story featured in Flinch #7. Even before it is revealed the reader quickly picks up that the man (Mr. Straight and… [More…]

SPOOKY HALLOWEEN REMEMBRANCES - CREEPING THROUGH "MONSTERS ON THE PROWL" PART II
Color Commentary by Brian Douglas Ahern, posted October 30th, 2009
One of the best things about many classic horror stories is watching the hero or heroine being slowly stalked by some shadowy figure or unseen creature. There's an almost palpable enjoyment to the growing suspense and the undeniable rise of the heebie-jeebies as whatever-it-is gets closer and closer to its victim who either suspects nothing or can offer no defense if he does. It's wonderful to behold in fiction if you're game for a case of the shivers, it is a god-awful thing to experience in… [More…]

SPOOKY HALLOWEEN REMEMBRANCES - CREEPING THROUGH "MONSTERS ON THE PROWL" PART I
Color Commentary by Brian Douglas Ahern, posted October 29th, 2009
When I was a kid, my younger brother was, strangely enough, also a kid, albeit younger than me. We both loved comic books. But while I adored those titles of the superhero variety, my younger brother Jimbo mostly adored monster comics. Jimbo's absolute favorite title was one we discovered in a seamy little hole-in-the-wall book shop in an unsavory part of town, which is exactly where you want little kids to have to venture to find old beat-up comic books. It was called (the comic, not the… [More…]

THE SCARIEST RECAP IN HISTORY - GHOST RIDER #68
Color Commentary by Brian Douglas Ahern, posted October 22nd, 2009
When I was in college, I worked at a used book & comic shop to pay the rent on my tiny apartment. Besides being right on hand when the new comics came in each Friday afternoon, the biggest benefit that came with the job was pricing the back issues. Well, not pricing them so much as writing on the little tags clicked out from the price gun. It wasn't long before I started adding little extras beyond the title and issue number. One issue of Wonder Woman stands out in my memory, on whose… [More…]
