Blue Moon Reviews — Black Cat, Vols. 1-2
Black Cat is a series I missed while it was coming out (the twentieth and final volume was released in May) but recommendations by trusted reviewers compelled me to check it out. I’m glad I did, since reading it reminded me of the best and most addictive qualities of shounen manga.
Month of Art Stars: Artist’s Choice – Agnes Garbowska
Every day this month I’m going to feature the work of a great artist, only instead of me picking the artist to feature, they will be picked by their peers, fellow professional comic book artists who are picking out artists (from the past and present) who they think deserve special attention. Do note that most [...]

I’m going to get some theoretical nerd chocolate in your hypothetical dork peanut butter here. I’m going to try and think outside the box a little, so it’s not just “a Wolverine game where he can stab Hitler!”* 1. Jonah Hex
Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — 20th Century Boys vol 2 and 3
Michelle did a fabulous review of the first volume of Naoki Urasawa’s intricately plotted mystery tale earlier this year. While I enjoyed the first volume, I wasn’t completely sold on the series just yet. Having now read volumes 2 and 3, I am totally convinced protagonist and middle-aged disappointment Kenji Endo will save the whole [...]
Random Thoughts! (June 16, 2009)
Last week’s edition was all kinds of big with around twenty of my musings on things no one else cares about, so I’m betting this week’s will be even bigger. Although probably not. *shrugs* Whatever. It’s random thoughts time! Get excited!

Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: Fun & Affordable Fantasies
Fantasy Masterpieces is one of the most interesting titles put out by Marvel in the 60s. It’s a strange mixture of Golden Age superhero stories and recent monster tales. Once upon a time, these stories were very tough (and expensive to track down). Over the years, Marvel has seen fit to reprint many of them [...]

Well, even if you don’t (because seriously, what are the odds of that, given my track record), I’d still like to ask you to sway this election for me so Gabe and Tycho will do more strips like this. I mean, they said that they might do more anyway, but I’m not taking any chances [...]
