It’s funny how, if you wait long enough, time catches up with you. Just about two years ago, I wrote a column called The Brains and Brilliance of Abadazad, about a new fantasy comic from CrossGen that had just blown my mind. Unfortunately, CrossGen imploded on itself soon afterwards. But now it's back, in a new incarnation unlike anything you've ( Read more... )

Now that Erin is home (pouts), I've spent most of today catching up on my reviews for Comixtreme.com. Here are my most recent efforts:

Battler Britton #1: Good
Manifest Eternity #2: Average
Archenemies #4: Good
The Thing #8: Very Good (That this is the last issue of this series is a freaking CRIME)
Thunderbolt Jaxon #5: Very Good

Earlier of this week not one, but TWO of the best comic books on the market had their cancellations announced on the same day -- Marvel's The Thing and Manhunter from DC.

Hey, all -- time again for this week's Everything But Imaginary. It's a shame when a book like Dan Slott's The Thing has to struggle for attention, but that's the case. We should all take the time to check out new books once in a while. This week, we're talking about why...

Lots of things on my mind right now, so you're going to get a rapid-fire mishmash of what I'm thinking about:

So, do you know what's a better feeling than going to your local library and seeing a book you wrote sitting on the shelf? Going back a few weeks later and not seeing it there ( Read more... )

While I was driving around today, something occurred to me. Why is it that drivers are always on the inside of the road. Here in the states, the driver sits on the left-hand side of the car and the car is driven in the right-hand lane. In other countries, the driver sits on the right and drives on the left. In either case, the driver is always ( Read more... )
