CBC Quickees: DMZ, G0DLAND, X-Factor and more
Snatching a handful of comics from the top of my most-recently read stack, in no particular order… Teen Titans #32: Why do I torture myself? I picked up the Captain Carrot/Kid Eternity arc and was sorely disappointed, and this alternate angles/extended scenes edition of Infinite Crisis #4 was like a self-inflicted kick in the nuts.

Joe Quesada’s hyping the new Moon Knight series, and while he’s been on point lately – at least with the examples he gives here – I have to admit to cringing a little bit whenever he goes in to spin mode in connection to anything I’m looking forward to. NRAMA: “Scribe” – If you had

Buzzscope No Mo–?
The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry… but Batman always has a back-up plan! My latest Establishing Shots is up, wherein I pull a Quesada, explaining what happened to the big January 2, 2006 surprise. I also announce three of our newest columnists, one of whom hasn’t been announced anywhere else
Farewell 2005
Don’t let the door hit you… No, not really! It’s been a year of extreme ups and downs (and the downs were particularly rough), but the end result has been relatively positive. For the most part. I’m too lazy to shoot from the hip like Salomé did, and I already covered the comics side of
