New Comics for 12/04/08 has a big-ass turkey carcass in their fridge

On Dec 2, 2008 1:10 AM

Sometimes I love weeks like this, I have only three books  Batman (ugh), JSA and Jonah Hex.  I can't decide whether I should check out this X-Infernus event (I recently jumped onto Uncanny X-men)

Five Things in Comics I Miss (Right Now)

On Nov 24, 2008 9:00 AM

Batman the Animated Series was my favorite cartoon as a child.  But I used to enjoy X-Men just as much.  In fact after Batman, my favorite superheroes were the X-Men.  But watching re-runs of the show now is painful.  It just doesn't hold up.  I used to like Gambit as a kid, but all his referring to himself in the third person drives me nuts as an adult.

Action Comics: Now with NO Superman!

On Nov 18, 2008 10:44 AM

I have dropped Superman and Action Comics from my pull-list at my comic shop.  I will read them until they don't interest me anymore then I will drop them.  I will wait and see how this turns out because I have faith in Johns and Robinson.  But I don't like the idea of shaking up the Superman titles just when they have gotten so good.

On Nov 13, 2008 9:00 AM

At the beginning of September I was reading roughly 35 books a month.  I have now gotten my list down to about 17.  If 3.99 comes I may cut my list in half again.  I had to drop Captain Britain this week, not for lack of enjoying it, just because I'm anticipating the price jump. I find trades more appealing not only for the price, but they are easier to store on a book sel...

I still haven't read all my books, but I doubt anything will top this.  @Neb- I agree with you about Nightwing.  It was a good read as well.

So You Want to Write Comics: Influences

On Nov 11, 2008 9:00 AM

Great article Josh.  I especially enjoyed the Monty Python and Pete Townshend parts. I don't aspire to become a writer, but the guy who has influenced my thinking on politics, religion and society most is George Carlin.  It's not exactly a stretch to list him, but I would be lying if I said he didn't have any influence on me.
