I am not a happy person right now. For which I blame people. Drunk people. Immature internet jag-off people. Television Network Executives. Defensive fans of jerks. All must die. I need an Overreaction Violence Stick +5, a list of addresses and a series of alibis...

Or a substitute for sugar that actually TASTES like sugar. Fuck I want some Oreos without having to worry about getting sick for a day afterwards...

The Silencers: Black Kiss

Written by Fred Von Lente
Drawn by Steve Ellis
Colored by Dae Lim Yoo

The Silencers are the super-powered enforcers of the Provenzano Family. Helping to maintain the family's hold on local crime. But team leader, the Cardinal, is looking to get out and retire. Until his team is betrayed and someone in the family tries to kill him. The same person behind the new drug, Black Kiss...

The series is an often brilliant mash-up of the supers and crime genres. Plus bits of Chtulu style mythos. They also work in semi-cameos by more famous super-hero characters using shadow, distance and perspective to hint at their identity. A few of the anti-supers scenes (especially one near the end) come off a little clunky. But definately a clever use of various genre conventions to tell a story worth picking up...

The trade also includes a bonus back-up story featruing super-speed gunman Hairtrigger...

Quite possibly the worst movie of the year. Both this year and the year it came out (2004). I'm willing to put money on this. The concept, that in the S.A.T.S is a 'secret' test that is used to recruit girls into spy college. Where they run around in smexy Catholic school girl outfits with big guns. Chasing "evil" criminals who steal giant bags with dollar signs on them.

Plusses: Two hot girls makeout an hour into the movie

Minuses: The acting. The story. The action scenes. The TWO musical montages. Did I mention the acting? It actually reaches some new level of bad that would require advanced degrees in quantum mechanics to explain...

I mentioned to a friend that it was like "Totally Spies: The Live-Action Movie". I was being horribly unfair to "Totally Spies" and I apologize. It was just soooo bad. I could not look away. I'm thinking of searching bargain bins to buy a copy...
