Picking the NBA Playoffs, Comic Book Style
Over at Pop Culture Shock, Jon Haehnle put together a “NBA Playoff Smackdown,” where a group of basketball fans who write about comics on the web make their predictions as to who will win each series throughout the NBA playoffs.

The Reread Reviews — Earth X
The reread reviews return after a long hiatus with the book the most people said they wanted to read about when I asked in a random thoughts post a few weeks back: Earth X. It’s Marvel’s Kingdom Come and it began as a free book included in a year-end issue of Wizard. But, it’s got [...]

A Friday Plea
We’re having kind of a rough day here today. I won’t bore you with details… work stuff, money stuff. It’s been a long week. So, bottom line, the column I was working on isn’t going up here tonight. However, I just discovered I’m not having nearly as rough a week as Gene Colan.
