Dead Tree Day Job Follies

This is horrible of me to just be mentioning now, but I’ve got a pair of pretty-damn-cool-if-I-say-so-my-damn-self horror-related pieces in magazines currently on the stands:

Wizard #181 (it has two covers: one with Brande Roderick, one with an Ed McGuinness drawing of the Astonishing X-Men) contains a countdown of the 25 Scariest Moments in comics that I co-wrote, edited and helped compile. The subject of whether or not comics can truly be scary in the way we take for granted with film or literature has been discussed on this blog for a long time, and I think we did a solid job of making an argument for the affirmative. Pick one up and check it out.

Meanwhile, ToyFare #111 (it has an US Weekly-style parody cover featuring Brangelina toys, god help us) contains a fake ad I came up with for a little something I like to call Hellrazors. I’m particularly proud of the tagline: “They’ll tear your beard apart.” What’s your pleasure?
