mind.in.a.box's R.E.T.R.O was unlike anything I had heard before -- a nostalgia-induced NES coma.

It can be easily assumed that the vast majority of people know the origin story for the man of steel, even individuals that would not classify themselves as DC readers or even as comic book fans, but what about in Superman: Red Son?

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: MATTHEW STURGES
Monday, January 4, 2010 at 4:01PM | Leila De Lara 
What with the Eisner-award nominated Jack of Fables under his belt, and a menagerie of other greats like House of Mystery, Blue Beetle, Final Crisis and now JSA, Matthew Sturges really is one of the greatest comic book writers today.
SHARP OBJEX was lucky enough to catch up with the man himself to talk inspiration, imagination, and even a little bit about his novels, Midwinter and The Office of Shadow.

The film follows a group of medical students that have ventured out into the middle of the wilderness to spend a weekend at one of their friend’s log cabin. And much to my utmost surprise, we learn that there is something sinister lurking among the snowy mountaintop, get ready for it… Nazi zombies…

HAVANT LITERARY FESTIVAL: A REFLECTION
Wednesday, December 23, 2009 at 8:18PM | Leila De Lara 
Ten days, twenty three venues, one hundred and one events. This past autumn saw one of the best literary festivals to grace the South of England take place in Havant, bringing a variety of entertainment organised by a clearly creative and dedicated team. This is definitely a cultural event that should be noted. Something that fans of fact, fiction, and indeed writing, will need to look out for in 2010.

AND WE'RE BACK!
Sunday, December 6, 2009 at 11:50AM | Erika Szabo Hello SHARP OBJEX readers,
If you follow this website you'll know that we're all 1) awesome 2 ) busy and/or 3) students. But let's focus on the latter two. Writing about counterculture is something extremely dear to us and we hope you've enjoyed everything we've had to offer. Unfortunately, November was a hectic month, for me in particular, as I couldn't update SO as regularly as I would have liked to. School, job searching and side projects have been a big part of my life recently. While fun, it's taken me away from SO, something that deeply saddens me.
With November over, and winter break finally here, we want you to know that we're still breathing! We'll be undergoing some changes to the site so that we can be more organized and proficient. In addition, I'm working on a zine companion to go along with SO, something we've been wanting to do for a long, long time. We will be providing updates regarding this so if you are interested in purchasing a zine, there will be that opportunity. Apologies to the artists and directors whose interviews have not been published yet, I hope you can understand. Once again, thank you for following our website and we hope you keep reading!
Sorry for the inconvenience. Hope everyone is doing fantastic!
xoxo
SHARP OBJEX Team

TORCHWOOD: CHILDREN OF EARTH REVIEW
Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 3:05PM | Mitchell Tully 
Over the past year we have been introduced to a plethora of films and TV shows chronicling the exploits of the human race, and their encounters with extra-terrestrials. While most people would suggest that our first encounters with alien species would be a joyous experience, heralding in a new age of technological advancement, these films are advertising a more pessimistic viewpoint along the lines of Alien Nation.
