This week I wanted to switch things up, try something a little more ambitious, and switch sides. This week’s Beauty and the Geek is all about stealth cosplaying the one and only Cassie Sandsmark…
Dead Boys: A Fantastically Undead Adventure
Dead Boys Gabriel Squailia Skyhorse Publishing March 10, 2015 I am quite sure I am not the only one who picked up Gabriel Squailia’s Dead Boys based on Jay Kristoff’s review of the author’s style, “If China Miéville, Neil Gaiman, and Hunter S. Thompson had a ménage à trois, Dead Boys would be the love…
From Kickstarter to Titan: Rachel Deering’s Lesbian Werewolf Horror Epic Anathema Can Now Look Nice On Your Bookshelf
Titan’s softcover collection of the first three issues of Rachel Deering’s Anathema hits stores today. The book is a lesbian werewolf horror epic.

Ody-C #4 Matt Fraction (W), Christian Ward (A) Chris Eliopoulos (L), Dee Cunniffe (Flatting) Image Comics April 2015 Ody-C #4 is gross. Red and purple and brown carnage spills across its pages.

Incredible Indie Tuesday: Thank God the Jem Movie Kept the Keytar
New Pictures from the Jem and the Holograms Movie! (There is totally a Jem comic now which means I can put it in this news recap.)

Crying Freeman, Woman Slave to Desire! Sex, Sex, Sex [NSFW]
The first volume of Crying Freeman is entirely about sex, and that’s no mistake on the part of creative teammates Ikegami Ryoichi and Koike Kazuo (like another buff brunette with tears in his eyes—Kenshiro, son of Hara Tetsuo and Buronson—Freeman is the product of two men working together. Uncommon for manga production, it’s almost as…
The Twin Peaks Log: S.2 E.9
Kayleigh It was bittersweet watching this episode, considering the now uncertain fate of Twin Peaks season 3. As of this writing, David Lynch has stepped down from directing the series, and despite a billion #SAVETWINPEAKS hashtags and videos from the actors asserting that Twin Peaks (both the town and the show) needs Lynch, it’s unclear…
Witcher Diaries #2: Tentacles and Corruption or Why Does Roche Keep Yelling At Me?
Spoiler Warning: These diaries will contain spoilers for The Witcher, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt by CD Projekt Red, possibly the books upon which they are based by Andrzej Sapkowski, and the comics from Dark Horse, depending on just how ambitious/obsessive I’m feeling. Previously on The Witcher Diaries: Geralt proves his…
