I don't have anything against Nano, because a lot of my friends do it. Hell, a couple of published novelists that i know of are doing it, so its clearley something that works for a lot of people. It's not for me, though. It doesnt really work with my writing process and generally i dont need a community event like this to write because i do it most of the year anyway. Who knows, maybe one yea...

"I've heard some dumb questions in my life, but that takes the cake." CLASSIC.

personally i think relationships, marriage and divorce make for great drama. And art. Some of the best songs of all time have come from this rich bed.  So i think it's bad writing that lets comic books down when relationships are involved.

just to say... i agree with the larger point that Sonia makes about american writers attempting british dialogue.  But  both 'on yer bike' and 'store' were commonly used in the sense Rucka uses them where i grew up. Sonia's from a different part of the UK though, and one closer to the setting of Q&C, so fair enough.

Interesting article. I can't say that i agree, but i can't say i really disagree either. Its one to think on.  I cant really say i encounter the type of person you talk about in relation to comics. But in other fields? Yes. I worked in a bookshop for a long time and was often annoyed by people who would try and have informed opinions on things they hadnt read.  But then, i only rea...

do we really need to worry about wether a famous and attarctive person can also like comics and draw? this sin't a nock at anyone else, more a criticism of my own gut reaction.Forsome reason i wanted to assume it's fake and a stunt and that i'm being played by some big conspiracy.  But why? So, she's famous and cute. She's also allowed to like the same things as me and be allowed to dra...

you know, i reacted very angrily to the film.  i thought it was offensive, racist, lacked any writing or structure and didnt even pay attention to what had happened in earlier scenes. but people in the theatre lapped it up and laughed at everything. So what do i know?

for all this talk of finding a comic book version of ITUNES, i'm suprised apple hasnt jumped on this and tried to put comics into itunes.  Take their proven business model to the publishers.  or maybe they have? Hmmmmm. Still, i'm looking forward to Longbox.

....and suddenly my interest in Marvel's monthly slate had dwindled drastically. Without this book each month i'm maybe now down to about two marvel books? I'm sure there's a title i'm forgetting, but thats how it feels right now.
