Here's a one-page article I once wrote on Jason Little's excellent graphic novel called Borb, that came out in 2015. I made this for a very cool fanzine project that was asking every participant for a single A4-sheet of whatever they were inclined to write about, then putting all these mini single-sided zines together and xeroxing/sending all of them to everyone that had put some effort into it. I forgot who were compiling this and the name of the project (I blame Instagram and short attention span), but I definitely remember how it felt to receive all these great mini zines in the mail! The rest were more HC oriented (with admittedly more work involved than my one-page single review haha.)
​I should definitely try to get a similar thing going one of these days...

Nathan Fielder & Tania Al Ghul: super-mundane higher powers.

So! It is high time for me to catch up with one of my weaker gaps in my personal comic book pantheons: Grant Morrison's Batman run. This reading order article I stumbled upon is very helpful, although a bit cryptic when it comes to published trade paperbacks. But I figured I needed to catch up with some of its more pivotal figures first, so I'm still stuck reading Tales of the Demon (boy, ain't that early Ra's al Ghul stuff a mess to begin with? I thought he was the one training Batman but I must be confusing this story with the movies or something. My mind is not as focused and laser sharp when it comes to DC comic book lore as it used to, haha. Seriously, to think that I used to be a living DC encyclopedia back in the days.) 

Also catching up with The Rehearsal, a series that really overwhelmed me when it debuted. Season 2 is off to a very strong start too, almost even more meta than the first one, so quite fitting for a Grant Morrison-themed reading month!

Righteous Punks! Stark-raving mad Skinheads! Empowered Rap Battles! Sensitive Hitmen! Video Stores! Basketball Ninjas! Forget Stranger Things, this one has it all.

The most incredible thing about this movie is that it works. As a B-grade motion picture, I mean. The definition of which being something I could've seen on an actual cinema screen back in the late '80s and thoroughly enjoyed for the fun romp that it is. The most amazing part is that Freaky Tales literally caught me off guard as I'd never even heard of it, and the Lord knows I've been meaning to keep in touch with that sort of clever, nostalgic movie fanfare. Freaky Tales is deeper than all recent films in that retro vein, and better written too. Even when it tries to be too clever, it is still highly watchable and always fun. Some gags are very cleverly brought together, and the movie's chapter structure is top notch. So, who made this? If I'm not mistaken, some random people-writers-directors from some recent random Marvel movies are responsible, which explains the sort of high profile sheen and incredible appearances by A-name list actors. Really really good stuff, which I'll revisit eventually!
