I miss punching people in the face.



Beat'Em Ups, or as others may call them, Brawlers, are my favorite genre of video games.  I miss games like Double Dragon, Golden Axe and Streets of Rage.  Remember cooperative play, kids?  When I was a child I would go to the corner store or arcade and drop tons of quarters on TMNT.

PBS - The Rise of Webcomics

The internet has given birth to yet another new medium: webcomics. Moving beyond the restrictions of print, webcomic artists interact directly with audiences who share their own unique worldview, and create stories that are often embedded in innovative formats only possible online. Sometimes funny, sometimes personal, and almost always weird, web comic creators have taken the comic strip form to new, mature, and artistic heights.

The Li'l Depressed Boy & Me

It all started on Comixology, that’s where I found the first issue of The Li’l Depressed Boy for free.  Being a fan of Image Comics as a company I took a look at a few panels of the book and like what I saw in regards to the art and downloaded it to check out later since I didn’t know how long it would be available for free.

Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months before I finally took the time to read the ONE issue that I downloaded and it blew me away.  Although the book was great, it didn’t blow me away purely due to it’s quality, it was how close the story hit to home.  The first few panels alone were scary in how much it mirrored my time in college.  I’m not saying that my experience was incredibly unique, but I literally felt like someone had discovered a long lost journal of mine.

Slaughterhouse & Eminem - Asylum (Arkham Asylum Edition)

Dallas Penn often does great music videos to some of your favorite under-appreciated songs with the help of awesome comic book & cartoon action figures, like Roc Marciano's Snow Remix.  This mash-up of Slaughterhouse's Asylym and Arkham Asylym, though . . . dude.  DUDE!

iFanboy Interviews Greg Rucka of Lazarus, Alpha & Punisher

With his new novel, Alpha out now, Rucka sees a new series start up, and a new world of spying and terrorism to tell stories in. The exciting news in comics is that Lazarus, with Michael Lark on art, will come out from Image Comics in 2013. Rucka speaks with us about as much of the book as he can, and it's certainly enough to pique your interest. We get updates on Stumptown as well as where the creator stands in terms of who he's working for these days, and what creator owned work means to him.

Pusha T & Kanye West Featuring Jack Kirby - New God Flow (Music Video)

When you're talking about New Gods, you're talking about a comic in Jack Kirby's (THE GREATEST COMIC BOOK CREATOR OF ALL TIME!) magnum opus of interlocking series 'The Fourth World.' It seemed appropriate to add his visual flair to Pusha & Yeezy's new track titled 'New God Flow.
The images are taken from New Gods #3 (featuring the first appearance of the Black Racer). Written and drawn by Jack Kirby, inked by Vince Colletta. - Jaap van der Doelen

iFanboy Interviews Robert Kirkman At #SDCC - Part 1

On the first night of the San Diego Comic Con, we witnessed the unveiling of The Walking Dead Zombie Escape Machine from Robert Kirkman and Hyundai and then proceeded to make fun of Robert because of it. But in all seriousness, the car was badass and it was fun to chat with Robert as usual.
But this isn't all the Kirkman we got, stay tuned for Part 2 coming soon!

Just Listen: @SiDEBARPodcast - 20 Years Of Image Comics


I can't believe it's been 20 years since the start of Image. This discussion really hit home for me. Image Comics are responsible for me actively buying comics in high school. I was a fan of comics before, but the desire to be at the ground floor of something really fueled my love of Image at first, along with dope art.

iFanboy - Episode #240 - Comic Book Art & Artists

Without art and artists, comic books are just words. And what would be the point of that? Ron, Josh, and Conor talk about what makes up their favorite comic book art, what some of the early favorites were, and who is doing the best artwork in comic books today. The idea of art is certainly subjective, but there are a few things all three can agree on; things like Darwyn Cooke, for example. From style to to storytelling, and artists who used to draw one way, and now do it another, we try to cover as much as we can. - iFanboy

Random Geekery: Loose Ends by 12 Gauge Comics

No one seemed to notice Sonny Gibson as he stepped back into 'The Hideaway'; a dusty little honky-tonk nestled off the Carolina highway. But before the night was over, Sonny would be on the run. From the law, from the criminals, even from himself.
