written by Axe Binondo, paid for by the Deep Hell Patreon Heartbeats. The echoes of wooden paddles from a bygone era, bruising the ass of anyone cosplaying an anime twink. The anguished guitar tone of a Japanese band playing their first US show at an American anime convention. Can you hear it? It’s all here at…
ONE ANNUAL EVENT
The trip always starts with The Drive. I once heard that living as an adult is just a period of drives we have to take. Gasoline journeys to misery: knowing we have to commit no matter what to our lives, and see all of the resolution. That’s what I heard, anyway: it was mostly in…
THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN FORTNITE
by Karin Malady “If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you’re already dead! Brothers, what we do in life… echoes in eternity.” (Gladiator, 2000) There is glory on the battlefield. Not honor, nothing so pristine. Glory emerges…
FRED NOLAND INTERVIEW
By Bryn Gelbart Last time I was on Deep Hell I wrote about contract labor and the gig economy. That was through the lens of a handful of video games. Today, I’m talking to a real person about freelancing, writing and the difference between ambition and drive. That’s a big step up, if you…

THE WILDSTORM #4 REVIEW
every day I wake up to the laughter of a group of twenty somethings coming through the window to apartment. It seems like morning or night I am never free from their social ritual of gathering to drink and play their Nintendo Switch ™ system. This is not the future I had believed videogames had…
FUCK REVIEWIN’ COMICS
you’ll always probably get told that the best era of comics is some time before you were born. some curmudgeonly guy in a comic book store will tell you that something is wrong with the industry right now and it didn’t used to be that way. Somethin’s killing it from the inside out! while there…
