On Oct 1, 2008 9:00 AMgod comments, guys-I really like the idea of a file cabinet! That would make me look very professional, as if I were keeping "records" of my "life". Funnily enough, I looked at the page and the banner ad to the right was for closet organization systems. Thanks for the Heroes4heroes idea! that sounds perfect! -mike
Go to CommentRIP MINX - DC Comics Shuts Down Line
On Sep 29, 2008 9:02 AMThis is lame news. I quite liked the concept--I am curious as to where else these books were being sold? Seems to me that if you want to reach this audience you have to go outside of the comic book store (obviously) and the regular bookstores...how about teen places like cafes, stores and, I dunno...jeez, where DO girls hang out? I never figured that out, which, in addition to my going ...

On Sep 24, 2008 11:25 AMgreat comments and suggestions, guys. Thanks for the feedback, too--I was curious to see where you all would take the discussion. @lobo, you make a great point--books DO get under your skin, precisely because (I think), as a reader, you are doing much more personal work imagining the locations and how the characters look (with some assistance, of course, by the author), so when you...

On Sep 17, 2008 9:00 AMgreat responses, guys, k5blazer, that's great someone else remembers those stores! isn't it weird, though, when you just straight up can't remember something? scares me... finally back online..I got through a ton of unread books while on the road and now I just wonder...why do I buy so many books I only read once? another article, I guess. have a great...

On Aug 27, 2008 12:00 PMHey guys! Thanks for the great feedback. I must admit that I am somewhat resistant to doing "review" posts since so many others do such a great job with them, but, to be honest, I am insanely swamped this week because I am filming a bunch of stuff this week and I just haven't had time to do a more fully realized piece about the comics community, like the Turner piece (which ...

Go to CommentThe Top Ten Most Shaggable Men in Comics
On Aug 8, 2008 9:00 AMGreat article, Sonia. As a guy who battles hair from to time, I am happy The Beast made it on the list. I found it interesting that Black Bolt made it on the list--I thought girls liked to talk--but then I realized that this was a "shaggable" list, not a full-bore relationship list. Well done... Now, of course, i am tempted to do one about the most shaggable WOMEN... ...

On Aug 6, 2008 9:10 PMI picked this up at my LCS (never used that before) today and before I left, I talked about it with the store's owner and he was complaining how he just had no idea what the hell was going on. I was intrigued, because I knew it was Conor's pic---what was so crazy about the book that two knowledgable DC folks could talk about it so differently? I must admit I had no idea w...
