Week of NBM Reviews – Arlene’s Heart
A week of NBM reviews continues with today’s look at Victoria Francés’ graphic novel, Arlene’s Heart. I say graphic novel, but really, it’s more like an art book, although I suppose there’s enough graphic content (of the other meaning of the term) that, in a way, it is a graphic novel! The story tells the [...]

Okay, I’m a little late on this. To be fair, I can’t be expected to watch Jimmy Kimmel no matter who’s on there, can I?

Random Thoughts! (June 30, 2009)
Apologies for no post last week. A combination of being out of town last weekend and then my internet being down until Wednesday night meant no post. I’m sure some were quite pleased. Sorry to disappoint, but once again… It’s random thought time! Get excited!

Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: Classic Canadian Creators
Tomorrow is Canada Day, and I thought it would be a good time to shine a light on some comic book creators that were either born or raised in Canada.
Week of NBM Reviews – First Time
Every weekday this week, I’ll review a book from NBM Publishing (I actually have six review copies, but Greg Burgas already reviewed one, Miss Don’t Touch Me, so I figure I’ll stick with the other five). We begin with First Time, a book written by a French writer Sibylline and drawn by a variety of [...]

I was going to try and do in depth reviews of every issue of Simoson’s legendary run on Marvel’s Thunder God. Then I realized that really, who was I kidding? I do have some thoughts related to the first year’s worth of the run, though (337-350, to be exact. It’s a baker’s year!). That as [...]

In which Bill pitches his new X-Book Bill: Or maybe I’d launch a new series called Brand X that stars only the really freaky mutants. Like a rebeaked Beak! And some poor schmuck who’s made entirely of arms and eyes. Ian A: ha ha ha Bill: Frank Quitely will draw the covers, and only the [...]
