Rockhead's 20th Anniversary Party! --or-- The Death Of Comics?

Ah, Rockhead's. If you live in the Kenosha area, no other name is as synonymous with comics and gaming as this one. Back when I was a wee lad just out of the whelping box, I remember when the comic store moved in just across from the Aladdin's Castle arcade in the Market Square complex. Finally! A place where I could get all of my comics in one shot instead of going to all of the other retail stores in town. Yes sir, twenty years ago, I got my first taste of the true comic book store. Now, other comic book stores came and went in this town, but Rockhead's always remained there. Sure, it moved around to a couple different places, but it pretty much remained the same. So, I thought it would be fitting for me to drop in and show my support for the store that gave me my lifeblood for so long ago. So myself and my buddies Randy and Jimmy grabbed some Chinese food and went down to get our comic party on.

I do not know what I expected, but I never expected what I saw.

Facebook whispers, "No"... WATCHMEN humor

No go watch the WATCHMEN trailer again!

The family will once again be united.

Just to give my fellow staff writers and all the readers out there an update, the angelknight will once again be descending on the great city of Kenosha on the 21st of August and I hope to see all my friends very soon as I will be in town for 39 days before I head to Tacoma. Please do me a favor and post a few comments on this thread so I know so of you are still alive and talking to me. I hope to see all of you very soon and hope to hear from you sooner. One other note to all my fellow dork writers and associates keep up the great job on the site and the articles.

Dorkgasm Vs. The World, The Legend of Curly's Gold

On my morning commute a few weeks ago, back before the seas ran retarded with people flocking to see the Dark Knight, I was listening to the radio. Call me old fashioned, but when driving the wide open pitch black roads of Southern Wisconsin before the sun has said hello, I venture on the safe side and allow for the possibility messages from the emergency broadcast system, rather than MP3's or CDs.

Watchmen | Trailer Park

Holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap!!!! I can't believe it, but it looks like Zack Snyder has actually done it...
Tape your jaw shut now, because you're going to have a hard time shutting it after you see this!

The Spirit | Trailer Park

My reaction to the teaser for this was rather poor. It didn't look interesting, and I worried it was simply going to rip off the style of Robert Rodriguez' Sin City. This newest trailer proves that wrong, and made me wet my little dorky pants!!! Pull out the kleenex, boys and girls, and watch this little gem now!

Terminator: Salvation | Trailer Park

Pineapple Express (Red Band) | Trailer Park

Why do they call it Pineapple Express? Will it actually be funny, or is it just another dumb stoner mess? How did James Franco get work after Spider-Man 3? All this and more in the Red Band trailer!

...Okay, maybe not the part about Franco, he still bugs me.

            It is with great sadness that we report that Michael Turner has lost his four year battle with cancer. He passed at Santa Monica Hospital in California last night with friends and family at his side at the age of 37. Turner was the creator of several comic book titles including Fathom, Witchblade and Soulfire, and he founded Aspen Comics in 2003.

            When Fangoria Comics closed its doors last year, several promising titles went the way of the dodo, or so it seemed. Several months ago, a new comic book publisher with a strikingly similar logo started hawking titles on Myspace, chief among them a movie tie-in for the much anticipated genre bender Death Walks the Streets. Soon, we began seeing familiar titles promoted by this new company, including BUMP and Strangeland: Seven Sins. The creator-owned properties left unfinished by the demise of Fangoria Comics had found a new home called The Scream Factory.
