A review a day: Miss Don’t Touch Me volume 2
Here’s an unlikely but quite good sequel!
Thoughts on Wizard Closing Down…
If you used to work for Wizard, and they fired you, I can see how you would enjoy some schadenfreude at the magazine announcing that they are closing down. That makes sense to me. Otherwise, why the heck would anyone else be happy about a magazine about comic books closing down and a bunch of [...]
She Has No Head! – Advance Review Of The New York Five #1
The New York Five. Brian Wood (writer). Ryan Kelly (art). Vertigo. 32 pages. Black & White. $2.99. This book has absolutely everything I like. Seriously. It’s got great well fleshed out characters, strong (but complex and not always perfect) female leads. It’s got fantastic art that really places characters in a believable setting (in this [...]
Thoughts on the Fantastic Four Death…
I’ll eventually review the issue in question (I’m thinking of just doing a big ol’ review on Hickman’s whole run), but I just wanted to make a note about the death in today’s Fantastic Four #587 (don’t read any further if you don’t want to be spoiled about who dies in the issue)…
I Saw It Advertised One Day #28
We continue a MONTH of I Saw It Advertised One Day! Each day this January you’ll get a piece looking at advertisements in comic books over the decades that amused me for whatever reason. In each installment, we’ll take a look at three ads! Here is an archive of all installments of this feature. Enjoy!
A Month of Cover Theme Games #24
Every day this month, I’ll give you a new cover theme game! If you don’t know the game by now, it works like this: I’ll show you three covers. They all have something in common, whether it be a character, a trait all three characters share, a locale, a creator, SOMEthing. And it isn’t something [...]
A review a day: Return of the Dapper Men
This is the fourth time this book has been mentioned on this blog in less than a month. Oh, the publicity!

Yes, the sensation has returned! This time, I’m going a bit far afield, as this example didn’t even appear in a comic book! Can you handle it?!?!?
She Has No Head! – Interview With Brian Wood & Ryan Kelly
The New York Five, a four-issue mini-series from Vertigo that picks up where Brian Wood and Ryan Kelly’s The New York Four from DC’s Minx volume left off nearly two and half years ago finally releases this Wednesday, January 26th. As someone that was a big fan of the digest-sized original, and someone that searches [...]
Comic Book Movies Should Be Good: An Amazing List
With the upcoming release of THOR, CAPTAIN AMERICA: FIRST AVENGER, GREEN LANTERN, and a cornucopia of other films hanging in the distance, COMPLEX magazine asked your humble narrator to compile the top 50 greatest comic-book-to-film adaptations. And so I did. That’s the entire anecdote. Here’s the link. I think it’s a pretty solid list, possibly [...]

A review a day: Rift Raiders
A second Kickstart book in a row! CAN YOU HANDLE IT?!?!?!?!?
Sunday Brunch: 1/23/10
WHITHER THE COMICS CODE? So DC and Archie, the last bastions of the Comics Code Authority, have dropped the seal’s use entirely. Which begs the question, hopefully for an actual comics journalist to answer: Who was the Comics Code Authority? Where was this self-governing body headquartered, who was on it, and what will they do [...]
