The Giant was the creation of a New York tobacconist named George Hull. Hull, an atheist, decided to create the giant after an argument with a fundamentalist minister named Mr. Turk about the passage in Genesis 6:4 that there were giants who once lived on earth.
The idea of a petrified man did...

PS: I first saw From Dusk ‘til Dawn on a date. I thought it was a caper movie. I had literally no idea that it was a vampire movie. Then there was that scene where the vampire band was playing a guitar made out of a human corpse....

A bit more on Unicron...
He’s a transformer who first appeared in Transformers: The Movie (not the shitty Michael Bay one). He’s some kind of Lovecraftian ragnorok robot that flies around space devouring planets for some reason. Who fucking knows. He transforms from a giant robot into a planet. Lame, especially when the cool transformers turn into handguns.

It’s going to feature an “unconquerable...
The Umbrella Academy
This is My Chemical Romance. They are from NJ. They are emo. They suck.
The frontman is biologically a female. Seriously.
Also, they let Carrotop in the band. Bad move dudes. (Trust me, its him.)
This is Space Boy. He’s a half-man half-robot gorilla body space thing. He rules. He’s the hero of “The Umbrella Academy,” a graphic novel written by the above fey frontman...
