Locke and Key: Head Games #5 Review
The newest issue of Lock and Key came out last Wednesday and it did not disappoint. After flipping their heads open in the last issue of Bode and Kinsey spend a fair amount of this issue looking at their bad thoughts trapped inside a Coke bottle. Probably the most important aspect of this issue is that Zach is finally starting to kick things into gear. After many issues of sitting back and letting things unfold, Zach has determined it is time to really start getting his hand’s dirty. No one in the Locke family seems safe from this powerful evil. Zach utilizes the keys he has obtained access to and, with the utmost of skill, begins removing old memories of himself form Uncle Duncan’s head. He then does something truly evil by seducing Kinsey. This guy is the worst of the worst. Once again we have crisp writing from Joe Hill and some super eerie images courtesy of Gabriel Rodriguez. IDW has become the new home of great horror. I can’t wait to see how this arc all wraps up with next month’s issue six.

Spawning Passion

While it was not the first comic book that I ever purchased or read, “Spawn” was the first book that I ever felt the need to purchase every month. Let’s all face facts; the comic book is a form designed in large part to keep outsiders out. Most books are are absolutely mired More >
The House of Ideas sold to a Mouse

I know that this week was supposed to be dedicated to all things back to school and so I am going to make a loose connection between going back to school and what I have to discuss here. Going back to school is very depressing for youngsters, it is the demise of things that are More >
Glorious Basterds
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
“Once upon a time in Nazi occupied France…” a group of bad asses led by Lt. Aldo Rain (Brad Pitt) throw down the gauntlet and scalp a shit load of Nazis. At least that is what the trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s, “Inglorious Basterds” wants you to think the film is about but Basterds is so much More >
Ness’s Mess

Anyone familiar with any portion of the life of Eliot Ness most likely knows about his time as the head of The Untouchables. The Untouchables were a group of police officers who made a huge splash during the days of Prohibition. Few people, though, know what became of Ness post Chicago. It is Ness’s More >
The Lucas Factor

Ok, so here we go talking about our favorite, or least favorite, train wrecks. There have been a few in recent memory that have stood out. I mean where to begin, “Indian Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” (I try to pretend it didn’t happen), “Beowulf” (I love the poem and to say More >
A Not So Perfect Get Away

So this last weekend, in a fit of boredom, a friend and I decided that it would be fun to go see a movie. He went to see “G.I. Joe” the night before so that was ruled out and, let’s face it, two guys are not going to go see the other major release of More >
Zombie Rising

Ok, I know that Rob Zombie is not exactly under the radar. He is, after all, one of the biggest names in Heavy Metal right now and has been for many, many years. It is not Zombie’s position in the music world that I am here to discuss, rather, it is the films that he More >
The “Wheel of Time” Keeps on Turning

So here we go. This week on Normality Restored we are talking about our raped childhoods. In my case it is not so much my raped childhood, as my raped mid-teens to early twenties. I began to read Robert Jordan’s fantastic “Wheel of Time” series as a junior in high school and I absolutely loved More >
Save Comic-Con

I have been going to Comic-Con since I was thirteen years old. I remember my first Comic Con very vividly. It was one of the greatest experiences I had ever had at that young age. The San Diego Convention Center was a place where the true comic book fans could go and talk comics, a More >
“Chew” on this.
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
This week we are talking about epic deaths and “Chew” #1 has one of the most disturbing death moments I think I have ever seen in a comic. Written by John Layman, “Chew” follows the exploits of beat cop Tony Chu. Tony is Cibopathic which means that he can tell the history of anything that More >
