Something You Can Read Now
This is for older teens only! It’s Dungeon Crawler Carl the webcomic. Adapted from the super-popular book series (which I’m currently loving). The gist of it is, aliens have captured Earth and the remaining people must now participate in an intergalactic game show. It’s kill or be killed by a non stop assortment of monsters.
The protagonists are Carl and his now talking cat, Princess Donut. The better they do, the more power ups they get but it becomes increasingly harder to stay alive as they go. It is stupidly fun, over-the-top gruesome, and surprisingly touching at times.

Hellboy Statue
I came across these Hellboy statues and absolutely love them. They were made for some special limited release 8 years ago. It was sculpted by Alban Ficat who does also sorts of amazing character sculptures. If you scroll through his Instagram, you’ll find a ton of behind the scenes making of photos of Hellboy and Abe Sapien.
