A Month of Writing Stars – Kathleen Webb
Every day this month I’m going to feature a current comic book writing “star,” someone who I think is a very good writer. I’m mostly going to try to keep from the biggest names as much as possible, because, really, do I need to talk more about the awesomeness of Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and [...]

Around 5pm Pacific time we’ll be going through some (hopefully) quick maintenance. The blog will be offline for however long it takes. It shouldn’t be long, but I figure it is always better to warn folks!

David has a new blog up as a sort of sequel to Dave’s Long Box. It is called The Society for the Advancement of Dave. You can check it out here. He started it at Christmas time. It’s been fun so far! Be sure to give it a read!
