Great Blog Piece on Morrison
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.
Kamandi is Awesome
by Alex Cox (you can read about more awesome things on Alex’s blog, World of Awesome). 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 [...]
Breaking down the Ultimate Universe
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
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.
A Long-Awaited Return!
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
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 dollar, [...]
Neat Look at Creating a Comic
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 [...]
Happy Blogoversary to Don MacPherson’s Eye on Comics!
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”
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 [...]
David Campbell’s Top Ten Suicide Squad Lines, Part Two
Check out part two here, at Dave’s great blog, Dave’s Long Box.
David Campbell’s Top Ten Suicide Squad Lines
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 [...]
Future of Comics?
Alan David Doane shot me over an interesting piece he recently did over at Comic Book Galaxy about the future of comics. Check it out here, and let me know what you think! Edited to add – Here’s a follow up piece by ADD.
Tim Callahan on Early Grant Morrison
Tim Callahan (whose blog can be found here) just came out with a book about Grant Morrison. Here, then, is a guest piece by Tim. – BC To promote the release of my new book, Grant Morrison: The Early Years, I am doing a bit of guest-blogging here at CSBG. My book, in case you [...]
