‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ getting Criterion Collection with cover art by Becky Cloonan

Becky!

Fuck! I love me some Becky Cloonan! Fuck! I love me some Pan’s Labyrinth. But, I don’t buy them physical iterations anymore, declaring a war on meat-space. If I did, though, I’d be all over this.

Becky Cloonan and Matt Taylor drop gorgeous ‘Sex Criminals’ prints

bookz

Sex Criminals has a second trade paperback. It’s got a goddamn television show in the works. Why shouldn’t the comic series also have a couple of gorgeous prints from Becky Cloonan and Matt Taylor? There is no fucking reason! Both of these prints are equally appealing to the eye-socket mush, but Cloonan’s is a sultry slice of NSFW.

BATMAN getting two new titles from BECKY CLOONAN and others

Gotham Academy

Yeah, I’ll admit it. When I read the headline yesterday that there were new Batman titles coming, I sort of rolled my eyes. Being derisive from the jump doesn’t pay, folks. Because one of these fucking comics is being written by Becky fucking Cloonan, and there is a collection of talent throughout both titles. Consider me persuaded.

Gnarly: Becky Cloonan releasing hardcover collection of her minicomics trilogy.

By Chance or Providence.

Bonus! Bonus! Are you a hard-on like myself who has truly dropped the fucking ball when it comes to picking up Becky Cloonan’s minicomics? Well friends — lest us not weep too loudly for our salvation approaches. Our chance at redemption. Cloonan is collecting the three of her minicomics, Wolves (which I did buy, ha!), The Mire, and Demeter. The sons a bitches will be packaged together, and wrapped in a hardcover. Sold.

Buy These F**king Comics! – August 8, 2012: Becky Cloonan, Godzilla, Jesus Christ, and Other Rock Stars.

Greetings, Earthlings and interdimensional lurkers. It’s Wednesday, and that can only mean one thing. Time for me to lumber down to the LCS, notice that they don’t have the two comic books I want, and flip a shelf. Scream loudly. Dive head first through the glass, trailing blood and tendon dangling from said shards. Scream at drivers as I run wildly through traffic, picking bits and beads of skin and  skull out of my Kingdom Come Superman t-shirt. Stumble into a ditch. Write this column telepathically, using the fading moments of my consciousness to commune with you folks.

Let us share, as darkness dawns on crumbling psyche, the comics we want to buy this week. Certainly, with shredded skin and violated visage, I’ll miss something you’re eager for. That is half the fun. Don’t know what’s coming out? Hit up Comic List.

First Look: Becky Cloonan’s Art In ‘BATMAN #12’. So Good.

Buh! Wha? I didn’t know that Becky Cloonan was rocking out on Batman. Praise be to the Pencil Gods! Here’s a peak at her work on The Bat-Man #12, which is an epilogue to the whole Court of the Owls storyline that Snyder has been riffing on since the title relaunched in the New 52. Can’t fucking wait, man.

Buy These F**king Comics! – May 30, 2012: Batman And His Douchebag Bourgeois Buddies

Weeks like this are a special treat. Fat off the flesh of animal and the oak sodas after celebrating Memorial Day, nary a moment has passed after returning to reality and it is already Comic Book Day. None the less, it is the finest of  interstitial  days, an Island of Relief in the middle of the work week. This is the inglorious column where we discuss the funny rags we’re snagging on a given Wednesday. Per usual this is a douche-free zone, and if my poor taste results in me not dropping a title you’re interested in, by all means alley-oop a recommendation.

Don’t know what’s coming out? Hit up ComicList.

Comics We’re Snagging This Week: Get That Broadsword Out Of My Secret Orifice

As I type this, it’s Tuesday evening. I’m on campus in the middle of another seven hour school night. Fuck, man! When you read this, such time will have passed. The groans of labor receded. It will be the most special day of the week. No, no, no. Not colonic and sugar cone Saturday evening. Though that day is a close second. It will be Wednesday, heralding the arrival of new funny books.

This is the jam where we all share the comics we’re digging this week. If you don’t know what’s dropping, hit up ComicList. Share your list, who knows what could happen. My colonic buddy is going away this weekend and if you’re comically compatible consider this your entrance exam.

Nick Spencer and Becky Cloonan’s ‘Victor Von Doom’ Miniseries Canceled Before Its Published. So Lame.

Nick Spencer and Becky Cloonan were teaming up for what Cloonan was affectionately calling a “Teen Doom” miniseries. I was stoked. Cloonan’s artwork sizzles, and Spencer is quickly climbing the ranks with both his own titles (Infinite Vacation, ILU) and work at Marvel. Now it’s getting canceled. Before it was even released.
