Yeah, Sounds About Right
I Am A: Chaotic Good Half-Elf Ranger Thief Alignment: Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups. Race: Half-Elves are a cross between a human

REVIEW: V for Vendetta
V for Vendetta, on the other hand—while similarly dated and liberally incorporating elements familiar to any fan of the vengeance seeking, flush with resources anti-hero—holds up remarkably well all these years later. It’s a flawed story, mind you, as Moore slips back and forth between compelling melodramatic fiction and hamfisted polemic (similar in some ways to Fahrenheit 911), but the overall result is that of an incredibly engaging tale—part revenge thriller, part political potboiler, part police procedural—that takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride before ending on a somber, if obliquely hopeful, note.
PANEL: Daughters of the Dragon #3
Daughters of the Dragon #3 (of 6)Art by Khari Evans, Jimmy Palmiotti and Christina StrainWritten by Justin Gray and Jimmy PalmiottiMarch 2006, Marvel Comics Zilla and the Comics Junkies has been one of my favorite blogs since I first came across it, as much for its great content as for its excellent visual design. If
LINK: Free Atomika Comics!
Still on break, but that doesn’t mean I’m letting my Bloglines account get backed up! Andrew Dabb, versatile writer of such disparate comics as G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 and Vaistron, is giving away three complete[-to-date] sets of Atomika over on his web site. If you’ve been intrigued by this oddball maxi-series but reluctant (or unable)
Taking a Little Break
Why do bloggers always feel the need to make a post about taking some time off from blogging? I don’t know, but that’s exactly what I’m doing now. I need to get some PopCultureShock affairs in order, not to mention some real world concerns that need to be addressed, and as much as it pains
Days Like These
So, Monday was a double dose of fun as Isaac’s school called Salomé to let her know he was complaining about an earache which turned out to be the very early stage of an ear infection. Poor kid’s had so many, he knew it right away; even the doctor said she might not have noticed
On The Shelves: 3/22/06
Support GOOD Comics! Try something new EVERY month…or not. Who cares? Between Blogger and Gmail’s sporadic outages the past week or so, and some behind-the-scenes dustups that are really testing my patience for this labor of love shit, I’m feeling rather jaded and cynical these days. That’s a bad combination, but there’s light at the
COMMENT: Pull List Massacre, Part I
Just lopped a bunch of titles from my Midtown Comics pull list, and what’s left appears below. The titles in bold are pretty safe from the axe, for now, while the italicized titles are on the chopping block, either outright or via wait-for-the-trade. I feel like there’s a few titles missing, too, probably stuff I
COMMENT: Buying Habits…and How to Change Them
First, read Ed Cunard’s post criticizing the Independents’ Day campaign (read the comments, too), then read my intro to yesterday’s On the Shelves. Both got me thinking about the comics I currently buy and enjoy, how they compare to what I was buying and enjoying this time last year, and offered a bit of insight
