{Comic Book Alert} MARVEL Pays Homage to MF DOOM x TidalWave Immortalizes Janet Jackson's Life Story in "Female Force"

The Late Great MF DOOM and Legendary Janet Jackson have made waves in the comics recently.  Marvel published a new comic book focusing on the Doctor Doom character, which is said to be the first release of a Doom comic issue since MF DOOM's passing in 2020.  It pays homage by featuring a slightly revamped quote from MF DOOM's Accordion track "Living off borrowed time, the clock tick faster" that Sanford Greene felt was a 'cool nod' to MF DOOM while fitting the story he wanted to tell.

 TidalWave released a 22-page "Female Force: Janet Jackson" comic, written by Michael Frizell and illustrated by Ramon Salas.  It follows Janet's life growing up in the Jackson household and rise through mega stardom.  Frizzel gushes about the issue stating "You know what's cool about writing about Janet Jackson?  It's like telling a story of triumph and creativity.  Her legacy isn't just about hits; it's about breaking barriers and being unapologetically herself."

{Book Alert} DOOM'S BISTRO- a MF DOOM Inspired Cookbook by. Ben Gore

I’ve been a huge DOOM fan for decades and this cookbook came together as a way to pay tribute to an icon of hip hop while adding a delicious dimension to his back catalogue. 

-Ben Gore to Creative Boom

Mm.. Food.

There are few artists who transition to the afterlife and leave a distinct impact across the world forever.  MF DOOM is one of them.  DOOM's BISTRO is an illustrated cookbook inspired by foods that MF DOOM mentioned throughout his discography, containing over 60 recipes for foods and drinks referenced.  “Deep Fried Frenz”, "Fillet-O-Rapper", "Nice Verse Pie", "Rapp Snitch Knishes".  The list goes on and on. It's surely a treat for any DOOM fan.

The only rule I gave myself was that in every illustration, there has to be a DOOM mask alongside the dish or an ingredient.

 Gore added a few notable guest dishes to the book: J Dilla's 'doughnut' inspired by his "Donuts" album, and Raekwon’s 'Butter pecan ice cream', inspired by the world renowned Wu-Tang track "Ice Cream".

For as long as I can remember, Tokyo has always been noted as a staple city in the fashion world.  Photos from BLOHM Shade Of Tokyo have surfaced of their SS 2022 sandals that heavily resemble MF DOOM's signature mask.  These will officially release in March 2022 with Zozotown, Deepinside, and Supply Tokyo.  "I'm real choosy on what I choose to let crew see".  Long Live MF DOOM.

{Personal Post} PHOTOS:: Broccoli City Festival 2015 + 'we are all DOOMed' art exhibit inspired by MF DOOM

Same day.  Two separate events.

The first half of this post is the Broccoli City Festival 2015 #BCfest.  

The second half is the 'we are all DOOMed' art exhibit... inspired by MF Doom @ Blind Whino.  I wasn't able to capture mad videos and photos of each artist in order to preserve battery life.  When I went to the charging station to get some juice, the power surge went out. lol.  I did have two videos, but they didn't make the cut for the post.  You can find some nice shots and vids of the event on @balleralert IG though. 

I have plentyyyy commentary but going with the brief option on this one.
Here's a glimpse of what I was able to capture..
