Soyacide-ing
As mentioned in a previous post, my roomie Ben Templesmith just gave me Suicide Girls: Beauty Redefined for my belated Xmas gift. I’ve only had a chance to flip through it but will explore it more later. The perennial favorite Mary is there. And, I gotta say that my new fave is Soya.

Stunning.
And…according to her Tumblr, she’s a bit of a nerd....
Suicide Girls: Jimmy Redefined
My roommate @Templesmith got home and gave me my belated Christmas present. The big coffee table style book, Suicide Girls: Beauty Redefined.

After all that bull honky with trying to get a car service, they call (leaving voice mail as I was showering) 20 minutes before scheduled pick up time to say they’re “running 30 minutes or so behind”. So, I immediately jumped on train from Washington heights. Got off at 59th & got a cab. Eff you, car service!
Oh, and they told me next call would be when they were on the...
Scud: The Disposable Assassin Kills Jimmy Aquino
I’m currently reading this giant book (almost 800 pages!) right now and am about 3/4 through it. It’s the complete collection of Scud: The Disposable Assassin and collects all 24 issues plus a couple of one-shots. And I’m loving every bit of it! I remember this back in the day but never picking it up. It was created/written/illustrated by Rob Schrab (of The Sarah Silverman...
Watch
YES! The teaser trailer for Resident Evil: Retribution (the 5th installment of the franchise) is up! It was exclusively shown on Attack of the Show during “The Feed” segment.

You know I loves me some zombie goodness and am a huge fan of...

Jimmy Aquino Learns Infinite Kung Fu!
I am still catching up on books from 2011 that I bought ages ago and am just now getting to. It took me a couple of days, but I just finished the almost 500 page graphic novel, Infinite Kung Fu by Kagan McLeod. This would have definitely been one of my top picks of 2011 if I had gotten around to it. I bought it last spring/summer and am embarrassed that it took me this long to read it. Kudos to...

Inspiration - Michelle Vargas
If you follow me on various social media, then you have heard me speak of Michelle Vargas. She’s a videoblogger and video producer (among many other talents). We first met at the beginning of last year when she and her comedy partner Grace Helbig came on my podcast (Comic News Insider). Grace and I have become pals and has come on the podcast several times since then but Michelle is...

Jimmy Aquino LOVES Love and Capes!
I am ashamed it’s taken me this long to read the great comic book series Love and Capes, but I finally did! Well, the first 6 issues at least. As the creator Thom Zahler describes it:
“Love and Capes” is a heroically super romantic comedy situation comedy in comic book form from Thom Zahler.
“I’ve always liked superheroes, and I’ve always liked romantic...

Happy 100th to Charles Addams!
Happy 100th birthday to one of my favorite cartoonists ever, Charles Addams. He who became famous for creating The Addams Family which became a TV show, animated series, film(s) and Broadway show. And whose macabre cartooning often described my day perfectly or perhaps how I wanted to act towards others at a given moment. What? I can be dark. A LOT.
Rock on, Chas. Your legacy lives on!
Zombees!!!
You’ve laughed at me for years about the zombie thing. It starts small and grows. ZOMBEES!
Organ Trail Claims Jimmy Aquino and Friends
I never grew up playing the video game Oregon Trail but was familiar with it when I got older. Still, don’t ever remember playing it. It’s a survival game that depends on the decisions you make throughout.
Well, the people over at The Men Who Wear Many Hats have made a spoof game called Organ Trail. As a zombie lover, this immediately appealed to me. I know I’m late to this...
Bored Comic Ladies

After drawing this print of Poison Ivy a couple months back …
Poison Ivy
I decided it might be fun to draw popular lady comic characters who looked equally as bored. Like - ho hum, I’m gorgeous and quite powerful and have stuff to do, but I’m waiting for the dryer to stop running before I can leave the house … you know, so my house doesn’t catch on fire and I lose all my awesome...
