If you were one of the lucky Del Toro fans who got to see the At Home With Monsters<\/em> show at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art this year I hope you found the photo-mural of his house on the way out and took a selfie there \u2014 it looks like YOU are right there inside Bleak House, Del Toro\u2019s home of monsters! (see my pic above). Seeing that show was about as close as any of us will ever be to getting inside to see his collection. If you missed the show, then this book is the next best thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any fan of horror, sci-fi, and Del Toro films like Hellboy<\/em>, will love this handsome book designed to go along with the museum show. The legendary film director\u2019s collection of original art, movie props and extraordinarily realistic life-size figures is truly amazing. His appetite is omnivorous and wide-ranging from low- to high-brow and everything in between: William Blake etchings, pulp novels and comic books, Japanese woodblock prints, Simpsons<\/em> vinyl collectibles, Phillip Guston paintings to Todd Browning Freaks<\/em> stills, and much, much, MUCH, more. Also included, are pages directly from Del Toro\u2019s own notebook with sketches and notes for his films, including Pan\u2019s Labyrinth<\/em> and Blade<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monstrously good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rick and Morty Book 1<\/em>

Yo Dawg! You\u2019re going to want to pick up this book! BUUURP! Okay. Now that, that\u2019s out of the way. This hardcover comic collection is the perfect thing to hold Rick and Morty<\/em> fans over until the show is back on the air. If you\u2019re unfamiliar with the show, you\u2019re missing out. It follows the antics of super genius, alcoholic, and interdimensional criminal Rick Sanchez and his grandson Morty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The comic takes place prior to the season 2 cliffhanger, or in another universe\u2026sometimes it\u2019s hard to tell. Some old characters make an appearance, while some new ones show up in delightful stories that fans will appreciate. The art is fantastic \u2014 in some comics it perfectly replicates the cartoon, while others nicely transition into other styles. Also, the book\u2019s huge! And it talks to you. Seriously, there\u2019s an original introduction recorded by Justin Roiland, co-creator and voice of Rick and Morty<\/em>, just for this book. While a talking book is delightful, you might want to keep the tab that keeps it from talking every time you open the cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the show after reading the comics, you\u2019ll be left with all sorts of existential thoughts. Like maybe in another dimension you\u2019re living in a comic book and someone\u2019s reading a review about you! Or something\u2026I don\u2019t know. Everyone\u2019s gonna die, so you might as well pour a drink and enjoy this comic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
