Amypoodle has a great piece up at Mindless Ones about Grant Morrison’s work. Amypoodle is really putting together a great string of posts there. All of them are quite interesting.

What is it about KAMANDI?
If there was ever an example of a comic that works in spite of itself, this is it. On first glance, it’s a ridiculous concept, with a half-naked blonde guy of indeterminate age as the […]

Breaking down the Ultimate Universe

by Greg Burgas
Friday, February 15th, 2008 at 3:31 PM EST

A. David Lewis, wildly famous writer of stuff, sent me a link to a post he did a week ago, and I just haven’t gotten around to putting it up here, because I’m lazy. He looks at how long it will take for the Ultimate Universe to “catch up” to the Marvel Universe. It’s actually pretty interesting. […]

Two Takes on the Twelve as the Watchmen

by Brian Cronin
Monday, January 21st, 2008 at 2:08 PM EST

Good ol’ Don MacPherson passed along two takes on how JMS and Chris Weston’s The Twelve compares to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon’s Watchmen.
Both his fairly negative review (here) and Valerie D’Orazio’s fairly positive review (here).
Interesting to read both back to back.

I’ve been meaning to mention this for awhile, but I kept forgetting. In any event, Robby Reed and his fantabulous blog, Dial B For Blog, which appeared to have ended some time ago - is now BACK!
Check it out here.
So many amazing features.
It is a really good comic book blog.

The Problem with Canadian Comic Prices

by Brian Cronin
Thursday, October 4th, 2007 at 12:01 PM EST

I apologize for not linking to this great Don MacPherson piece sooner (the Countdown weeks were fairly hectic - as you can see by the lack of Judging Books By Their Covers, I’m still catching up), as it is a very interesting look at the effect of the rise in value of the Canadian […]

Neat Look at Creating a Comic

by Brian Cronin
Sunday, September 23rd, 2007 at 9:01 AM EST

A. David Lewis, who wrote the nifty The Lone and Level Sands (see here, where I told you folks how good it was, and here where Greg B. also had nice things to say about it), is doing an interesting look at creating a comic with a production blog for his new comic book project […]

Don has been doing Eye on Comics for a full year now!
Meanwhile, Don has an interesting piece up here about whether the All Star line of comics has been a financial success for DC Comics.

Hehe…Michael Turner Nightmares

Steve Flanagan had a funny post up at his blog here where he talks about how scary the concept of “a Michael Turner drawing coming to life” would be.

David Brothers on “Metaphorically Speaking”

by Brian Cronin
Monday, August 6th, 2007 at 11:27 AM EST

I hate a comic book that you only have to read once.
No, wait, that isn’t true. To be honest, I love comics that you have to read more than once so much that it sometimes seems like I hate one-time use comics.
Let me back up. I’m David Brothers, and I blog at 4thletter with my […]

by Brian Cronin
Monday, July 30th, 2007 at 4:36 PM EST

Because Cronin’s such a stand-up guy he allowed me to do a little guest spot here at Comics Should Be Good, where I can spread the gospel of Suicide Squad to the masses.
This week (and I use the term “week” loosely) on my blog Dave’s Long Box I am focusing on Suicide Squad, the […]

Edited to add - Here’s a follow up piece by ADD.
