Since the release of my first book, “The Comic Critic Presents Seldom Seen Films,” I’ve received numerous requests for a collection of movie reviews featuring big hit films. I’m proud to say that said book is finally here. For my second, and newest book, I picked not only top grossing films, but also films the public loved. Not all of these blockbusters are Oscars, but nearly all of them are, and many received nominations.

I also listened to my fans and added new features to “Blockbusters.” I still rate the movies on a scale of one-to-ten, but now these ratings can be found in the index as well as in the review. The commentary for each cartoon will let you know how many Oscars the movie won, and if it won best picture. I made a few other improvements as well. But I want you to see them for yourself when you pick up a copy.

My table at Emerald City Comic Con is B-04. Once you go up the escalators turn left and enter via the Atrium Lobby. Once you’re through the doors turn left you will find me almost immediately along the wall on the left. I’m situated equal distance between the Ladies and the Mens, so I’m sure you will be visiting me more than once.

The Return of Stickman #1389 and A Report on ECCC 2012

I had yet another stellar year at the Emerald City Comicon. There were a lot or requests for another book, so I'm just having to make another one. I'm trying to decide to do a Return of Stickman book, which is long overdue, or another movie review compilation, or maybe both. I look a lot of photos from the table of folks in cosplay and fans who had me draw sketches of them in their book. I was deeply honored when Christopher Baldwin, creator of Bruno, Little Dee and Spacetrawler picked up a copy of my book.

If you would like to see what I drew in his book, he posted it here. As you can see below, the grand and glorious Mr. Baldwin was kind enough to do a quick sketch of an "Eeb" inside my copy of "Spacetrawler".

The Return of Stickman #1386

I'm really looking forward to ECCC this year. My friend Joe Manfredini is going to be helping me at my table again. This will be the first time I'm situated up towards the front. I'm hoping that the folks enjoy my new t-shirt design.

The Comic Critic Reviews Teeth

To my knowledge, there has never been a movie in which Vaginal Dentata played a pivotal role. I was very curious to see just how such an peculiar subject would be handled and pleased to see that it wasn’t made into a farce. The movie Teeth delivers everything you might expect in a horror film involving Vaginal Dentata, but in a dry, clever, dark way that gave it real credence. I also found that dry, clever, dark tone also constrained the film. So, while there were some clever moments, I was left wanting…um…more.

I'm looking forward to attending the Emerald City Comicon this weekend. Drop by and see me. I'm very close to the entrance.

The Return of Stickman #1120

I had a lot of fun at the Emerald City Comicon selling my book The Comic Critic Presents Seldom Seen Films. Between autograph requests I wrote a full week's worth of strips. If you want a copy of the book, go here.
