Vamping

 Eva Hopkins, my frequent girlfriend, has finally seen the seed of her darkest dream blossom into a black rose called…Dark Ivory! 

 

Dark Ivory is Eva’s new comic, created in collaboration with the rather talented Joe Linsner, and stars a sexy teen vampire who has just earned her wings. It’s “My So Called Life” meets “Harry Potter if Harry were a girl and drank blood”. It’s in comic shops now and if you don’t pick up a copy then you must be a vampire, because you would definitely suck.

Bloggin’ the Log

 I have been getting mad penis spam lately. It’s just one “Subj: Help your little friend” after another this past week. I mean, I know a daily dose of this shit is now a staple of the American breakfast, like toast and coffee, but I haven’t been this bombarded for a while. I’m starting to question my wang a little too, like maybe Tiny Elvis isn’t good enough for spreading my frosting onto all the female layer cakes out there.

I might have to buy some of their product after the president of Nigeria finishes that money transfer he’s been promising.

War without tears

Flipping through a comic book recently I, a full grown adult enjoying children’s literature, was nonetheless galled to come across this boastful endorsement contained within a video game advertisement: 

The ad included these screen shots from the game:

 

The fact that this “mature” war game features a cousin of Ash Ketchum facing down a tripple-turreted goof tank made me wonder what the makers of Advance Wars consider “maturity” to be. A visit to their website, however, confirms that their game does indeed take a stern, adult look at the grisly realities of war, as reflected in the following screen captures.

Candy grams

Remember those 80s-era ads of marathon runners, astronauts, Green Berets, etc. getting the winning edge from a Snickers bar? Here’s the next generation of clinically unsubstantiated miracle candy:

From the website: “Get charged, stay energized. It’s the peanuts, nougat, caramel and chocolate you love with an added kick to help get you through the day.” (the “added kick” happens to be the active ingredient in ox bile.)

A Snickers crossed with a Red Bull, then. Moloko Plus can’t be far off now. Of course, this isn’t the first experiment in candy “supplements” that has ever been attempted. Snickers Charged isn’t likely to fair better than other recent attempts, either:

Face!

Fanboy Face-Off, the comic podcast for people who like robust podcasts but without all the caffeine, has just reviewed Deep Fried. Their compliments reflect perfectly the roller coaster ride that is the Deep Fried experience!

“Not something I would directly seek out.”

“‘Aww cool’ and awesome at the same time!”

“This is OK.”

“Hilarious!”

“Ehh.”

Deep Fried: the coin toss of comic books! Hear their review.
