It’s been a very big year. It’s been emotional. Let’s see why. Top Book The Wheelman by Duane Swierczynski Man, this book is just a rocket to your head. You know I loves me some Swierczynski but this thing just pops off the page. It’s a fast-paced novel and so very easy to make time [...]

It’s The Joker week over at thoughtballoons and I have published a great little script that seemed the creepiest way I could write him. I was very happy to put that script up but it wasn’t the first one I wrote. I had an idea, a few weeks ago actually (before I knew Joker was [...]

Eclecticism – I am out of town and probably publishing this from my phone. Eclectic Purchase – S.H.I.E.L.D. #5, Secret Warriors #23, Ultimate Comics Thor #3 – And so begins yet another week of Hickman mania. A shame the FF shipped last week. I’m massively pumped for S.H.I.E.L.D. still but the other two feel a [...]

Man, who would have thought Stan Lee’s new titles through BOOM! Studios would be this good. The Traveller had a good intro but I didn’t think it would keep it up. It kind of does and spreads more of a mystery. It’s good so hit the link below to read: The Traveller #2 review by [...]

It’s Xmas Day. I know what you need. How does this relate to Xmas? Good question. It’s a mock up cover that somewhat relates to the scene I wrote for my Santa Claus thoughtballoons one-page script, Be Vigilant. In that script I posit that Santa, or as I call him Jolnir, is somewhat linked to [...]

Joe Hill is a writer I like. He’s a talented man and so to see another comic come out with his name on it is always a nice surprise. He might not have actually scripted this comic but he pretty much did write it because it is adapted from his short story and the adaptation [...]

Kill Shakespeare has been a title I’ve enjoyed pretty consistently. The last issue was one of the best of the year and this issue continues the quality, though not quite as good as last month. This series is something that will ramp up to be quite a great little collection once it’s all done. Hit [...]

Man, I always loved those Savage Sword of Conan magazines from way back in the day. Sprawling black and white art, dense text pieces, fantastic sword and sorcery epics. They were just afternoons asking to be spent immersed in brilliant fiction and fun. I love a good package that makes you really want to set [...]

Eclecticism – This week is such a strong week for comics from me. Let’s get cracking. I don’t even know how to sort these into any order, damn. I usually go in order of preference, but this one is strong. Eclecticism – But it sucks because I’ll pick up my comics on Xmas Eve (if [...]

2010 is just about over and so to conclude what better to do than to sit around and discuss how awesome it was? At least that’s better than sitting around and discussing how lame it was. I do it here with positivity. At The Weekly Crisis we are all taking turns at writing up what [...]
