Has it really been more than 35 years since the debut of Omaha, the Cat Dancer? That’s why it says in the introduction to Volume 8, the last of the collected series, just published by Amerotica, an imprint of Nbm.
Way, way back in those pre-Internet days we found our comics by happenstance. I was lucky enough to live in New York City, and had six or seven different comic book stores within a couple of miles of my apartment. If one store didn’t have a particular title, it was likely another store would. More to the point, it was possible for someone like me, an engaged but not maniacal fan, to find a book that was totally new to me. I hadn’t read any pre-publication hype. I might not have heard of the creative team. But I could stumble upon something, and it could bring me joy.
Such was the case with Omaha,...

Fall is the best time of year for music and film fans in Montreal. Festivals and shows a-plenty, for most it becomes a draconian decision between what to see and what to miss. A select few become so totally fixated on this decision making process that they fail to see anything at all.
For those living under a rock, Montreal’s premiere film festival Pop Montreal starts up this week. Though it’s diverse set of musical shows big and small are often the highlight, it is truly a multi-disciplinary fest and has a bit of everything, including a mini-film festival. Film Pop’s programming is helmed by Kier-La Janisse. For those who don’t recognize the name, she is the founder of Montreal’s own Montreal’s Psychotronic Film Centre, Blue Sunshine. A fan of all things cinema, there are few people more qualified to organize a kick-ass line-up as she is.

Today marks a great day for truth, justice and the right to bang your head to loud guitars. About every ten years or so, some group launches a jihad against metal that blames its sex and darkness for turning normal everyday kids into rampaging psychopaths hellbent on the destruction of all that is good and pure. One such incident happened in 1990, when a civil action was brought against the members of Judas Priest. The plaintiffs alleged that a subliminal message hidden in the song "Better By You, Better Than Me" (from their 1978 album Stained Class) caused two men — 20-year-old James Vance and 18-year-old Raymond Belknap — to commit suicide in 1985. (Belknap killed himself with a shotgun, but when Vance took the weapon, it slipped out of his hand and he survived the blast; he died of a painkiller overdose a few years later.) The parents of the two men put the band on trial,...
