		<description><![CDATA[Dick Hyacinth&#8217;s post about &#8220;the war on fun&#8221; got me thinking.Â Â I know, how surprising. Dick linked to a few back-and-forth posts on a blog and LiveJournal that I&#8217;m not going to get into, and then launches into a discussion of &#8220;fun&#8221; comics and the dialectical position taken by many comics fans.Â  He&#8217;s inspired, he writes, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just finished reading all 42 issues of the late, lamented Dazzler series from 1981-1986, and although there is quite a bit that isn&#8217;t good about the series, I wonder if it&#8217;s one of those titles that was too far ahead of its time to succeed.Â  Allow me to explain under the fold! Dazzler is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our pal Omar wrote this up at the Comics Should Be Good forum here, but I thought it was notable enough for it to appear here, too! Nice work, Omar! Every so often, someone will ask, &#8220;Where is today&#8217;s version of a comic in which Superman or Captain America deck Bin Laden?&#8221; They point, with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s why I feel a little bit sketchy linking you to this post by a fellow named Professor Fury, but really, it&#8217;s not like it is mean or anything, and it&#8217;s a well-written examination of the end of Gruenwald&#8217;s Captain America run, and I think it is worth reading, even if it, at times, is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Awhile back, I mentioned my theory regarding what I felt was comic writers going out of their way to make sure they were surprising their readers, and the result ended up being detrimental to the story. &#8220;Don&#8217;t compete with your readers to see if you can surprise them,&#8221; was my main point, as doing so [...]]]></description>
