Tonight is my last night in Coronado, and then I head off to San Francisco. I figured I should probably write something before I go, but I didn’t want to just write yet another generic entry about “an exciting new chapter in my life,” my “bright future full of opportunities,” or “setting sail for new [...]

The Undead Lampshades is Ed Gein’s human skin lampshade alive post zombie apocalypse and the insane spirit and energy released spent on defying it’s inability to do ANYTHING!

Cammy’s smokin’ crack with Carol Redcrow as they both agree Scalped #20 (Vertigo) is by far the top pick this week.  Fast Five picks include Final Crisis: Legion Of Three Worlds #1 (DC), Air #1 (Vertigo), Captain America #41 (Marvel), Conan The Cimmerian #2 (Dark Horse), and Robin #177 (DC).

Please note the only time Cammy would praise drug-use, is only when attempting to read Final Crisis or Batman R.I.P.

As the footage below demonstrates, everything is going according to plan. My fully operational battle station is in position, and the reconnaissance fleet has begun deployment operations. All too easy.

My dorm’s check-in is on August 27th, but we’re heading up a day early. So that’s actually just ten days away.

Quite the variety this week in comics!  No pick this week, but Fast Five picks include Secret Invasion #5 (Marvel), Action Comics #868 (DC), Welcome To Hoxford #1 (IDW), Astonishing X-Men #26 (Marvel), and Green Lantern Corps #27 (DC).

I’m recovering from a cold, so if Green Lantern Natu could stop by soon that’d be greeeat.

Awesome week for comics!  Pick of the week is Favreau’s Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas #2 (Marvel Knights).  Fast Five picks include House of Mystery #4 (Vertigo), The Boys #21 (Dynamite Entertainment), Criminal Vol. 2 #4 (Icon), The Sword #10 (Image), and Nightwing #147 (DC).

What happens in Vegas, may not necessarily stay in Vegas this time.

At Mare Island in San Francisco Bay, Old Smoke Morrissey fought and defeated the California state champion, George Thompson, in nineteen minutes for a purse of $4,000 and a side bet of $1,000. It was in San Francisco that Old Smoke also made his debut as a gambling impresario, running a popular dockside farro game from which he amassed a sizeable bank roll. One night, a local man named Jim Hughes claimed that he had been cheated. “I challenge you to a duel,” Hughes said to Morrissey, “so that I may restore my lost honor.” “So be it,” replied Morrissey. “May I choose the weapons?” “Of course,” said Hughes. The following night a crowd gathered in expectation of the agreed upon showdown, which never took place, for Jim Hughes fled in terror when Old Smoke Morrissey appeared on the field of honor with a pair of butcher’s cleavers under his arms.
