Joelle Jones multi Eisner award nominated series continues!

The killer housewife is back! The Schuller family has moved to Cocoa Beach, Florida, where life carries on as usual. Josie continues to juggle Tupperware parties, her kids, and a few human heads. However, when someone from her past tails her on a hit, she may be in for more than she bargained for.

“Lady Killer is worth its weight in gold for the art alone, but the enigmatic Josie Schuller is the real appeal.”—Newsarama

I love dark humor in my comics. Housewife Josie Schuller is an assassin. The humor comes from her balancing her duties as the perfect wife and mother of twin girls with that of a brutal assassin. Often times her two worlds collide in a humorous manner...like having to use her housecleaning skills after dismembering someone in a bathroom. She is the queen of rolling with the punches...or clawed hammers to the head.

In volume 2, Josie and her family have moved and she is now a freelance assassin and Tupperware representative. But she is running into quite a few glitches along the way. Issue #1 shows how Josie is adapting to her new job through her inner monologue...like having to clean up her own messes, and a mother-in-law that knows her secret, but still managing to keep her upbeat, perky outlook on life (read: sociopath). She gives us the seven rules of going into business for yourself as she kills, then struggles to hide a body in high heels and pearls none the less! We don't know where the story is heading yet, but a mysterious man has shown up on the last page.

This is an ultra-violent comic, but the artwork is amazing. Jolle Jones snagged 3 2016 Eisner Award nominations (Best Limited Series, Best Penciller/Inker and Best Cover Artist).

Movie Review: A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

116 min - Comedy | Western

As a cowardly farmer begins to fall for the mysterious new woman in town, he must put his new-found courage to the test when her husband, a notorious gun-slinger, announces his arrival.

There’s a million ways to die in the west and I’m pretty sure this movie hits them all. With random kills that take you by surprise and crude in your face one liners Million Ways to Die in the West isn’t your typical western. 

It’s got your typical love triangle but the romance is made bearable by gory deaths that make your jaw drop to killer farts (yes you read that right). 

I've compiled a list of things that make this movie great. 

· Sheep, literally everywhere

· Moustache (these are very important)

· ‘baked beans’ and not the kind you want to eat

· The prostitute girlfriend with the virgin boyfriend

· Sheep dicks….I’m not kidding

· Doing drugs in a group!

· Kick the condor in the balls

· “People die at the fair”

· Yes they’re still going to use the ice

· More sheep

· TAKE YOUR HAT OFF BOY THAT’S A DOLLA’ BILL

· Daisy in the ass

· Sheep puns

If you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, and I’m sure you don’t you should go see this movie. Reframe from eating or drinking because you might just end up laughing, inhaling your food and learning a hard way how to ‘die in the west’.

4.5 "even more" Sheep
