Damaged #1 debuts today!
Radical Publishing and Sam Worthington’s Full Clip Productions’ new comic, Damaged, launches today, August 17.
The book is written by David Lapham (of Stray Bullets fame), drawn by Leonardo Manco, created by John and Michael Schwarz, and executive produced by Sam Worthington.
Damaged follows the story of Henry and Frank Lincoln, brothers pursuing justice on opposite sides of the law– one is a policeman, while the other has become a vigilante. Readers join them at the ends of their careers, as they approach retirement, try to train their young replacements, and finally face the long-running undercurrent of corruption in San Francisco.

Review: Castaneda Art Show- San Diego
Mictlantecutli, the Aztec God of the Dead, oil on canvas by Cesar Castaneda
by Brenda Waldrop, Media Editor
If you missed the Castaneda Art Show last Saturday night, you really missed out. The Voz Alta Gallery, an adorable little gallery on National Ave near downtown San Diego, hosted the show, complete with a band, a small bar, and great atmosphere. While the gallery was perhaps a little small to hold everyone and the band, Franky Two-Times and His Goons, everyone seemed perfectly content to spill out onto the back porch and the front sidewalk where they could hear the band through the open doors as well as they could inside.

DVD Review: After Dark Originals Scream of the Banshee
by Karl Madsen, Media Editor, Horror
One of the sure fire ways to find a monster or demon, or to release a curse is to work for a museum, or a major educational institution. More importantly, you have to be a researcher at a school or museum – anyplace that has lots of creepy old stuff, that’s not your mother-in-law. Scream of the Banshee takes place in just that type of setting.
TV Review: ThunderCats – “Ramlak Rising” and “Song of the Petalars”
by Sammi Bold, Reporter
ThunderCats, Ho!
The Cats are back in action. Check out our reviews of their latest adventures:
“Ramlak Rising” picks up immediately where “Ancient Spirits of Evil” left off, with Lion-O (Will Friedle), Tygra (Matthew Mercer), and Cheetara (Emmanuelle Chriqui) mourning the death of their father and King. Lion-O’s rage at Mumm-Ra causes him to abandon the mission of finding the Book of Omens, and instead wanting to avenge his father. The group starts on their journey, but not before joining with the adorable kittens, WilyKit and WilyKat. Lion-O’s angst drives the story forward by angering his friends and brother to keep going forward despite the harsh conditions.
Movie Review: 30 Minutes or Less
Facebook? I don’t check that shit, I’m off the grid.
by Kevin Gaussoin, Editor-in-Chief
Amid scathing controversy claiming the film exploits a real world tragedy, 30 Minutes or Less attempts to make a comedy out of a plot that might otherwise be best expected in a torture-porn like that found in the Saw movie franchise. Does it succeed?
(Spoilers after the cut!)

Blu-ray Review: Stake Land
by Karl Madsen, Media Editor, Horror
Every once in a while you get a movie where the main antagonist isn’t the most dangerous. That’s the case with Stake Land, a vampire movie where the bloodsuckers are the obvious bad guys, but are by no means the most dangerous.
In Stake Land there has been an outbreak of vampirism, and humanity has been splintered into lone travelers and small communities. The communities operate on a barter system and rely on the travelers to bring in food, medicines, tools, and luxury items. And everyone waits for confirmation of the safe zone in the north, New Eden.
