What I bought – 1 April 2009
You know, there are people in this world who protest when some of us proclaim Geoff Johns to be bloodthirsty. Those people, I would suggest, might want to skip the first three pages of the new Flash comic. I’m just sayin’. But you won’t find overwrought paeans to a character who is far more interesting [...]
Friday with Scott and Jean and other sacred cows
Yeah, the alertnerd thing about “nerd sacred cows” again. Brian and Brad have already kind of taken a swing at it, but I thought I’d weigh in too.

Seaguy: Slaves of Mickey Eye #1 Review
This is a fascinating comic book in the way that Grant Morrison and Cameron Stewart tell a very conventional (but still compelling) story, but do so under the trappings of some rather off the wall, surrealist goings on.
