Soletron went sneaker shopping with me again at another one of my little sneaky SB come up shops in the Village.
I didn’t come up on anything that day but I did run into a sneaker fiend who fux with the DP.com movement. Sneaker Fiends Unite! NYC tour on Saturday October 1st. Who’s down to roll?
Lone Wolf and Cub is the greatest comicbook to movie adaption of all time. The original graphic novel was released in Japan in the early 1970s. By the end of the decade the movie series had been created. Shogun Assassin, the final movie in the series is one of my all time favorite flicks.
You normally can’t make a great graphic novel series into a singular feature film (see Watchmen) and the Lone Wolf and Cub films numbered a half dozen. Shogun Assassin was like a compilation of the six previous flicks. It stands alone because the story arc of revenge only requires a lot of bloodshed. Believe me there will be blood.
In the 1980s First Comics company started reprinting the original manga (Japanese serial comics) but they fell off before the reprinting was complete.
Dark Horse Comics picked up the licensing from First Comics and reprinted the entire series.
The added value was that the Dark Horse series also used the Frank Miller and Bill Sienkewicz commissioned covers for the books.
First week of football and I’m sitting pretty after Sunday’s games.
Now wonder Yahoo is in the social media shitter… It takes Yahoo until the afternoon to have the tally from the previous day’s picks posted. But I’m still sure I’ll be sniffing somewhere near the top of the DP dot com Dogghouse. Peep games…

Sean Price was right last week when he told me I was selfish. He and I had spoken only a week earlier about the the new Nike SC Trainers about to drop and we both agreed how dope they were.
Then Sean P saw my EFF Dr.JAY’s video with those same sneakers and blasted me for not telling him they were out. The subsequent ‘FUCK DALLAS PENN’ meme would shut down my TWitter timeline for several days.
I was prA’li foul for not reminding P that the trainers dropped, altho’ in my defense I actually forgot he and I had talked about them.
But you do know that P couldn’t have skilled the fitted as well as I did?
Yeah, yeah I know… #FUCKDALLASPENN!
