Committed: NYCC (Warren Ellis, Talking Shop, & Photos)

October 19, 2011 @ 10:00 AM

As I write this, I’m slumped on the couch having just returned from New York Comic Convention. This was my second time at NYCC and I can confirm that it is a very different sort of affair from its West Coast counterparts like San Diego International Comic Con. Like New York itself, the convention is [...]

Committed: Jason Aaron – Macho Men for a Modern World

September 14, 2011 @ 10:00 AM

It takes a certain kind of character to make a violent, bloodthirsty superhero likable. It certainly isn’t an easy task. There are plenty of superheroes with “codes”, rules which prohibit them from killing and so forth, these are more enjoyably relatable, we all want to think that, even when pushed to the edge of endurance, [...]

She Has No Head! – Random Thoughts Mash-up #1

April 18, 2011 @ 09:00 AM

She Has No Head! meets Chad Nevett’s Random Thoughts…OMG. WHAT. WILL. HAPPEN? Let’s find out! Here’s the deal, I’m way behind on my novel revisions for my agent, work is crazy busy, I’ve been sick and I just can’t seem to catch up, also my planned column for this week got pushed back due to [...]

Committed: Unhealthy Fantasies

June 2, 2010 @ 10:00 AM

The most depraved and sick comic books are healthy and possibly even necessary. This is a difficult article to write, and I’m not sure if this is going to go down too well, but it needs saying. These comic books are doing us a public service, helping us to live out our most dangerous fantasies [...]

She Has No Head! – Ruminations On X-23, Minx, Comics For Women vs. Comics For Girls, Twilight, And The Kitchen Sink

March 22, 2010 @ 09:32 AM

I was genuinely psyched to do a review for the Marjorie Liu X-23 one-shot that came out this past week. I had read CBR’s seven-page preview of the issue and was pretty impressed with what I saw. In fairness, I know very little about X-23. I know she’s supposed to be a clone of Wolverine, [...]

Randomer Thoughts: Micro Reviews!

September 17, 2009 @ 02:02 PM

Yeah, this randomer thoughts thing is my shtick. See how long it lasts before I get bored (or Nevett internet sues me for ripping him off (even if I did the random thoughts thing here first)(first!!!!)).

Sunday Brunch: 7/19/09

July 19, 2009 @ 08:50 AM

Seven more days have passed us by, and it’s time for another foray into the series of tubes that is the comics internet! If you’re itching for dumb puns and wordplay with lots of links to cool stuff, look no further!

Brad Surveys The X-Men: Hope He Survives The Experience!

June 19, 2009 @ 12:52 PM

Hey, remember when Dirk Deppey reviewed a bunch of X-Men comics that one time? This is sort of like that, but without the dripping disdain for Chris Claremont, so some of you may want to leave now.

Hey, Look, Someone Is Reviewing Comic Books On A Blog!

May 30, 2009 @ 06:22 PM

What a novelty! You have certainly never seen this before, I bet!

Free Comic Book Day Comics Review!

May 3, 2009 @ 03:56 PM

The definitive word on the quality of comics you can no longer obtain. I believe President Obama would call it “The Horse Is Already Out Of The Barn Comics Review”.

Do We Really Need More Reviews Around Here?

April 22, 2009 @ 08:14 PM

Probably not. I’m going to talk about Ennis’s Punisher: War Zone, Detective Comics #853, Irredeemable #1, some relaunches Marvel has the temerity/balls to slap a $4 price tag on, and whatever else I’ve read lately that I feel like writing about anyway. Well, except for The Chronicles of Solomon Stone #1, whose greatness really should [...]

Some Comments On Wolverine Saga (And Some Actual Wolverine Comics, Too)

March 30, 2009 @ 10:34 PM

You can’t really review a plot synopsis with photoshopped panels from old comics distributed to comic shops for free, in order to inform people about Wolverine’s convoluted history (and possibly scare them off of ever reading another coming again), because there’s a new movie coming out. Especially when you skimmed the damn thing. That said, [...]
