The Whale House Reviewed
The first issue of The Whale House has received a couple of very encouraging reviews.
Over at the Forbidden Planet Blog, Richard Bruton gives us a long, in-depth review, saying:
“…Cheverton doing his damnedest to make this something wonderfully complex, complicated, layered, and interesting, a story to keep us all guessing. And at the end of this issue, with a palpable disappointment at not having issue 2 in hand, I reckon Cheverton’s done it… All in all, this feels like it’s leading into something both fun and interestingly complicated, with Doherty’s easy on the eye style there to lessen some of the complexities to come.”
The full review is here.
And Nicolas Papaconstantinou reviews the digital edition on the MOMBcast comics podcast, calling it “fascinating” and “really good.” The full podcast (which also reviews Too Much Sex & Violence 3, along with all of that week’s other comics) is here.
Our thanks to both Richard and Nic for their time and kind words.
The Whale House, part one, written by Andrew Cheverton and illustrated by Chris Doherty, is available in both print (£2.50, plus P&P here) and digital editions (£1, available here).
Gay porn actor in Canada wanted for killing friend, publishing dismembering videos, mailing body parts - Boing Boing →

“Authorities in Canada are searching for 29-year-old Luka Rocco Magnotta, an adult film actor who appears on various websites featuring hardcore gay male porn. Magnotta is beleived to be the man responsible for killing a friend, videotaping and then publishing online video of the man’s dismemberment, then mailing body parts to various addresses in Ottawa, including the ruling Conservative party’s headquarters.
“A human torso recently discovered in Montreal, and a human hand and foot mailed from Montreal to Ottawa, are all presumed to be connected to the killing.”
If I see one more trailer for Prometheus I’m going to scream. I don’t need to see the whole film to want to see any film. I remember the trailer for the original Alien was just the fucking egg, the title and the words ”In space no one can hear you scream.” and I was SOLD. These days people want to spoil everything before we even get to the theater.
Okay, rant done.
And get off my lawn.
