Matt Fraction and Christian Ward’s ODY-C 

As a fan of comics and Greek mythology, I owe it to myself to check out the latest effort from Matt Fraction. This limited series titled “ODY-C” is essentially a retelling of Homer’s epic The Odyssey, of course with some twists. Said twists include moving the setting from ancient Greece to space, gender swapping of prominent characters and more. The first issue came out this week and I can’t wait to check it out!

My Brother the Bear

I got a text from Willy Tea Taylor the other day that read “look up My Brother the Bear – Deadball. Do it.” So I did. You should too. His real name is Daniel Beyer and he’s definitely a songwriter’s songwriter. And everyone knows I’m a sucker for a song about baseball.

Ien Levin

Tons of people are seduced by brightly colored tattoo art, but the true measure of a tattoo artist rests in his or her line work.  When I saw one of Ien Levin‘s tattoos for the first time, I was floored. Ien’s tattoos are almost 100% line work, and he is damn good at it. From fine lines, to bold strokes, Ien is truly a master of his craft. Don’t believe me? Check out his gallery.
