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.” [...]

Action Comics #890 – While I’m definitely not down for Joe Straczynski’s year-long story about Superman walking across the country to stop feeling sad, I do like Paul Cornell and I think that his Lex Luthor-centric run on Action will be lots of devilish fun.

30 June 2010

Earlier this month, I posted a tease of a comic story that I did with Joe Mulvey.  Today, the entirety of that four page story is unleashed on the world in the newest issue of Alert Nerd’s semiregular magazine, Grok. You can read it here. I have it on good authority that there is a [...]

Scott Pilgrim Jeff Is Shockingly Accurate

29 June 2010

If only I could be paunchier, this would be a perfect representation of me. I applaud the creators of the Scott Pilgrim avatar creator for giving me the ‘blazer, tie and jeans’ option that Xbox Live has denied me for so, so long. In the interest of full disclosure, the taglines are randomly generated and, [...]

News For Nerds

26 May 2010

Matt Wilson’s blunt and excellent post at The Bureau Chiefs (the group blog of the Fake AP Stylebook creators) goes after what passes for comics and video game journalism in its present state and points out in a numbered list just why it sucks so bad.  And yes, I’m pointing that out on a blog [...]
