Name: Samuel Chastain

I am a christian that loves comics.  Hack/Slash is one of my favorites.  I am HacknLobo on Twitter.  18 years old.  Never really been to any comic conventions of note.  But I found Ifanboy and haven't stopped listening to theirs and other podcasts since. Yeah they got me addicted. Way to freaking go.

11.04.2009 - Lobo: Highway to Hell #1

On Nov 5, 2009 1:43 AM

Okay, as the username implies, I am a little biased.  But I actually didn't pick this book up. I was retiscent about this Lobo.  I like Sam Keith and all that, so it wasn't the art, but really it was the fact that I love Lobo when written for the sole purpose of insults, gore and general insanity and I worried that this would not deliver.  Basically, Alan Grant and Giffen were a...

Talking About Talking

I hate when books go seven pages with just little sentences and then you get to the pivotal moment the author wanted to stress and all the characters grow an extra sixty I.Q. points and decide to go monologuing.  (Like Claymore, if you read Japanese comics)

It was the unusual size that drew me to Cowboy Ninja Viking. It was my favorite.

Book Adoration

On Oct 22, 2009 12:00 PM

Never gave it a thought.  But I like how the Absolute LOEG did it.  One big slipcase and two manageable books inside. I do think that the problem of words being overtaken by the binding should be fixed by just adding a little white space to the side of the page.  Sure it can ruin two page spreads, but, between being able to understand the speech or not having to deal with a lit...

10.21.2009 - Invincible Iron Man #19

On Oct 21, 2009 9:15 PM

Haven't picked up a new Iron Man title in over three years (still haven't read them), so I wouldn't know what it is like.  But, I've begun giving Marvel a chance, so what the heck, it could be just the thing to get me pumped.

Can I Afford Comics?

On Oct 14, 2009 12:00 PM

Heck, I would give up television, internet and most other entertainment that really does nothing for me just to get my comics.  They have been my major entertainment for nine years and are fast becoming the only things I really enjoy.  So, my question isn't can I afford comics, it's more on the lines of: Do I give a crap about anything enough to give up comics?

I'm more likely to enjoy Incorruptable than this.  It's funny how, although I have wanted Superman to punch through some snob sometimes, I just can't bring myself to read about the hopeless case of a hopeless mental case in a hopeless world that has no hope of winning against said hopeless mental case.  I need some freaking hope! But, all you people who like that stuff, enjoy!

Review: Peter and Max: A Fables Novel

On Oct 7, 2009 11:00 AM

Sounds fun.  Not sure what attracts me to it.  But if the concepts Bill Willingham uses in his other stories are any sign of what to expect here, then I'm sure it will be a joy to read.  If for nothing else than wrapping my head around them.

Future Comics - Post Print Ponderings

On Oct 7, 2009 9:00 AM

I see what's coming but something in me just will not accept it.  I have seen and read digital comics before, but it just seems impersonal.  I feel as if I don't own a copy because it is reduced to a stream of data that I can access instead of a book I can see.  So, yeah, I know digital will win over print comics, at least if the trend continues, but I'll hope for some trad...
