That’s right, more Daredevil chat between Tim Callahan and me on his column at CBR, When Words Collide. This week’s column was a blast to write because I got to write about Steve Gerber, a Daredevil writer too often forgotten, and we also get more in-depth about Foggy Nelson. This column takes us about another [...]

Man, I love the Oscars. I always have. I am a film nerd. I was always the guy who knew the names of the directors and writers of a flick. That stuff just interested me, actors be damned, it’s the bearded nobodies behind the camera that interested me. So, come Oscar time, I was always [...]

I am an old Star Wars junkie. Recovering now, thankfully. I was all about the original trilogy, still am, but the prequilogy didn’t quite excite me. I do like some of the extended fiction in the SWU; the X-Wing Rogue Squadron books are absolute dynamite, as were the short story collections of the Cantina, Jabba’s [...]

And another month rolls by as I continue to love this series. Quality on so many fronts; writing that means something, art that is gorgeous, and characters that grow and emote. Comics doesn’t get much better than this. I love that Scott Snyder retweets a lot of reviews on Twitter, and thanks the reviewers. Though [...]

Eclecticism – This week is much stronger for comics. Yay for that, and let’s go. Eclectic Purchase – American Vampire #11 – No surprises that this one gets mentioned first. Quality, never ending.

Tim Callahan said we should chat about Daredevil. You don’t get a perfect proposal like that often enough. I’ve been a fan of his column on CBR, When Words Collide, since before it started (which was his Why Casanova Matters article from way back when, and I’ve linked to it enough already). I just dig [...]

I recently came into some money; money which I could do with as I pleased. Of course, I went online and ordered some books. Because I am now an acolyte of booko.com.au, I found my purchases from many new and different websites. One such site was Better World Books, through which I ordered the Ex [...]

This is a story I think even the visitors here who don’t like comics can get into. A comic creator, Chris Eiliopoulos, a guy who does a lot of all-ages and kids stuff, is offering up a PDF collection of his online strip, Misery Loves Sherman, for $2. What a bargain, that is a bargain [...]

Man, I try to steer clear of having to write bad reviews. However, if I do write one you’ll possibly notice that I don’t link to it here. I find no pleasure in promoting internet snark…most of the time. Soldier Zero is a comic I didn’t think was that good when it launched and it’s [...]
