At last, it’s time for my final article for the Daily Planet. Instead of reviews, I’m going to recommend 4 series to you (plus Hawkeye, because we all know that’s coming) that are some of […]
NEXTWAVE: Agents of H.A.T.E., The Ultimate Collection Warren Ellis, Stuart Immonen, Wade Von Grawbadger, Dave McCraig Marvel $34.99 It’s rare for me to cover a re-release of material that isn’t too hard to track down, but […]
It was my birthday last Friday. Thanks for noticing. All your gifts and well wishes were received in kind, and you can expect thank you cards in the mail within the week. VanCaf happened this […]
Oh sure, it’s super grey outside at the moment, but spring is finally here! It’s in the 40s, the cat is growling at birds it can’t get at and I get to be mad at […]
A few days ago, Image Publisher Eric Stephens more or less called out the greater comics publisher community for reasons I don’t and do agree with. Said speech went down at retailer’s meeting ComicsPRO, and […]
Upon writing cats on cats I realize that there’s several ways in which that can be taken. Whelp, Imma keep it, because I hope people’s mind won’t go directly to the gutter (HAH!) and more […]
This is the last big release week in 2013, and man, it ended on kind of a downer comics-wise. 4 out of the 5 Marvel books I pulled had more than 1 artist attached to […]
First and foremost, a big thank you to Warren Ellis for coming out to past Friday (as seen here with my friend Sean). It was the first time in FOREVER since he’s had a signing […]

Comic books are all the rage, and tomorrow’s star of the printed page will be the next big thing on the silver screen! Yep, Hollywood money is whipping up every able-bodied creator into a creative tizzy. WHO will create the next Iron Man, Batman and Jonah Hex so that they can be watered down into unrecognizable action figure grade silhouettes of themselves for a feckless public to mass consume? […]
Time to catch up on a couple of reviews, this is a mix of a couple of books that came out this week, and last week. Pick of the week: Fantastic Four # 571 by […]
Man, am I sorry to see this series end. Warren Ellis is still the best at trying new things to get your brain working in comics, and his commentary is some of the best coming […]
