So earlier today, I’m getting into one of those dumb internet wrangles with a couple of other fans on a message board about comics, and I was warming up to this really eloquent argument, and then — this is what a big lazy whore I really am — I thought, “why the hell should I […]

Late again. I should have said the column day would be Saturday, I suppose, but then events would no doubt conspire to move it to Sunday. Oh well. At least I’m keeping to within twenty hours or so of my commitment.

Cronin Theory of Comics - Don’t Be Self Conscious About Writing Superhero Comics AKA “Why Puny Humans No Write Hulk Dialogue?”

I was re-reading some older Hulk comics the other day from the 1970s, and it struck me, no one writes the “classic” Hulk dialogue anymore. Now, Peter David had an excuse, as his Hulk was not in the vein of the classic Hulk, but that has not been the case for a long while since […]

Well. Usually Friday’s entry from me comes early, but today it came late. I wish I had a better reason for the delay but the plain truth is that I got snarled up in an administrative mess over at the comics message board I volunteer at and by the time I was done trying to […]

Friday Inventory Control

Welcome to 2006, everyone.
Man, it feels weird typing that. I saw them land on the moon in 1969 and I knew, I knew that by 2006 I’d be shuttling around in one of those George Jetson hovercars, probably on my way to work at my job in the first lunar colony. It sucks massively […]
