We’re nerds, right? Or are we geeks? There’s quite a controversy on the matter. I think “DVDs for Nerds” has a better ring to it, though, so there it is. It doesn’t really matter, however– I am both a geek and a nerd, surely– a poindexter who devours the heads of farm fowl. One with [...]

John Seavey’s Storytelling Engines: Ambush Bug
Here’s the latest Storytelling Engine from John Seavey. Click here to read John’s description of what a Storytelling Engine IS, anyways. Check out more of them at his blog, Fraggmented. Storytelling Engines: Ambush Bug (or “They Thought Him Up!”) The sub-title, for those of you not familiar with Keith Giffen’s nigh-legendary humor creation, refers to [...]
Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Train*Train vol 1
Train*Train by Eiki Eiki is one of the first releases under DMP‘s Doki Doki imprint — my understanding is that this imprint is intended to introduce teenage girls to shonen-ai, but with training wheels. I found Train*Train to be a very inoffensive (and often fairly cute) comedy that teenage girls would probably enjoy.

Box of Comics: March 2009
It’s time again for the world’s most belated comic reviews! Thanks to DCBS for shipping my funnybooks in fine fashion. I’ve been using them for my comic needs for a year now! Wow, time flies.

Lorendiac’s Lists: 10 Types of Comic Book Forum Weirdos
Here is the archive of the lists Lorendiac posts here, and here is his latest, nicely timed for April Fool’s Day!- BC. Author’s Note: This list is not a hoax. However, in keeping with the humorously disrespectful spirit of this special day, it does break away from my usual approach for these lists. Instead of [...]

My Scott and Jean

So Alertnerd is doing an internet meme of sorts involving folks naming their “Scott and Jean,” or namely, something comic-related that is a “sacred cow” to them the way that some folks treat Scott Summers and Jean Grey being together. I’ve been thinking about the idea since I was e-mailed about it a little while [...]
