Divisions of Groovy has a feature they call MOKF Monday.
This past Monday, they posted up the entire issue of Master of Kung Fu #80 written by Doug Moench, with art by Mike Zeck and Gene Day. If you don’t have the comic in your collection [or even if you do], the post is worth a look.

I’ve been a Frank Miller fan since his days on Daredevil over 30 years ago. I followed Miller as he created Ronin, Dark Night Returns, Electra, Sin City and more. In recent years Miller’s output has been sporadic at best.
I was hopeful that with Sin City: A Dame to Kill For hitting cineplexes around the world that we might see more of Frank Miller’s Sin City yarns.
Since reading Sean Howe’s profile of Miller for Wired: After His Public Downfall, Frank Miller is Back (and Not Sorry), and seeing the accompanying photos [not the one above, it is probably five or six years old] of Frank Miller, I am still hopeful for more comic work from him, but even more importantly I hope that Frank Miller is physically okay.

Can you imagine how much different the world might be today had D-Day failed or had or first attempt to land man on the moon ended in tragedy?

I was 18 years old and on vacation in Tennessee. It was like a king had died.

It has been a while since we took a quiz so I thought Would You Have Survived Titanic? could be fun.
According to the quiz I would have survived. Doesn’t get much more fun than that.

Buzzfeed presents 66 Things You Probably Don’t Know About the Beatles.
My guess is you’ll know many but not all.

I was recently thinking about the cult classic I Married a Monster From Outer Space and wondering why it seldom comes up when folks are talking about monster movies from the 50’s.
As a kid, I Married a Monster From Outer Space was one of my many favorites. It still holds up pretty well.
Maybe I Married a Monster From Outer Space just needs more people talking about it. So to that end… here’s the original trailer!
