As I wrote about earlier, DC has a new experiment called Wednesday Comics. The comic is a broadsheet newspaper and each page is one page of a character’s story, there are 15 characters with their own pages. It’s pretty bad ass, to know more of what I think go back one entry and stretch out.
Now, [...]

I am not a DC comics reader, not by any stretch. I never have been, I grew up under an older brother’s buying regime of Marvel all the way, baby. Now, as an adult who can buy what I like, I still don’t really dig on DC. Or, to be more specific, I don’t dig [...]

I understand that being a writer is not a science, and it is not certain, and it is all sorts of crazy and annoying and weird to make your hair fall out/thin/grey/spread down your face. I understand these things and I go in willingly. All’s fair, and what have you.
But sometimes, man, sometimes I feel [...]

I am an avid LOST fanatic. I have stated many times that it is the greatest show ever created, in my opinion. I even spent some time on the weekend drinking and arguing that point with my friends. LOST has absolutely everything I could ever want from a television show. It is the ultimate.
But I [...]

While in Venice I was wowed and amazed by all of the insanely cool paper shops. You could buy leather bound journals and personalised paper to suit all array of tastes. I could have gone crazy, I love making notes so therefore I love all manner of notepads and paper, it’s lame, I know.
The one [...]

Few things in life excite me, I’m a pretty cool customer. Not exactly the Bond of my nation’s capital, but I’m a man who is not easily flapped, ergo, I like to think of myself as unflappable. I no longer squirt when I hear the ice-cream man’s piper song play down the street (not that [...]

I forget sometimes that I am a writer. It’s not that I want to be a writer, or that someday I will be a writer. No. I AM a writer. I write pretty much every day. My acts of writing makes me a writer. I am not a published writer but that shouldn’t stop me [...]

The girl gets a rock on a ring, but what does the guy ever get in the engagement process. In my case, I got her one hell of a stone, so I was happy that I got something in return.
I thought long and hard about it, what did I need.
I have a good laptop.
I have [...]

I am cleaning out one of my most important book shelves, the one that houses all of my old Daredevil comics. There’s a fair few, so I am slowly savouring the joy of taking them all in and skimming covers, panels, and creative teams. In this experience I have come across a few little treasures. [...]

Managed to get to the secondhand book store that is so conveniently local, warm and friendly. I love that everytime I go in there it seems that there has been some form of product turnaround on the shelves. It means that every now and then I might miss out on something as it goes too [...]
