The Curator of Schlock #350: Enter the Dragon
The shurikens were flying fast and furious in the direction of the red Ducati. One of them pierced the shoulder of the rider. The motorcycle buckled and swerved as the assassin of the Banana-Man failed to keep control. The next thing I saw was the rider pitching headfirst into a road sign for the Golden Corral,… Continue reading

McClurg’s Musicalia Playlist #139: A Twang in the Ashes
Sublime eclectic mayhem. That’s been my playlist project and musical life, one that begins with The Muppet Movie soundtrack and later involves performing hymns, death metal, surf, and bluegrass.

Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #336: Creating an Ending
It’s been just about a year since I last covered any release from Marvel. Not for any of the original boycotting reasons that I had been working with previously, but simply because there wasn’t a huge amount piquing my interest. But then the previews came through for a series doing something that I always enjoy: providing a… Continue reading

Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #335: The Dark Edge of Space
Despite doing this article for over six years now, I’ve spent precious little time writing about Batman. Ironic considering the glut of Batman media that DC continually puts out and my own propensity for Batman-adjacent series to read. But sometimes there’s a miniseries that piques my interest enough that I can’t help but want to… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #349: The Way of the Dragon
Our fervid chase of the assassin brought us to a roundabout. The assassin on the red Ducati took the second exit. We were gaining when the Revenging Manta, the ninja vigilante of downtown Orlando, unfastened his seatbelt, slid the passenger door open, and climbed to the roof. He advanced to the hood of the van.… Continue reading

Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #334: Confronting the Pile, Pt. 34
Finally, the equilibrium we all strive for in my titles. Anyway, let’s pull another series from the depths of the pile that’s actually a sequel to a series I had covered back before this article was a year old.
