DITKO WEEK Day Six is here! You know, I had an epiphany last night where I realized the true hidden theme amongst most of these Ditko entries. I shall reveal it in a few days’ time, because Ditko Week is extending through the middle of next week. Why? Because Mr. Steve Ditko gave us too […]

So I gather Rob Thomas is in talks to continue his canceled television show, Veronica Mars, as a DC comic book.
I was, let us say, less excited than some of my fellow Veronica fans to hear this.

Alright, I admit it, I missed a day. The circumstances were beyond my control, as the cable conked out as I was going to post yesterday’s entry. It’s up now, though, in its rightful spot, so scroll down and check it out.
Welcome, now, to DITKO WEEK: Day Five! It’s time for the companion piece to […]

(I’m getting some weird problems from Firefox and the Wordpress posting form that caused me to lose yesterday’s column, and almost lose today’s– something’s spiking my CPU usage up to 100% and freezing stuff up. I know Firefox uses a lot of RAM, but… anybody have an idea, or will my computer self-destruct in ten […]
Quick reminder for Comics Day!

Well, not so quick, Wednesday’s pretty much over for retailers… but anyway, I wanted to mention this. You may remember me talking to David Yurkovich about his Bill Mantlo project last October.
I’m very pleased to report that Mantlo: A Life In Comics hit my store today, and it’s gorgeous. I would urge you to check it […]

My column about last week’s comics is up on the Atomic Comics blog. It’s the first part of a story arc, so it makes sense, but it’s also the middle of a series, yet the writer keeps things simple and accessible and entertaining. I know, shocking. Click the link if you’re interested!
Watching the River Flow on Today’s Marvel Releases

What’s the matter with me,
I don’t have much to say,
Daylight sneakin’ through the window
And I’m still in this all-night cafe.
Walkin’ to and fro beneath the moon
Out to where the trucks are rollin’ slow,
To sit down on this bank of sand
And watch the river flow.
Here are a couple of quick thoughts on today’s releases from Marvel […]

If you have a nagging comic book question that you’d like to know the answer (or at least AN answer) to, just ask me, and I’ll see if I can’t answer it (and if I can’t, then hopefully I can find an expert on the subject who CAN). Sounds cool, right? Remember my e-mail contact […]
Help me buy my comics this week!

Okay, so I’m a bit gun-shy about doing this, since last week a bunch of people directed me toward Flash #13. But that’s okay - how will I know what good comics look like if I don’t occasionally read some putrid ones?
