Name: jeff waesch

Bio: After a long hiatus away from comics while in college, I became seriously interested again in late 2007.  At first, I was more interested in the more underground, experimental, and/or literary comix, but then I rediscovered image and dark horse and am  now much more engulfed in more popular comics (though I still prefer comics that are challenging/unique from any publisher) .  I definitely prefer creator owned books, but I have a few pulls here and there from "The Big Two".  I guess you could say Image and Dark Horse are my personal 'big two' though.

Comic Shots: MR. MURDER IS DEAD and Old Grand-Dad 100 Proof Bonded Bourbon
November 30, 2011 5:25 pm What a great combination! Chris: As a listener to the EOC podcast, it is because of you that I was turned on to the old grand-dad and ginger ale, as well as Mr. Murder is Dead. You're article has very firmly put me in the mood to drink some old grand-dad and read this delightful graphic novel tonight! also...Is this column going to be a regular thing?

HAUNT #19
November 29, 2011 10:25 am I dropped after the first arc, but I'll give this a shot. Can't go wrong with Casey and Nathan Fox's art is great. My first exposure to Fox was his work on Pigeons from Hell from Dark Horse maybe about four years ago and it had me floored!
