After last year’s tournament, I decided it was so fun that we should do it again! Welcome to the 2010 DC/Marvel Comic Character Tournament! As the NCAA basketball tournament goes along, so will a series of polls matching various comic book characters against each other. You’ll have 24 hours (from when the polls go up) [...]

A review a day: Crogan’s March
Why isn’t there an ongoing about a person in the French Foreign Legion? That would rock. Dang, I hope no one steals that from me before I can pitch it to Vertigo!

I’ve come to the conclusion that people are attending cons wrong. At least I think that must be the problem, since they find them so very draining. People I know prepare for comic conventions as if they are prepping for the Iditarod, rather than a relaxing weekend with like-minded people.

A review a day: Graylight

This book came out two months ago, but I waited until I had some other stuff to review so I could do a few days of “reviews a day.” I don’t mind waiting a while with standalone long-form novels, though, because it’s not like the Next Big Event will be spoiled if you don’t read [...]

Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: A Showcase of Bargains
Showcase is one of the great titles of the Silver Age. Alas, many of the best known books from that series (Showcase #4, Showcase #34 and Showcase #60 are all examples) are very pricey. This week I’m taking a look at some later issues that are less well known, but are noteworthy all the same [...]

He provides some background on the series and [...]

Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Biomega volume 1
Tsutomu Nihei’s Biomega is a bleak, nihilistic vision of the future that is also surprisingly entertaining.
