    Chuck acknowledged that the bucket “survival food” was old, with the potential of being bad, but admitting it still had the potential for being good! 🤣
    Con in Pasadena? I had to check, Cali, not TX, tho they have smaller shows at the college, I figured not likely, as Pasadena/Deer Park is in the news again, for all the wrong reasons (again), after an SUV crashed into a LNG pipeline, turning it into a blowtorch.

Hearkening back to the events of page 269!

Meanwhile, this weekend we're bringing Zombie Ranch to the wide-open spaces. Comparatively. The trade volumes will be among our offerings at the annual Pasadena ARTWalk at Booth #32 in the shady lanes of Green Street.

Recommend: The Immortal Hulk

Posted on July 17, 2019 by Clint
In honor of the impending San Diego Comic-Con, which Dawn and I will be down in the thick of by the time you read this, I thought I’d take a moment for a recommendation. Believe it or not, it’s for a Hulk comic.  
Whoa.
  That’s the wraparound cover for Issue 16, and if you’re getting body horror vibes or even flashbacks to John Carpenter’s The Thing, congratulations because there’s no false advertising here. Writer Al Ewing stated he wanted to take the Hulk character back to the borderline(?) horror comics of his origins, and with the assistance of penciler Joe Bennett, boy howdy does he ever. I do most of my comics reading through a Marvel Unlimited subscription these days, meaning I’m usually about six months behind the curve since that’s how long of a lag time Marvel decided on (unless you buy the print issue or pay an unlock fee… and hell, son, I’m already paying a subscription so who needs that noise?). But I’d been hearing the hype, and so far about a dozen issues in it hasn’t disappointed.  Well, except that each issue makes me want to read the next, so when I reached the end of the currently available run, that was disappointing. If you’re not a fan of the old school horror vibe this may not be your bag, but if you liked you some Tales From The Crypt and its ilk, or especially if you were a fan of Alan Moore and Steve Bissette’s classic run on Swamp Thing in the 1980s, you’ll dig this. In fact this reminded me a lot of that Swamp Thing, perhaps a tad less psychedelic but certainly fascinating and disturbing. And I don’t think it’s coincidence that both series are obsessed in their own way with “The Green.” To go into more detail would be spoilery, so I’ll just declare: read it and see.
