Look at me, posting three times in day! I’m like Cronin! This is a pinch-hit post, as I take a look at another Warren Ellis comic that Bill, sadly enough, hasn’t read. Get that guy a nice Christmas present!
What I bought - 29 November 2007

This week: Dare I read the latest from the Miller/Lee team? Dare I sing the praises of sex in comics? Dare I condemn someone for trashing something I don’t even care about? Dare I drop a book by a blogaxy darling? Dare I spoil the ending of a mainstream superhero comic? Dare I read Dan […]
I feel dirty … 2007 edition!

It’s that time of year again, when I venture out and purchase the one issue of Wizard I get per annum. I do this because it’s their year-end review, and I always like to see what Wizard thinks is worth my time. It’s become a long-standing tradition around here for me to do this, and […]

I’ve been meaning to mention this for awhile, but I kept forgetting. In any event, Robby Reed and his fantabulous blog, Dial B For Blog, which appeared to have ended some time ago - is now BACK!

A dumb idea … or the dumbest idea?
- by Greg Burgas
- Thursday, November 29th, 2007 at 12:07 PM EST
If what is implied by the end of the latest chapter of “One More Day” turns out to be true, it will be the dumbest idea in the history of comics. Future readers will judge stupid ideas by comparing them to this, and saying, “At least it’s not as idiotic as ‘One More Day’!” And […]

Two Archie Parodies In One Week!
- by Brian Cronin
- Thursday, November 29th, 2007 at 1:18 AM EST
Awhile back, I reviewed a parody comic storyline Archie Comics did, parodying Civil War. I did not like it all that much. This past week, Archie had TWO parody comics, Veronica #185 (High School Musical) and Tales From Riverdale Digest #25 (Spider-Man 3), both of which were a step up from the Civil War parody, […]

Thanks to Greg Burgas for pitching in yesterday. You’ll probably see him again before the end of the week. I’m a terrible comics fan because I haven’t read the best Ellis has to offer, but I bring you the best to write about it for me! For up-to-the-minute Ellis goodness, check out his just-launched-today message […]

Alex wrote this a couple of months ago, and I kept meaning to ask him to post it here. I finally got around to it the other day, so enjoy! - BC
We deal with a lot of mini-comics here in the shop [Rocketship, whose website you can find here - BC], and while I love […]

Animated New Frontier - So Far, So Good!
- by Brian Cronin
- Wednesday, November 28th, 2007 at 5:27 AM EST
I just saw this article on CBR about the New Frontier animated feature. Read on to see some sample photos (you can read more at the article), but suffice to be said - it looks very nice.
Then again, it IS Darwyn Cooke’s work we’re talking about here, so it should be hard to mess up…
