To be honest, I have always thought we’d make the fundraising quota we set ourselves. It’s only $2,000, and we’ve got lots of friends who will chip in, and great incentives, and a great product to promote/create. I was always optimistic about the end result. What I never thought about was the time of the [...]

The Canberra Comic Meet Up Crew (of which I call myself a card carrying member) is putting together an anthology of short stories. It’s going to be 100 pages, smooth paperback bound book on decent paper, and chock full of Australian talent. You can bet your ass I’ve staked a claim on 10 pages in [...]

I had never read Birds of Prey before in my life. I was actually hoping Duane Swierczynski would be given Catwoman but instead he got this book and while I wasn’t excited I knew I would buy it. That’s just what I do for Swierczynski, all the time, every time. However, I am super excited [...]

Venom has been a title showing promise. I’m yet to be completely converted, this isn’t wholistically as good as Uncanny X-Force but this issue was one major step in the right direction. This issue puts its feet down and declares its own space in the Marvel U. This issue is bold. Hit the link to [...]

The Boys is a series that can be brilliant and can sometimes be very average. I just wish these leaps and dips weren’t issue to issue. This mini has been the best mini so far, and the previous issues were great, but this one is just okay. Good, passable. It doesn’t ruin the mini. That’s [...]

I got a book deal. I’m going to be the editor, and lead contributor, on a non-fic book of critical essays about Daredevil. It is, quite honestly, a dream project for me to work on. Daredevil is my favourite character of all time and while I’d love a run on the actual title putting together [...]

Point One #1 is a Marvel comic that teases the coming year of stories. It reminds me of a free VHS my old store used to have available that was nothing but trailers. It’s mildly interesting, kind of Hipster like in the irony of actually watching it, and in the end it is not good. [...]

You’ve been reading this series, right? I know it’s not Marvel/DC, it isn’t even Image. Or Dark Horse. I know, it’s not IDW. You still get 12 Gauge books in your shop, right? And you pick them up, right? Especially when they’re this gorgeous, right? I’m pretty sure you’ve been getting this 4 issue mini [...]
