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
Fantasticar Revealed
Via USA Today: Translating the flying car from the page to the big screen was no small effort, says Tim Flattery, conceptual artist for the Fantastic Four sequel, which hits screens June 15. He showed several designs to director Tim Story, including one based loosely on the Batmobile, which he designed for 1995’s Batman Forever.
My New Reality
It’s been 2.5 months now since I made the transition from marketing to sales, and so far, despite the exponentially increased workload and almost total lack of free time, I’m still pleased with the decision. It was admittedly a bit nerve-wracking to leave behind 13+ years of experience on one side of the fence to
Help Wanted: Comics Promoters?
Comics Should Be Good offered an essay yesterday by the extremely likeable comics creator Jimmie Robinson that, in his own typically rambling style, makes a good point but lays the “blame” at the wrong doorstop: If you’re reading this, that alone makes you exceptional, makes you care about the medium of comics. You might even

VS System: My new favorite card!
The artwork on this card is amazing! By far the most beautiful card Upper Deck has published for VS. Head on over to Metagame to get all the particulars on Wally’s freakish power. Don’t leave Metagame without visiting their main VS page. It’s jammed packed with preview cards.
Happy 2nd Anniversary
Once again I missed the blog’s anniversary this year, though this time it’s more a result of the long hiatus we’ve been on since the summer. Still caught the right month, though, so it’s all good. Two years of blogging about comics have seen some serious ups and downs here at CBC — in output,
AdWatch: Platinum Studios’ "Babes"
“You may not be able to get into her pants…but you can have her in yours. Platinum Studios Mobile” It’s in Flash format, so I can’t figure out how to save it and display it here, but I came across it on the main page over at The Pulse (of all places) and you can
CBC Quickees: Big Two Roundup
I’m so far behind on reviews these days that in order to jumpstart my critical faculties, I’ve grabbed a stack of comics from my most-recently read pile and, focusing on some of the floppies I’m still reading from the Big Two, am giving random ones the super-quickee treatment.
