Fear not, I’m still alive. No, I did not get kidnapped by ninjas. Monday’s post is now up, though. It’s longer than a usual column, and has twice the passion! Don’t neglect to read it.
So it’s Halloween. I guess I should do something suitably spooky. Hmm… what would be a good topic to sink my […]

My buddy, Paul Newell, suggested that I do a Top Five Legion of Superheroes Rejects, and while I thought the idea was a fine one, I didn’t think I could really do it justice. Not the way Paul, himself, could - so here are his Top Five Legion Rejects!
Enjoy!

Okay, so we had the Top 100 Marvel and DC Characters List. I even went a little further, and showed you the NEXT hundred on the list. But what about those characters that were less supported? THEY have their fans, too, right? So this week, each day I’m going to take a look at some […]

Well, it looks pretty good. It seems to have an entirely different plot than the comic book, though.

Let me establish right off the bat that I have no problem with the basic concept of misunderstandings between characters leading to conflict. It is quite the long-standing literary technique. However, I think it is still fair to take issue with those instances where misunderstandings come from characters saying things they would not normally say, […]

I didn’t notice this when he posted it, or else I’d have posted about it then, but Keith Champagne came by the blog a couple of weeks ago to make the following offer - if you buy his upcoming comic, Countdown: Arena #1, and do not enjoy it - he will purchase the comic back […]

First up, here’s an interesting animated “trailer” for the upcoming graphic novel, The Nightmare Factory. Written by Joe Harris and art by the great Ted McKeever.
Next, Split Lip Comics, the horror web-comic written by Sam Costello and drawn by different artists (most recently, Sami Makkonen, who has a cool Templesmith vibe), wanted to get […]
