LINK: YACB’s Second Annual CBLDF Fund Drive

David Carter of Yet Another Comics Blog (and the YACB Fantasy League where my Moon Knights have had a more pathetic season than my NY Jets) is holding his Second Annual CBLDF Fund Drive. In short: "For the period between now and December 24, if 10 people join as [Comic Book Legal Defense Fund] members at the $25 level (or higher) I will donate $250 to CBLDF."It's a great organization, and this year, he's not even requiring that you be a new member, which I was last year when I joined during his inaugural Fund Drive.$25 to a worthy cause?…

Buzzscope Reviews: 11/30/05

We're still playing with the format, but the switch to a combination of full and capsule reviews for the weekly roundup is already paying off with coverage of a few deserving comics that might not have been reviewed otherwise. This week, I go the capsule/quickee route on BLACK PANTHER #10, FEAR AGENT #2, FELL #3, G.I.JOE: SIGMA 6 #1, and X-MEN AND POWER PACK #2, while three different reviewers tee off on the lame NEW AVENGERS #13 which wraps up the over-hyped "Ronin" arc. Check it out.

Moon Knight — A New Ongoing Series Coming April 2006?

I believe this might be my first "scoop"!Moon Knight -- A New Ongoing Series Coming April 2006?Announced with much fanfare at last summer's San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel's revival of cult superhero Moon Knight in a limited series subtitled "The Bottom", by novelist Charlie Huston and fan favorite artist David Finch, has been switched to an ongoing series, with the first issue's release pushed back to April 2006. The publisher tipped their hand in this week's Marvel Pulse Newsletter with the release of a new "First Look" Wallpaper featuring Finch's pinup that first appeared in Wizard magazine back in August.The tagline…

Buzzscope: Read This Way #0

Introducing Buzzscope's latest addition to the Bullpen: Tania Del Rio!READ THIS WAY #0: MY SHOUJO STORYWelcome to my new column! Now, since it’s my first one, I’m expected to give a bit of an introduction to who I am, and I how I became the writer and artist for Archie Comics’ Sabrina the Teenage Witch. But regular autobiographies can be dull and tedious, so instead, I’ll tell my tale in the form of a shoujo manga story:Meet Tania. She is the bespectacled, gawky heroine who has a wealth of dreams and yet doesn’t know how she’ll ever achieve them. She…

Buzzscope: One Year Later

My latest "Establishing Shots" column is up, a mix of reflections and resolutions. Is it my last one for Buzzscope?No, I’m not talking about DC’s universe-changing event coming up next March, but rather our own “One Year Later” story here at Buzzscope...The way I see it, our mission is to focus on the comic books, the people who create them, and the fans who buy them. Putting a spotlight on the good, calling out the bad, and creating a welcoming space to discuss and debate it all. The industry itself needs to figure out how to reach its full potential…
