Like many here, the power of the Internets has sucked me back into the world of comics after a ten year absence.
When I'm not reading comics, I'm a full-time Director of Technology for a small public school district in Massachusetts, a part-time web guy and event DJ for the live monster spectacle known as Kaiju Big Battel (http://www.kaiju.com), and the delighted father of a brand new daughter.

Marvel Goes Digital And Mobile
On Oct 30, 2009 4:15 PMAs a subscriber to Marvel's Digital Comics Unlimited service, I'm disappointed that Marvel is pushing forward with this initiative while still not supporting portable devices for Digital Unlimited subscribers. I guess "unlimited" means unlimited as long as you don't consider being tied to your desktop as a limit. That being said, I think this is a positive step, and I'm eagerl...

On Sep 28, 2009 2:35 PMBig trade week: Battlefields Tankies, Sleeper Season 2, Umbrella Academy Dallas, Magneto Testament. BQ: I helped my old roommate move to Machais Maine not too long ago. The move went fine, but man is Machais far away from... anything.

On Jun 24, 2009 11:37 PMI came for the Rucka, but it was J.H. Williams who blew me away with his work this week. I especially liked what he did with his panel layouts. By using something closer to a traditional grid layout for the out-of-costume and down tempo moments, then shifting to non-traditional, angular, almost shattered layouts for the action sequences, he really raised the level of tension and exciteme...

On Apr 24, 2009 12:00 PMOne of my favorite uses for the iphone is viewing my ifanboy pulllist at the comic store. Bookmarking the printable pulllist view has often saved me from the media-buying amnesia I always suffer at comics stores, record stores, etc. I guess its not iphone-specific, but it still rocks!

On Dec 8, 2008 5:30 PMI am psyched for Final Crisis. I'm thinking of picking up the Phonogram book, but I didn't read the original series. Should I wait to read that first? BQ: I'm pretty sure 3 years as a rugby prop on already shredded knees wasn't the best choice I've ever made.

Go to CommentNew Comics for 10/22/08 wonder where all the time went
On Oct 20, 2008 5:30 PM@ TheApeThatEscaped - I'll be disappointed if Gutsville never finishes. Earlier this month, on Frazer Irving's blog he did say he was "wading back into Gutsville," whatever that means. Final Crisis is my #1 jam this week. BQ: If I don't eat the people, then the bugs probably will, and then I'll be eating them indirectly anyway.

Go to CommentComics on the iPhone? I'm good, thanks.
On Aug 28, 2008 10:25 AMOne comics-related iPhone use I've come to love is the bookmark I have on my home screen to my printer-formated pull list on iFanboy. I pull it up whenever I'm in my LCS on Wednesdays, and I never have to worry about forgetting a book.
