Rock on Christine Valada! She's been tearing it up on Jeopardy! since Monday.
Julie and I are huge nerds and we love Jeopardy! so it's been really fun for us watching Mrs. Len Wein continue to hammer her opposition... especially since a three-day total of around $36,000 will probably go a long way towards restoring their [...]
Where everybody curses your name
- by Bill Reed
- Saturday, June 27th, 2009 at 2:10 PM EST
Wow, we've sure had some fiery debates spring up in the comments threads recently! From how much gay should be allowed in comics, to the cost/benefit analysis of dead celebrities' contributions to mankind versus their more nefarious proclivities, to the apparent mob mentality that springs up whenever certain comic creators' names are mentioned in conversation-- [...]

In anticipation of the release of Was Superman a Spy? and Other Comic Book Legends Revealed at the end of the month, I've set up a brand new site for legends from the world of sports and entertainment (my pal Brandon Hanvey created the logos for me)!
It's called Legends Revealed, and you can visit it [...]

Rich Johnston, everyone's favorite comic book rumor columnist, just recently got let go from his job as a copywriter at a radio advertising agency in London.
He's now looking for work, so if you're in London and work for/have any connection to an ad agency, please keep Rich in mind.
The man certainly has a [...]
Can Twitter Be Good?
- by Brian Cronin
- Thursday, February 26th, 2009 at 9:18 PM EST
The idea of occasionally using Twitter as a sort of mini-comic book blog amuses me, so I am going to try that for awhile (maybe longer if the novelty does not wear off!).
You can follow me on Twitter under the user name "csbg."
Or you can use the following link - Comics Should Be Good on [...]

Achewood's CHRIS ONSTAD at ROCKETSHIP!
- by Alex Cox
- Thursday, November 6th, 2008 at 3:47 PM EST
As part of his North american Tour, Achewood creator Chris Onstad will be signing books at Rocketship, this Friday, November 7th.
Achewood is pretty much the greatest webcomic ever. This is a fact proven by science and religion. TIME Magazine totally agrees! This is the only New York appearance by Mr. Onstad and Mr. Smuckles, so [...]
Well, this sucks

Catwoman has been cancelled. Oh well. Less money that I have to spend! At least the goddamned Titans keep getting revived with shitty writers and shitty artists. So there's some good news.
Sorry, I'm bitter. But that's how we're supposed to be on the Internet, right?
Best of 2007 - YOU Pick the Categories!
- by Brian Cronin
- Tuesday, January 1st, 2008 at 2:35 PM EST
I figured that this year, rather than do the typical "Best Writer," "Best Artist," etc. that we usually do (which usually ends up with the same names repeated for the winners - a certain Mr. Morrison's name is mentioned quite a few times, typically), I thought it would be nice to have this year's "Best [...]
