A Weekend On The (re)Construction Site

It’s a game all superhero fans play, especially at conventions or other gatherings of the faithful: “How would you fix __________ ?”
Saturday in the Box Canyon

I spend way too much time, probably, thinking about superheroes and pop culture and so on. Tracing the arc of how things have gotten to where they are today and this weird cul-de-sac Marvel and DC seem to be trapped in: I mean that state of arrested adolescence between juvenile entertainment and actual adult literature, […]
Thursday Drive-By Linkage

Column’s probably going to be delayed this week, but in the meantime, here’s a few amazing things I found on YouTube. These are clips so rare and weird that I’ve never even seen this stuff bootlegged at a convention.
Put it this way: my alternate title was See? See? I’m NOT MAKING IT UP!

Around here, we call it “Amazon Roulette.”
Bridwell Appreciation Day

Seeing as how we recently had a mention of Superman’s 70th birthday, at least as defined by E. Nelson Bridwell, I thought it might be nice to talk a little bit about the man himself — Bridwell, that is, not Superman.
Hard-Boiled Friday

The funny thing was, it all started for me because of a bad review.
Party Tonight!

…at least, if you’re anywhere in or around the Seattle area. Ellen Forney sent us this invite and even though Julie and I can’t make it, I thought I’d at least pass it along. If you missed Comixtravaganza, here’s your chance to see the adult version. Here you go:
Friday bits and pieces

This was another one of those weeks where there wasn’t any ONE thing to write about. So you get a lot of little things instead. Were this week’s column a Jeopardy category, it would be “Potpourri.”
A Friday chat with Fall of Cthulhu’s Michael Nelson
- by Greg Hatcher
- Friday, February 15th, 2008 at 6:51 AM EST
I should admit right up front, when Chip Mosher at Boom! sent us an advance copy of the Fall of Cthulhu trade collection, I wasn’t really that into it. Mostly I was skeptical about the idea of Lovecraft-based comics working at all. Comics are a primarily visual medium and Lovecraft’s whole career was based on writing about […]

The Comixtravaganza podcast, at least the first half of it with the interviews with the panel, is up now. You can find it here. I’m told the Ellen Forney podcast is forthcoming in another week or so.
Exploitation Friday!

Truthfully, I read hardly any comics this week. What I DID do was watch a lot of movies… that a lot of my favorite comics were stolen from.
Backstage last Saturday at Comixtravaganza

It happened like this.
A few months ago, Hayden Bass and Jennifer Bisson of the Seattle Public Library — you know, the smart teen-program librarians profiled here — were talking about putting together a comics event similar to last year’s zine symposium. Hayden e-mailed me asking if I could recommend local comics talent that might be interested in […]
Saturday’s Super Special Sneak Preview!

It’s that time again — when we take a look at some preview pages from the most important comic book of the year!
Friday hit-and-run

- Friday, January 25th, 2008 at 8:48 AM EST
I’m hoping to have a real column up later today or possibly tomorrow… you have no idea how crippling it is to try and function as a freelancer without a home office. It’s coming up on two months now without a working home computer/net connection and I’m really ready for this aggravation to be over. […]

From Kenneth Johnson (V, Alien Nation, the original Bionic Woman, etc.) — proof positive that you can find an index to almost ANYTHING on the internet.
Check it out. If you aren’t giggling by the time you’ve gotten to double digits on this list, well, there’s no hope for you.
