This Kieron Gillen interview at Comics Alliance just makes me sad:

"We've done this wonderful thing we're crazy-proud about. But if the whole economic system was just a couple of degrees to the left, everything would have been different. I mean, just to give you an idea about narrow the margins are between what we are [...]

After a nice, small week, it looks like we’re back to another decent sized week for me.

Grendel Behold The Devil HC– This was the 20th anniversary celebration of Matt Wagner’s Grendel series and the collected edition is finally out.  I remember liking how this story firmly tied Hunter Rose’s story into everything else that Wagner [...]

I picked up the American edition of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book a couple of weeks ago, at a Q&A session in Naperville, Il.  Honestly, I haven't been able to get through too many of Gaiman's novels.  American Gods is a fantastic book but I've struggled a bit with his other novels.  But after hearing [...]

Driving in to work this morning, I was listening to Wood and Vince on the 11 O'Clock Comics podcast talk about Beanworld.  This made me both happy and sad.  I was happy to hear them talk about Larry Marder's fantastic comic but sad that I've had Dark Horse's three hardcovers sitting on a shelf and [...]

A giant, armor wearing, warrior, white rat. Who saw that one coming?

You know it’s bad in Joe the Barbarian #2 when Captain Jean Luc Picard is giving up the battle; when he’s passing off his phaser to some boy and then hobbling off to whatever final fate awaits him. We’re talking about the [...]
