But that pile is thick and the editors admit they tend to look for the stories out in the wild. Also, lots of half-baked stuff that sinks a lot of time. You gotta pretend you're in Hollywood and slip scripts under restroom stalls.

We're having Walking Dead flashbacks. Love it!

One of the more rarely-seen but equally mesmerizing #1 Variants out there in the world.

Doing an HM cover is a time-honored milestone in any comic artist, illustrator or painter's career stretching back to the 70's.
Glad you'll always be a part of our rebirth!

It'll be fun but fair warning, this horror film is a disturbing one, a variation from other nights when we watch animated movies!

MOVIE NIGHT: "THE GARBAGE MAN" (2009)

Tonight's movie is pretty disturbing. Viewer Discretion is extremely advised. We'll be joined by the filmmaker, HART FISHER.

This is real indie fringe pulp.
