Sunday Continental Breakfast: 2/13/11
Your regularly-scheduled Brunch has been sent to Aunt Mabel’s farm for a while, whilst other projects take shape. That said, here’s a few neat links anyway…
Sunday Brunch: 2/6/11
Your weekly-ish survey of the news, criticism, and art, sequential or otherwise, found on the comics internet. I hope you’re taking good notes, because there will be a quiz.
Sunday Brunch: 1/30/11
The comics internet, in Dagwood sandwich form. (One bite! I dare you!)
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 [...]
Box of Comics: New Year’s Resolution Comics
For 2011, I’ve told myself to only buy masterpieces, or comics that are as good as I remember comics being when I was a kid. Reviews of such comics– under the cut!
Sunday Brunch: 1/9/11
In which the author gives himself an existential crisis about the state of pop culture, and also links to a picture of a bear eating a space ninja
2010: The Year We Make “Best Of” Lists
What, 2011 already? Isn’t it high time for another renumbering? Lo, as prophesied, comes the day when humanity remembers the things it liked in the past year and then ranks them according to preference. I’m forgoing the usual countdown, however, and skipping to the #1s from various lists! Only the best need apply!
Sunday Brunch: 12/26/10
Below the fold: presents left under the tree, stocking stuffer stuff, aired grievances, and other secular, nondenominational metaphors for stuff I found on the comics internet.
ROM Needs You to Help Bill Mantlo!
JK Parkin at Robot 6 has just brought my attention to this, and now I am bringing your attention to this: As you may well know, comics writer Bill Mantlo suffered a traumatic brain injury almost twenty years ago now, and needs constant care. One of the best things he ever wrote was ROM Spaceknight, [...]
Sunday Brunch: 12/12/10
More like Sunday Continental Breakfast. A light week, with a selection of webcomics, art, and criticism for your reading pleasure.
Sunday Brunch: 12/05/10
Much like a delicious turkey, today’s post is moist, delicious, and has a stranger’s hand up its arse. Much like the vegan option, tofurkey, it tastes like whatever you cook it with and is beloved by hipsters everywhere. Yes, we’re well past Thanksgiving by now, but that’s okay, because this column is always comprised of [...]
Sunday Brunch: 11/14/10
NARCISSISM DEPT: Today at our sister blog Robot 6, I sit in as the guest on What Are You Reading? I assume they asked me because Jon Hamm was too busy appearing everywhere else. Of course, I’m writing to you from the distant past of Friday, so for all I know Mr. Hamm found a [...]
Sunday Brunch: 10/31/10
Much like a giant bucket of candy provided by a masked stranger, the following post is composed of delicious, empty calories, and will make you sick if you eat the whole thing. Onwards! QUESTION(S) OF THE WEEK: 1. What’s your favorite subgenre of horror? I’m a sucker for zombies, myself. 2. Has a comic ever [...]
Sunday Brunch: 10/24/10
In which Bill says hyperbolic things about a children’s cartoon and invites you on a guided tour of the comics internet (ask for Babs!). DECLARATION OF THE WEEK: DC should only ever hire teenagers to write the Legion of Super-Heroes (sorry, Chris Bird). SHAMELESS PROMOTION DEPARTMENT: A little while ago, I was shanghaied to Australia [...]
