Star Wars #1 - 2015

Got it...

Great Art, Good story. But the print run is over one million copies so don't expect it to skyrocket in value because it certainly will not. I also picked up about 5 different variants as well.

American Horror Story: Murder House

I've seen many horror movies but on the whole I do not consider myself a big fan of the horror genre - primarily because much of what I've seen has turn out to be at best un-memorable and at worst complete and utter shit. Although there are exceptions, horror films today are for the most part  formulaic following the same standard approach as films like Halloween and Friday the 13th did 40 years ago back when it was still considered some-what original. I'm fan of both these films but I've already seen them many times. As a result when some idiot produces the same paint by numbers film today I generally shake my head and hit eject. The idea that television writers could create something to excite in the horror genre would  seem impossible to me. Especially today when television is for the most part a creative wasteland. I find that TV writing rarely reaches it's full potential, seldom pushes the boundaries and as far as originality is concerned you can forget about it. That's why I was surprised as all hell when I picked up the first Season of American Horror Story. Absolutely Unbelievable!!!, disturbing as all hell, incredibly twisted and one of the best shows I've seen in a long, long time. When the DVD was initially released I passed on it thinking that there's absolutely no way it could possibly be any good. As I said previously for the most part Hollywood can't even come up with a decent horror film, how the hell are they going to pull off a 12 part series made for television. Only because it was on special at Best Buy for $14.99 did I give it a chance.... I'm glad I did, two thumbs up, I damn near shit myself numerous times. In addition to being extremely well written it also has a spectacular cast staring Connie Britton, Francis Conroy, Dylan McDermott, Kate Mara,  Jessica Lange and Zachary Quinto to name just a few... Just bought season 2  also on special at Best Buy for 14.99. Can't wait...

 

December Comic Con 2014

Did a video of some of the books I picked up at the December Convention, also included some footage of the convention itself. I'm really happy with the Green Lantern Green Arrow #86. Been looking for that book for a long time.
