Friday Musings on Comic-Book Morality
Going to be a short one this week, because yesterday we had some news that made the column I was working on suddenly feel trivial and stupid.

The sea was angry that day, my friends … but I wasn’t, because a bunch of good comics came out!

Him and Gwyneth Paltrow, too! He’s also not too happy with the raise Robert Downey Jr. is getting for the sequel, according to Us Weekly. He’s still going to see it, though, and isn’t mad at Don Cheadle for taking his role, since he helped him get a part in Crash, nor will he spoil [...]

This’ll pretty much be it for the reviews from me this week. Maybe. I think I’ve clogged up the basepaths enough. Before I relenquish the floor to Burgas, I have a few more comics I want to talk about.
Judging (Marvel’s July) Books by Their Covers
And, now, I turn my eye to Marvel’s July covers. There are so damn many of them. Thankfully, I don’t do these posts in one go or, by the end, I’d be insane and writing nothing but gibberish peppered with the odd f-word. Actually, that sounds much easier than trying! Hmm…
The Mystery of Huntress Year One’s Amazon Ranking

I, for one, am incredibly impressed [...]

Well, that’s what I get out of it, at least. It’s a double agent/espionage book featuring Hawaiian shirt afficienado Chuckles infiltrating Cobra. How in the hell does that work?

Reader Graham asked a great question that I don’t know the answer to, offhand (he also asked a Hockey question that I answered over at Sports Legends Revealed). The question is this – When did Batman first disappear from a room (or from the roof top talking to Gordon)? Was it a long time ago, [...]
