Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. As someone who doesn't feel comfortable unless every scare inch of wall space is covered by geek stuff, be it stills, posters, concept art, comic book art, whathaveyou, I was really into reading about last year's Crazy4Cult art show, seeing the images that came out of that as they hit the net... well, I wished I was there for it.

Vern wants you to Pay Homage to the Man With The Ponytail... Steven Seagal! And get a PLAYSTATION 3 for the effort!

WIN A PLAYSTATION 3 JUST BY PAYING TRIBUTE TO STEVEN SEAGAL
Which I imagine is something you guys do in your spare time anyway, so why not?

Hello friends, Vern here. As many of you know, I self-published a book last year called SEAGALOGY, which forever changed the lives of the couple hundred people who read it. If you have noticed any kind of improvement in the world or change in the essence of a man since then I think it is fair for me to take full credit.

A contest to break your heart! Win an autographed Farrelly Bros poster!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I didn’t find the Farrelly Bros’ HEARTBREAK KID their best work, but I do think it’s a cut above their most recent stuff (I can’t tell you how much I disliked STUCK ON YOU).

The flick just hit DVD a week or two back and we’ve been offered a one-sheet signed by the Farrelly Bros. It’ll look like the one below, except with a pair of scribbles somewhere on it.

<font color=red>UPDATED WITH WINNERS!!!</font> Win A Copy Of Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN (Unrated) DVD...

Merrick here...

As promised, here are the winners of the contest.

First place, receiving the 2 Disc Unrated Special Edition DVD of Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN + a $50.00 gift certificate to amazon.com is spikepet for suggesting Zombie should "reimagine" 1982's VICE SQUAD. VICE SQUAD is a perfect fit for Zombie. The notion comes from way out of left field, the concept would be a giddy, masturbatory playground for Rob, and it's a well-considered idea all the way around. Congratulations!

CONTEST!!! Want a signed Ben Templesmith 30 DAYS OF NIGHT Print?

Hey folks, Harry here... Long before 30 DAYS OF NIGHT made it's way onto the pop culture scene - I had come up with a very similar, albeit comedic, story along the same lines. My story was about a fat vampire that founded a town up in the Artic region where drugs, gambling, prostitution - you name it, it was basically a Frozen Vegas where the night never ends - and he was a big ol fat vampire that was over-eating on those that crapped out.

AICN Anime - Win a Copy of Black Lagoon


Logo handmade by Bannister
Column by Scott Green



This column has certainly been expressing a fondness for Madhouse's (Ninja Scroll, Paprika) Black Lagoon. Without diluting the essential qualities of anime, the series feels like it was made for the tastes of an American action movie fan, and now, Geneon has begun releasing the series in North America. With a compelling dynamic between the characters, exotic locations and foes, and most of all blistering action, it's an anime series well worth checking out.
