INFO: Comics Bloggers’ Poll 2005

Did you “create or contribute to a comics blog” in 2005? Then you probably have some pretty strong opinions about what you liked and didn’t like in comics last year, yes? Now you can add your two cents to the discussion in a bit more concentrated way via the Comics Bloggers’ Poll 2005. The comics

COMMENT: Late-night Speakeasy Musings

I haven’t had the time to really follow up on the whole Speakeasy situation myself, but I have been tracking the comics blogosphere which refuses to let the story die, including this rather humorous addition: Speakeasy Comics Archives, wherein a Jonathan Martin is attempting to pull together everything relating to the company’s current woes. (CBR

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

I’ve Been Infected

(Actually, a few days ago, but work’s been kicking my ass this week.) This is the blog version of a chain letter Salomé “infected” me with. The point is to state 10 random things about yourself and “infect” ten others. Here we go… 1) Despite the former poetry series, editing Buzzscope, and my apparently good

Buzzscope: Down With the King?

My latest Establishing Shots column is up, a look at what Stephen King’s DARK TOWER project with Marvel means for indie creators. This isn’t Joss Whedon taking on the X-Men or promoting his movie; and it’s not Brad Meltzer taking on some of the most recognizable icons in American pop culture. This is Stephen King

When I first came across PopCultureShock.com last year, it was the combination of the favorable response in their forums to the announcement of Reggie Hudlin taking on Black Panther (in contrast to the immediate sniping over at NEWSarama and throughout the comics blogosphere, with ignorant comments like, “Oh no! He’s going to gangstify the Black
