Adopt A Comic: Elk’s Run #1 UPDATE
Comics…you can’t give the damn things away! Seriously, though, entries for one of the two FREE copies of Elk’s Run #1 (sold out, BTW, for all you collector-types) have been less than overwhelming. And it’s not for lack of traffic because the original announcement itself has been viewed more than 100 times, not to mention
PSA: Comic Books, Porn Stars & Kids?
What do comic books and porn stars have in common? I mean, besides an overlapping fanbase of sexually frustrated momma’s boys? At the Big Apple Con last weekend, I had to do an about-face or two while strolling the aisles with my 4-year old son so as to avoid a scantily-clad “model” selling soft-core pictures
The Important Things
This guy I work with says, “I’ve really mellowed out the past month or so.” We’re preparing for a massive move over the weekend, almost everyone on my floor is shifting places, and he’s calming himself down as he tells me and a co-worker about the storage facility where we can send the overflow of
Meet the Cast
Hard to believe we’ll be married SEVEN years in July!!! I must’ve put up with some serious shit in a past life. And Salomé must’ve been pretty bad in hers. Mr. Incredible and Dash. I never said we weren’t enablers! I’m SO dreading the teenage years…

Because You Demanded It!
Well, a couple of you anyway. 🙂 So yes, like Jay-Z and the common cold, I’m back again (Shut up, Omar!) slipping in quietly, hopefully able to settle in comfortably before anybody notices. What can I say? At one point after signing off here a couple of months ago, I decided I’d start using my
Retro: Forgotten Realms #1-4
As an unashamed, born again player of Dungeons & Dungeons, I was excited by last month’s official announcement that Devil’s Due was on the verge of “acquir[ing] the license to the entire D&D® library.” While I’ve enjoyed some of the D&D-based novels TSR/Wizards of the Coast has published over the years, too many of them
ménage à trois: 3/30/05
[One Marvel, one DC, both published the previous Wednesday, plus a random indie from whenever I feel like it, each reviewed quickie-style: 1 Minute=bad, 10 Minutes=good. Connections, if any at all, may be forced purely for the experience.] On a comic book Wednesday dominated by DC’s creatively bankrupt death and resurrection tales in Countdown to
Review: Frank Miller’s Sin City (Movie)
Sin-sational!?! In a word….hardly. In two words, not really; but in any case it’s a movie that should be seen. In fact you can use just about any cliché in the book to describe Frank Miller’s Sin City and be dead-on. It’s a jaw-dropping, eye-popping, action-packed, must-see crime drama that’s very well-acted. It’s also a
Indie Spotlight: March 2005
[From the ridiculous to the random to the superb, a quick roundup of notable indie comics (aka, not Marvel or DC proper, though Vertigo, Icon, Image, et al, do qualify) I picked up in the past month. Release dates may vary.] Lullaby #1 (Written by Mike S. Miller and Ben Avery, Created/Art by Hector Sevilla,
