I’m not sure that I really need to say more than this:
But I will go on to say: Hell yes. Pre-order what is sure to become a NYT Bestseller in no time right here.
Oh, and Kent of Ask A Ninja will be here in Las Vegas for a panel during the National Association of Broadcasters […]
NPR has an interesting little story on three notable recent entrants into the comic book industry coming from other media (no big surprise on the subjects chosen):

Crazy, I had no idea Joss Whedon’s father was a writer for The Electric Company.
Now, normally my geekdom is limited to comic books, robots, ninjas and maybe some sci-fi material such as The 4400 or Quantum Leap. I’m not much into video games, mainly for three reasons: 1. I don’t own a TV. 2. I don’t own a gaming system. 3. Reading comic books, playing with robots, training to […]
I just finished watching the first episode of the 1998 Silver Surfer animated series on YouTube. I read about the series but never had the opportunity to see any of the 13 episodes. I’m sure bouts of insomnia or spare moments here and there will find me finishing the rest of the series (assuming it […]
I have a beef with Clifford Meth.
OK, well, more specifically, I have a beef with Clifford Meth’s Yahoo! e-mail account.
You may recall that a few weeks back I shared news about Meth helping the fiscal security of the late Dave Cockrum’s widow, Paty, by facilitating the selling off of Cockrum’s personal comic collection. I wrote […]
So I finally received the copy of the Superman: Camelot Falls hardcover I won by knockout from Bahlactus in the mail yesterday. Instead of doing something more productive like studying for grad classes or working out tonight, I decided to read the collection by Kurt Busiek, Carlos Pacheco and Jesus Merino.
I’ll have to say that […]
Conclusive proof that even before Tony Stark became a tool (or a Skrull), Sub-Mariner couldn’t stand his stupid iron face:
And even back then, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s interests came first. For shame, Stark ol’ boy!
In the name of Bahlactus, trounce this surface-dwelling douchebag, Prince Namor the First!
Comic book artist Dave Cockrum — co-creator of the modern-day X-Men — died on Nov. 26, 2006. While this is obviously not news, I was recently reminded by long-time Cockrum friend and collaborator Clifford Meth that the sale of Cockrum’s personal comic book collection is still going on.
The sale is to raise money for Cockrum’s […]
When I was a comic-collecting kid, my heart belonged to Marvel Comics. Even through the early 1980s, DC’s mainstream comics were still bland, fluffy and dumbed down (until, let’s say, the Crisis era). So though I liked the characters of Superman, Batman, etc., even as a 9- or 10-year-old, I knew instinctively that Marvel’s titles […]
Howard the Duck creator and comic book legend Steve Gerber died yesterday right here in my own backyard. He was at MountainView Hospital in Las Vegas being treated for pulmonary fibrosis. It’s eerie, because he was blogging the whole time (up until about a week ago) and still working on new comic book material in […]
