My second game with the company softball team is tonight @ 6pm, back at the Coleman Oval Playground on Market & Monroe Streets, in the shadow of the Manhattan Bridge. I missed our only practice and last weekend's double-header so I have no idea if I'll be returning to shortstop or what. Prefer the infield to the outfield, but unless we've vastly improved I'd likely see the same amount of action either way. Need to buy a pair of sweats, though, as my only pair fall down when I run!Salomé has guaranteed another year of marriage, winning us a couple…

If you follow this site at all, you know that when I come across an indie comic I love, I pimp the hell out of it! 100 Girls, Fade From Grace, Western Tales of Terror and Elk's Run have all received an extra helping of rave reviews from me for being superlative examples of great comic books. I've even given away free copies of some of them to ensure they get into the hands of potential fans. A while back, in January's Indie Spotlight, I raved about another comic, Joshua W. Cotter's Skyscrapers of the Midwest, a completely random discovery…

aka, The stuff I can't really say in my Buzzscope coverage.First, the absent-minded professor (that'd be me) achieved a new personal high as I locked my keys in the car after arriving in Philly and checking in to my hotel. (A nice little "boutique hotel"-slash-B&B called the Alexander Inn, right in Center City, about 8 blocks from the Convention Center.) If that wasn't bad enough, I didn't realize it until much later Saturday night, confirming it Sunday morning after I'd tossed my room looking for them and heading over to the garage to find them still in the car. Which,…

Bet you can't guess which one was my favorite review?Son of Vulcan #1 (of 6)There's something of a pleasing throwback quality to Son of Vulcan, a worthy substitute for any pull list still tolerating the likes of Robin or Nightwing.Ororo: Before the Storm #1 (of 4)Solid work all around and should appeal to the avid X-fans as well as anyone looking for a strong female lead character or a respite from the House of M hoopla.Atomika #3Atomika is less "sequential art" than it is simply art, with a story attached. It's also a unique, intriguing and compelling concept that serves…
