A rarity, for certain

So, Joel Schumaker RARELY makes movies I would consider good. However, one such gem is the '80s vampire flick that united the Coreys called The Lost Boys. Maybe you've heard of it. I think we can all agree, it was not a view of what was to come from any of the people involved. That, however, is beside the point. What IS the point is that something amazing happened yesterday. I went by the comic shop I hang out at to pick up my week's worth of new rags and low and behold, what do I find has released? The Lost Boys: Reign of Frogs. A Lost Boys comic. About the Frog brothers. I had no choice but to buy it. I mean...Lost Boys comic. About the Frog brothers. Sadly, I have not yet read it, but I probably will tonight or tomorrow through the day. On top of my Criminal Macabre books and BPRD and the rest of the crap I bought, I ended up spending $70. See why I couldn't get to TLB? That's quite a haul, even for me. Now, TLB could be an awful book, but it has the potential to be amazing. Even if it's awful I will probably pick up the entire series because of what it is. I mean, it's a comic book about two brothers who work in a comic book store and fight vampires. And their last name is Frog. And they work in a comic shop. And I can't express my excitement about this book enough. Which very well lead me to be let down by it, but it's about time a comic about these guys was released, be it good or bad.
