Mike Carey Interview
Interview by Garrett Faber
John Constantine introduced me to Mike Carey, I had first read the Hellblazer story arcs "Reasons To Be Cheerful" and "The Gift". Carey has made his mark in comics, writing such comics as Lucifer, Ultimate Fantastic Four and X-Men Legacy. I should asked him if he likes Daft Punk, I just got this Daft Punk live cd and it's pretty cool I guess. Could you imagine Mike Carey at a Daft Punk concert? I could, shit, I could imagine Mike Carey being Daft Punk. He'd probably be the one with the lasers in his helmet, standing there all tough like he's about to go all Cyclops on someone and blast their ass to smithereens. Yeah, Mike Carey's a great guy, no asshole comics ego here, thank god. He delivered 110% with this interview and I'm extremely proud to have worked with him in this endeavor. I seriously crave some French toast and my wisdom teeth just came out a few days ago, how lame is that?

As I Lay Mostly Dying
by Stephen Graham Jones
Everybody loves to badtalk the adverb, and I’ll usually jump right on that bandwagon. Except then, right in the process of jumping, I’ll realize I’m gleefully jumping, or blindly jumping, or some kind of –ly jumping — which is to say I hit a wall in my prose that I can only get over with that lolly-lolly adverb, as packing all the color into the verb’s going to draw just stupid amounts of attention to that particular sentence, when, really, it’s just one of those get-me-to-the-next-room sentences, no need for the spotlight, thanks.
ESPN Story On Real Fight Clubs
Here's a video story ESPN.com did on real fight clubs. It chronicles a group of Sillicone Valley workers who meet regularly to do you know what. Prepare though: This isn't what you'd immediately imagine in your head when you hear 'fight club' and think of the movie. I dare say, this looks a little ridiculous.
