19 October 2010

I talk about the Solomon Kane movie over at Bloody Good Horror. And of course, I review comics with some of my friends at Floppytown.  Today, for instance, I say, “Darkseid’s revenge for Batman shooting him with a god-killing time bullet is to turn Batman into a time bullet that will destroy the universe and [...]

On Comic Con

13 October 2010

1. I go to New York Comic Con every year – have gone as long as there has been one – and I think it’s great to be in one place with a lot of people who are passionate about the things that you’re passionate about in an environment where you can celebrate that stuff, [...]

On Comics and Price Drops

11 October 2010

DC ‘won’ Comic Con this past week by announcing that it was dropping its book prices to 2.99 per issue linewide. Attendant with that, the publisher also announced that each issue was losing two story pages and gaining two additional pages of advertising. The economy of the single issue comic book – and this is [...]

New York Comic Con

8 October 2010

This morning, I’m headed to New York for the 5th annual New York Comic Con.  I probably won’t be online during the days much, so the best place to keep up with me is going to be The Twitter. I’ll also do a Flickr-dump of each day’s photos at night. I’m planning to take the [...]

A few times a week, I’m reviewing comics at Floppytown, a single issue-focused group review site staffed by some friends – Carrie, Dan, Jason, Jen and Matt to be specific.

18 August 2010

Amazing Spider-Man #640 – I was prematurely set to hate this story with a burning fanboy rage, but last issue threw me for a loop. Atlas #4 – Sad that this series is ending after #5. But the remaining two issues should be a hell of a ride, and I’m kind of looking forward to [...]

Comics I’m Buying This Week

4 August 2010

Because the other posts I have in my brain are about Jersey Shore or Count Dooku. Amazing Spider-Man #639 – Continuing the retelling of Spider-Man’s wedding in the most cludgy and awful way possible. Yes, it’s nice that you gave Mary Jane a cell phone, but name-dropping Princess Di with the insinuation that she is [...]

Five Thoughts On Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

29 July 2010

1. For a movie that is about a guy fighting and killing hipsters, there were certainly a lot of hipsters packed into the theater. 2. Kieran Culkin as Wallace completely steals the movie. 3. It is remarkably faithful to the source material. Even in the third act, when significant changes are made for understandable reasons,  [...]

The 2008 Baltimore Comic-Con Kingdom Comics Panel

22 July 2010

This is an article I wrote for Newsarama. They never ran the article, I assume because of how completely vapid this particular panel was.  Or because I omitted the ten minute rant that Ahmet Zappa went on about Thumbelina, the smallest horse in the world. “Kingdom Comics is about sucking the cute out of everything.” [...]
