The Red Wing

Kirkman's The Red Wing, if nothing else, is a pretty brilliant concept. a war fought through time. In My mind it is a concept that has almost infinite story telling possibilities, and is perfect for the comics medium. Lush art helps Kirkman's creation. What starts out as a study of father and son becomes even more against the back drop of technology, war over resources and environmental concerns. Really excited to see where this story goes.. - Brad Filicky

Classic albums - Nevermind

I am happy to see that the entire catalog of classic albums is now on Netflix streaming. I recently watched the episode on Nirvana's Nevermind. As much as I enjoyed it, i don't really l think i learned that much. Although i thought the interviews with butch dog were very vital. As great an album as Nevermind is, the band will never get out from under the long shadow of cobain's suicide. There is an obvious sense of sadness throughout the show, as seen in hearing Curt's hushed vocal takes on "Something's In The Way". As good as the dave grohl and the foo fighters are, we will always wonder what Nirvana could have been, where they would be... what we have is an incredible, culture changing legacy that will remain hopefully forever.

And the horse he rode in on

I know this book may be outdated now that we are way past the monica lewinski days. Thankfully kenneth starr is a footnote in history rather than somebody who actually change things or impeached a president. Hilary clinton talked about the vast right wing conspiracy and was laughed out. in carville's book he demonstrates that it did exist in the form of ken starr and his cronies. worth a read for sure.
