My Top 5 Comic Book Titles
(ongoing series only) 1. Gotham Central – I’m a big fan of strong characterization and tight plotting, and this Batman-themed take on the classic police procedural, a la Hill Street Blues and Homicide: Life on the Street, features some of the strongest writing in comics. Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka are terrific, and Michael Lark’s

Between my internet connection at work being screwy all day and Blogspot.com seemingly on the blink, the post I started writing earlier was lost.

Sent my BRIO submission in today, two days before the deadline. Thank you, Express Mail! It’s the first time I’ve submitted for something like this – other than a single poem entered in a Literal Latte contest way back in 1999; I just don’t have the self-discipline – and it was a real challenge to
