Love Everlasting Volume 1; and Ice Cream Man Volume 11- Horror, Horror. Ice Cream Man is great as always, but Love Everlasting was a surprise, despite the all-star creative team (Tom King, writer; Elsa Charretier, artist; Matt Hollingsworth, colorist; Clayton Cowles, letterer). I was not…

Ultraman (Back to the Beginning)
I was a big fan of Ultraman when I was a kid. In the early ‘90s I discovered there was a new “Ultraman” show, but unfortunately I was more interested in acquiring episodes of the old show on VHS than I was episodes of the new one. Somewhat later I…

Movies I Have Seen Lately
Saw a Takashi Miike picture called The Great Yokai War. "Yokai" is a Japanese term for monsters from folklore, as opposed to the more familiar kaiju. It's a kids' picture, about a young boy from Tokyo sent out to live in the countryside with his…
