This Sunday I’m thankful for the return of Heavy Metal magazine. Late in 2024 Heavy Metal ran a Kickstarter to relaunch the magazine with a new #1. Such a great cover. I backed it. And then I decided to support them for the first while by buying a one-year subscription for the next four… Read more »
Alien Legion
This Sunday I’m thankful for Alien Legion comics. I mean, look at these magnificent bastards!: I collected it as it was coming out in the 1980s and -90s. It was such a fun read! About a decade ago I tracked down a few of the compilations and graphic novels. I still pull them out… Read more »
Cowboys and Dinosaurs!
This past Sunday I’m thankful for Wild West dinosaur movies. The Beast of Hollow Mountain Dinosaurus! And, of course, The Valley of Gwangi All three are on Blu-ray now! Though I’m sure you could find them in a few places if you looked around. The only way any of these films could be improved is… Read more »
Catalyst Alpha
This past Sunday I’m thankful for the upcoming 50th Anniversary Edition of Metamorphosis Alpha! A year ago Catalyst Game Labs posted news they are going to release a semicentennial version of that greatest of SF RPGs, the Madness-in-a-Can that is MetAl! Metamorphosis Catalyst That just feels right. I’m looking forward to seeing where this… Read more »
Pirates to Port, Zombies to Starboard!
This Sunday I’m thankful for Pirates. And Zombies. I haven’t been involved in the Zombicide world since Toxic City Mall; I haven’t played any of the games in over a decade. Then Gamefound sent me a heads-up about the new crowdfund: Su-nu-va … ! This looks like it could be peanut butter and chocolate!… Read more »
Vampire Hunter!
This Sunday I’m thankful for Captain Kronos. I first learned of Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter from an interview Grognardia did with James Raggi eight months ago. (I’ve come to really appreciate the fact that as much as new films and shows are constantly being churned out, there is an, for all intents and purposes,… Read more »
Vargr!
This past Sunday I’m thankful for Vargr in combat armour. Some time ago I backed this Kickstarter in hopes of finally getting my hands on some Zhodani commandoes. That didn’t pan out as well as I’d hoped it would. What did happen though was an unexpected bonus. Over the course of the project they… Read more »
Sunday Roast
This Sunday, I’m thankful for Sunday Roast at my local pub. When my wife and I were in England years ago we were lucky enough to enjoy a couple excellent examples of this classic dinner. Recently our favourite pub, The Irish Heather Shebeen, brought their Sunday Roast back into rotation. It’s a great way… Read more »
The Kamandi Challenge
This Sunday I’m thankful for older comics. I collected this comic through 2017, and read the first three or four issues. Then my local shop closed. When a new one opened in the same spot a few months later I got them to order me in the issues I’d missed and then collected the… Read more »
Alien Horrors
This past Sunday, and this St. Patrick’s Day, I’m thankul for Tim Curran and Weird House Press. I first discovered Curran’s work in an anthology called High Seas Cthulhu. That was a fun read. Curran’s short story titled, “The Wreck of the Ghost” really stuck with me so I looked him up. I was… Read more »
