Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
In Hellboy, Guillermo Del Toro finds the big red muse that lets his artsy aesthetics and blockbuster tendencies combine into a glorious mess of pulp fiction.
Pan's Labyrinth? The Devil's Backbone? Blade 2, even? Del Toro only has one story, but tells it with such heartfelt glee and attention to detail that no one minds.
The Walking Dead
Here's something that annoys me about interesting stuff: as soon as it gets juicy, it's all over. This truth I apply across the board to relationships, independent publishing, acne, everything. But especially to zombie movies. So many questions are still left unanswered in this, the greatest of genres.
Tales From Outer Suburbia
If the word 'awesomest' was an illustration (or even a word) then it would be illustrated by Shaun Tan. Tan is the king of Australian book illustration and creator of last year's award-winning comic book The Arrival.
Typically Tan's stories are allegories about the human condition, his skill as an artist and writer is to take everyday themes and create an extraordinary and hallucinatory experience.

Once a year, publishers pick a single issue to give away in an attempt to lure new customers into the crack-like addiction of monthly comic buying.
The Lifted Brow issue 002
It has been said, and perhaps rightly so, that there's not much to do in Brisbane of an evening. Sometimes there's not much to do of a morning either, or even of a late afternoon. This is why we should look twice at the creative output of young Brisbanians for, like so many Huckleberry Finns, they rely on their plucky imaginations in the daily quest for amusement.
