This is the time of year when the ComicMix crew starts to firm up our attendance at various comic conventions in the year ahead. It’s a frustrating process because there are a lot of shows and we can’t go to all the ones we’d like to attend.
It also makes me really angry.
Last year was the first in a long time that I went to a bunch of cons. It was fascinating and fun most of the time, but annoying at others. Twenty years after we started Friends of Lulu, there are still remarkably few women invited to be guests at the shows.
This is odd, because there are a lot of women working in the industry, and (capitalists take note) even more buying comics and tickets to cons. Wouldn’t show organizers like to demonstrate to this market segment that they are welcome and valued?...

New comic book Wednesday has come and gone. The dust at your local comic shop has settled. An eerie silence descends as you finish reading your last superhero book of the week. Now it's time for something a little more sinister. Welcome to Bagged and Boarded: comic reviews of the sick, spooky, twisted and terrifying!
House of Gold and Bones Pt. 2 of 4
The dream-like comic House of Gold and Bones is back this week with an even more dizzying and strange installment. Corey Taylor (the Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman himself) weaves a tale of a nameless, lost man in a world full of strange landscapes and savage people. This week our hero runs from those who would do him harm and comes upon some help in a dark forest. Here he learns more about "The Conflagration," a strange event that he may have to take part in. Bag it or board it up?...

Going into this comic, I had no idea what to expect from the frontman of Slipknot and Stone Sour and an artist who doesn’t have a page on Comic Book Database. Gerard Way of recently broken up My Chemical Romance won an Eisner for Umbrella Academy, but Corey Taylor’s storytelling sputters in his comic book debut. The plot is by the numbers, and there are several lines of dialogue that even Hayden Christensen would refuse to utter. (“And then there was a ray of hope”, “It was gonna be a long journey”, “All that’s left to do is walk”) Conflict is introduced and then dialed back. Not even a good cliffhanger can salvage this story. Richard Clark and Dan Jackson’s solid work with landscape, colors, and some of the character...

What happens when you give an apocryphal religious text to a Japanese game studio and ask them to make a videogame about it? In this case, you got a narrative experience that resonates with people of many faiths, even if for wildly different reasons. Richard Clark explains his own experience with El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, and the ways it draws out the player’s own views of faith, choice, and a higher power....

While I may been a bit harsh in my criticism of the indie film Quench (review), I did see a lot of promise in one of its stars, Bo Barrett (pictured), and today he sent us the news that he and some of his fellow actors have formed their own La-based production company, Badass Haircut Productions.
Barrett has joined forces with Adam Scarimbolo, Gil Menchaca, and Bill Parks for this venture; and they already have three projects in various stages of completion that should be available for viewing in late 2009. According to Barrett Paper Cut is a pure horror film, and a yet-to-be-titled film about two brothers has many genre elements to it as well. In addition, they have two more horror offerings in the works that are slated to be released in 2010.
Along with his producing, writing, and acting duties for Badass Haircut, Barrett is also one of the leads in Richard Clark,...
