Trigger Warning: Drugs/Drugging

Ice Cream Man: Sundae Edition, Vol. 1

“I’ve literally never read anything like this ‘genre-defying’ sorta-anthology thing, but it’s f*cking awesome. The writing is strange and deeply unsettling, and the artwork is gorgeous. The new comic I most look forward to reading each month.” –Brian K. Vaughan, Saga Collecting the first twelve issues of the critically acclaimed, best-selling anthology comic ICE CREAM

In the pursuit of youth and beauty, you rob yourself. That’s the most basic message in the Substance. The very least you can get from it. But we can expand on that, can’t we? The disposal of aging women in our society, the need to meet male standards for women’s beauty, the men in position

Letterkenny Season 3

I noticed this a touch when Season 2 opened up and they just offhandedly mentioned Modean’s burnt down between seasons, but this season it jumps out at ya. Season 2’s last thirty seconds was Rosie coming out of her truck with a stud for Stormy, absolutely ringing Wayne’s bell, followed by his ex Angie who

What Happened at the Hypnosis Massage Shop?

Eh, fuck it, I’ve been reviewing porn, just this one is the most obvious. It’s weird and contrived, like 99% of porn out there. But the art is pretty great! It’s silly in that… well. MC goes to a women-only massage parlor, meets the masseuse who does NOT hide his intentions even a little bit,

The Nib: The Death Issue

It’s a wild subject to start on, and it addresses statistics, perspectives, and the current sciences surrounding death. The comics are insightful. Funny. Not always something I agree with, but it does open up more about what people are thinking about when they approach death. The sacredness of the act of dying, the fear of

Kenka Bancho Otome: Girl Beats Boys

Harem Scale H: MC has a lot of empathy and is the type to defend A: MC is not angling for it. She’s in an all-boy’s school, so being surrounded by men is par for the course. R: It’s a companion anime to an otome game, so… there’s the kinda romantic and yet masculine relationships.

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.

What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
