Why Writer’s Blogs Are Cool
The entire reason I started this blog was so that prospective people who would want to work with me, or just read my stuff, would be able to get a solid handle on who I was. This complete character study would of course come through reading my thoughts on comics, movies, music and my life writing in general.
The reason I wanted to do this was because that is what I appreciated from other creators, especially writers. There are some good blogs out there where writers talk about themselves and sometimes their process. I have now found a new blog that seems to do both.
He is the current writer on Iron Fist, which I am still getting, and he is penning an arc on the Punisher Max line which has just started. I have also read his Moon Knight Annual, which I didn’t mind. It was definitely different, but definitely cool, too. I decided to check out his blog and I really liked what I found.
After reading just a few posts you get a feel for who this guy is. He is an unashamed book nerd. He has a wicked collection and he loves to take care of it, add to it and talk about it. He feels like akindred sprit instantly. Then I see the posts where he talks process. I love it!
He’s written a few novels and I would love to get my hands on some, or at least one. eBay proves to be a bust, I just checked.
But I will be checking his blog regularly because I like his voice and I find it fascinating to see what writer’s write about.

Got my pull list this week, have to make time to fit them all in, I wish I didn’t need sleep. Is there a way to catch insomnia?
Avengers: The Initiative #18 and Annual #1 (though I am not sure how much longer to stick with it. I like the title, but am not sure that it will survive the current price worries I am experiencing, it might just be on the periphery…)
The Astounding Wolf-Man #9 (a solid enough series, but also possibly flirting with cancellation from me. I just don’t know if it warrants being one of the ‘chosen few’ that I get each month from the good people at Minotaur.)
Marvel Zombies 3 #2 (a fantastic 28 Days Later homage cover has me piqued for sure.)
Resurrection Annual #1 (Guggenheim’s series has enough going that I’ll stick with it, for now, but it can’t keep shipping late…)
The Invincible Iron Man #7 (a fun Spidey crossover cover, and I hear Fraction’s next arc is going to be even better, definitely one to stick with.)
The Immortal Iron Fist #19 (by the aforemention Swierczynski, who I have so much respect for after reading his blog that I will have to stick him out on this one for a while. This one had a great cover, too. And he had an issue coming in the new year that is set in the future which looks kind of bithcing.)
The Boys #24 (a series that I never have any real buyer’s regret about. Rock solid gold dust!)
Criminal Season 2 #6 (I’m liking this insomniac’s story line, a lot.)
And the last one to get the scan; Daredevil #112 (after the ending of the last issue I can’t wait to dip into this one. But, the anticipation must build, I will read this one last on purpose, to end on that high note to get me to the next month.)
There you have it. I’m a major nerd!
