Fan Art Friday- Captain America by @SamaxAmen

"Hair trigger temper. The Last Airbender. Quick to Blair Witch ya. Authentic rare mixture." @Griffen

I'm not sure why Chicago underground rap vet Profound shared this link to the video for Erywhere (a track he rhymed on with this young cat Griffen) with me yesterday. Maybe he knows I'm from Dallas, and that I would dig the D.O.C. sample at the beginning? Maybe he knew I would appreciate how they flipped my favorite Black Thought verse into a whole new song? I don't know. But what I do know... is that this... is dope...

Drugs, black on black violence and abusive parenting? Hey kids, it's BATWING #33

But don't worry, I'm not gonna take your Starbucks from you. I just recommend you read this preview of the upcoming Top Cow series GENIUS while you sip your caramel macchiato...

So Dynamite Entertainment's bringing back the SHAFT novels, huh?

"Your time, watch how you spend it. It's all borrowed to begin with." @BavuBlakes

Happy Birthday to @theKingDMC

That dude @DaShade goes HOLLYWOOD or something! #ThankYouALot

All the rappers I like are awesome. We have established that, right? But now it looks like Austin-based emcee, action choreographer, and nerd ninja Da'Shade Moonbeam is gonna distinguish himself as the most multi-talentedest rapper I ever heard of by adding actor to his long list of side hustles. It's true! Peep this trailer for Thank You a Lot and TELL ME you didn't feel it like fingers, tough guy...

Marvel doubles down on Miles Morales.

I can't claim to have been the biggest supporter of Miles Morales, the multi-racial replacement for the martyred Ultimate Peter Parker. I haven't bought a single issue he has appeared in, but mostly because his much-celebrated entry into the Ultimate Marvel continuity coincided with my own personal crises. What I (from a distance) initially perceived as a short-lived publicity stunt clearly represents something more going on at Marvel, and in the comics industry in general...

Real Deal Comix: "More Rage per Page, More Slaughter for Your Dollar"

Every now and then, someone sends me an email or something complaining about the name GhettoManga, usually suggesting that in creating a magazine and blog with Ghetto in the name I am holding black people back or otherwise sullying our collective image. Since they have probably never bothered to read GhettoManga, they are probably assuming that its contents are more like what you would find in any issue of the long-running ultra-violent underground comix magazine Real Deal...

Wiebe and Upchurch are KILLING IT on RAT QUEENS!!!!

Have y'all been reading X-Factor? This preview of #7 looks fabulous!

 I have to be honest and say I haven't read or even looked at X-factor since it was relaunched. I'm not sure what exactly drew me to check out this preview.

Anyways, check out this preview. It's good or something...

WOW! Check out this AWESOME new comic JACK KRAKEN by Tim Seeley and @RossCampbelll!

PREVIEW- "HELLBOY IN HELL" #6

Know how you can tell I'm broke? 'Cause I don't have have the first five issues of Hellboy in Hell. Nevertheless, here's a preview of #6...

"Poisonous is my arrow. When you swing your blade, you're gonna hit my shadow..." -Vast Aire

HOLY CRAP! My dude 8 posted this track Sirius Star f/Vast Aire by The Quantum (Bill Cosmiq and Salvador) on the 808 Crate blog and I been bumping it all day!
