I meant to mention this last week, but well, obviously I forgot. In last week’s issue of Savage Dragon (which was a clever issue, especially the part about the new Mighty Man), Erik Larsen brought us the return of classic 1970s comic book character Fast Willie Jackson! I reviewed an issue of Fast Willie Jackson [...]

This past weekend was the insanity that is the San Francisco comic book convention; WonderCon. Maybe it is because this is such a tiny little city, but unlike other comic book conventions that I’ve been to, the convention exists smack in the middle of everything.

I think Marvel’s current re-numbering plan, which continues with today’s announcement that Captain America will be re-titled Captain America and Bucky with #620, while Captain America gets a new #1, is a really clever and smart idea. I mean, let’s forget for a moment that having a book co-written by Ed Brubaker and Marc Andreyko [...]

Reader Corrin Warkentin was the most recent person to remind me about this, but I meant to write about it awhile ago. As you all may or may not know, I was a huuuuuuuge fan of Joshua Cotter’s brilliant comic book series, Skyscrapers of the Midwest, about two boys growing up in the 1980s in, [...]
