Another Weekend With the Review Pile

Saturday’s Trivia Contest Sidekick Edition ANSWERS!
Well, it’s been a week. How did everyone do?
Saturday’s Trivia Contest – Sidekick Edition
It’s been a while since I did one of these, and it seems like everyone always enjoys them. Certainly, I do. So it’s time for another Hardcore, Take-No-Prisoners Trivia Contest!
This time, it’s all about SIDEKICKS. You know, the loyal companions, the boy wonders, and the endangered girlfriends that abound in adventure and superhero comics. We might even throw in a couple of pulp fiction and television hero-type folks too. Continue Reading »

This year’s hide-out-from-the-holidays road trip was, for me, the fulfillment of an idle wish I’d been carrying around in the back of my head for years. Continue Reading »
Yet Another Useless Friday Daydream
As you read this, my wife and I are already off on our annual hide-out holiday from the holidays, or as we like to call it, Fugitive Thanksgiving.
So for this week’s column, here’s something from the archives– one of the few times where I actually wrote a superhero comic myself. Sort of. Continue Reading »
Friday with Kim Newman and the Lord of the Undead
This isn’t strictly comics, but it’s sort of comics-adjacent, and anyway it’s too cool not to run. Continue Reading »
