I really hope "Pinupocalypse" gets more than a limited six-issue run. It's a weirdly perfect mashup of Grease, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the Walking Dead, and issue #1 was way more fun than I expected it to be.
On her eighteenth birthday, 1950s dream girl (Foxy) ends up in a zombie apocalypse with only a greaser chick (Roxy) at her side.

My favorite albums of 2024.
I didn't expect a new album from the Cure this year, and I really didn't expect it to be any good, but wow... this is their best work since Disintegration (1989).
1. The Cure - Songs of a Lost World
2. Halsey - The Great Impersonator
3. Hazel English - Real Life
4. Soft Kill - Escape Forever
5. Flo Milli - Fine Ho, Stay
6. Mayflower Madame - Insight
7. Amy Shark - Sunday Sadness
8. Girli - Matriarchy
9. Latto - Sugar Honey Iced Tea
10. Night in Athens - Wasted Reflektions
11. Ministry - HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES
12. The Gluts - Bang!
13. Underworld - Strawberry Hotel
"Gumaa: The Beginning of Her" is a masterpiece of visual media that uses more images than words to tell a unique tale of vengeance. Issue #3 pictured (Titan Comics, 2024). Concept, script, and layouts by Jeehyung Lee; art by Nabetse Zitro and Jeehyung Lee.
"The Cull" #1 by Kelly Thompson (words) and Mattia De Iulis (art) fires on all cylinders for me: kids sneaking out for an adventure, with masterful storytelling and stunning art. (Image, 2023)
"Hallows' Eve" (Marvel, 2023, 5 issues) came out of the "Dark Web" arc in the Amazing Spider-Man and is the best miniseries I've read this year. It's an anithero tale with a classic-horror twist thanks to an innovative new superpower. Written by Erica Schultz, with art by Michael Dowling and colors by Brian Reber.
Rose McGowan in the Gen X masterpiece, "The Doom Generation" (1995)
Sophie Marceau in the off-the-rails French crime movie "Mad Love" (L'Amour Braque) from 1985.
"Vanishing Point" (1971) stars a classic Dodge Challenger but is a drama, about how a man's existential crisis plays out, masquerading as the best car-chase movie ever made. If you can find the UK theatrical release, watch that version imho
The Star Wars "side books" are the best Star Wars books out right now imho (headed by "Bounty Hunters" and "Doctor Aphra"). And now Sana Starros enters the pantheon thanks to Justina Ireland (writer), Pere Pérez (artist), and Jay David Ramos (color artist); variant cover by Sara Pichelli. [Marvel, Star Wars: Sana Starros #1, released February 2023]
Willow goes dark in "The Vampire Slayer" #10, an alternate telling where Buffy has lost her Slayer powers and her memory. [Boom!Studios 2023; written by Sarah Gailey, illustrated by Hannah Templer, colored by Valentina Pinto and Francesco Segala]

Libuse Safránková stars in "Three Wishes For Cinderella" (1973), a Czechoslovakian retelling of the classic fairy tale that uses magic acorns and an owl in place of a Fairy Godmother.
"Everybody's doing the best he can in his own way." [Glenn Ford hides his stash as Joe Miracle, while Evelyn Keyes, as the "primary worker" at a settlement house, serves as his foil, in the equally brutal noir and touching Christmas classic "Mr. Soft Touch" (1949)]
