Summer Reading

"She lusted in sex orgies and reefer brawls": Well c'mon what more could you ask from a woman? But seriously... what the hell is a 'reefer brawl'?






"Mere lesbianism was old-fashioned... and torture was the order of the day"
You know I think I DJed this club before? It must've been that night I was paid in spanks.


Have you ever wondered what Grant Morrison's Birds Of Prey series might look like? Kudos to Code Name: Old Spice aka 'Admiral Stripper' there on the right... i'm not sure what's going on here but once a tatooed woman in high heels and a bikini shows up I just know my invitation to "Adventure" has arrived.

Vintage Paperbacks & Digests: Highly recommend the 'Sleaze' and 'Drugs' section.

Reefer Brawl

Stoner 1: This shit is so much better than the last bag.

Stoner 2: Nah, it's not.

Stoner 1: Yeah, it is.

Stoner 2: Nah.

Stoner 1: Yeah.

15 TV-minutes later...

Stoner 1: Nah, I guess it's not.

Stoner 2: Let's make mac & cheese.

Grant Morrison on Birds Of Prey would rock my world, unto the very foundations thereof.

Though I do love Gail Simone with an unholy passion.

I hadn't read much of her stuff prior to Villains United last year but I was quite impressed with it along with the Secret Six follow up. You know you're good when you can actually make a guy in orange tights with a cape called Cat-Man a bad ass.

I might go check out a PoP trade sometime.

Gail Simone got her start doing an extremely funny web column on comics. Check it:

Including one of the funniest takes on John Constantine you'll ever read:

Really, if you want to check out more of her stuff, read Welcome To Tranquility - a murder-mystery set in a idyllic retirement community for former superheroes. Good stuff.

Always, in fact you should consider...


Not since Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice has there been a comedy of manners of this caliber. Here we see the gripping story of one young woman's search for self empowerment in a patriarchal society unable (nay unwilling) to accept her outside it's own myopic definitions of gender role and caste hegemony.

Will our protagonist yield to the temptation to lay aside her dreams of becoming an artist to settle for a life more conventional or will she fight to have the song of her heart heard despite the odds...?
