new Maria Llovet in September

Comics truth: anything and everything Maria Llovet releases is worth buying and savoring. Love CRAVE and the tagline for VIOLENT FLOWERS sounds equally amazing: “Vengeance blooms in their veins” (as does Rich Johnston’s summation: “Some kind of Poison Ivy-style vampiric erotic lesbian murderous rampage thriller from Maria Llovet?”). So very, very in - on this and on the compilation of ALL THE THINGS WE DIDN’T DO LAST NIGHT, out in July.

meanwhile, in ohio...

According to Throwflame, an Ohio-based company that manufactures flamethrowers, its latest invention features a 30ft firing range, light detection and range mapping, as well as laser sighting, aboard a battery-powered thing with legs that can jump around.

Touted as “your ultimate firepower companion”, the robot’s uses include wildlife control and prevention, agricultural management, ecological conservation, and snow and ice removal, as well as entertainment and special effects, Throwflame said.

For just $9,420 and in the absence of a pet dragon, you can have your own fire-breathing best friend of canine appearance.
