Smallville: Justice League Preview
I haven’t watched Smallville in a long while, but I’ve caught many of the previews over the past couple of seasons and haven’t liked where they’ve seemingly taken Lana Lang’s character, hooking her up with Lex in a rather icky pairing. Nevertheless, I’ll be catching this particular episode whenever it airs as Clark calls up
SNL Skewers Mel Gibson
Priceless! (NOTE: I still plan to see the movie, though.)
Review: Viper All-Ages
A Bit Haywireby Scott Zirkel & Courtney Huddleston (Viper Comics, 2006; $11.95) I’m a big fan of good all-ages entertainment, and whenever something really good pops up on the comics scene, I’m especially psyched because it means I have something new I can comfortably share with my 6-year old son who’s becoming an avid reader.

Download Comics Legally
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some advertising somewhere for Wowio recently, but had no idea what it was until I saw it mentioned in this Newsarama article about Devil’s Due publisher Josh Blaylock’s latest project, Pullbox Online: NRAMA: What effect do you think this will have, a) on your print titles, and b) on your
Amazon Expands POD Function
Publisher’s Weekly reports: Amazon.com has installed HP Indigo presses at several of its fulfillment centers to expand its print-on-demand capability. The new presses, already in place at several locations, can print up to several hundred copies of a single title up to several hundred copies [sic], said Vyomesh Joshi, executive v-p with HP, who added
Creator Directory is Up
Instead of writing any reviews today, I decided to finally get one of the “resource” aspects of the site up and running, focusing on the Creator Directory, which is now available. It’s a somewhat selective list, a mix of well-known and upcoming creators whose work I’ve enjoyed in the past and who have a legitimate
