NY Comic-Con Journal: Day 0
So it all begins tomorrow… 🙂 Actually, it technically began about 3 hours ago as the ICv2 Graphic Novel Conference for Professionals is today, a series of panels on the past, present and future of graphic novels. Something I would have loved to attend, but alas, taking off tomorrow from work is about as much
LINK: The X-Men (Vs.) Sneak Preview
The boys over at Metagame have an article up with pictures of the swag available at this weekend’s preview tournament. Everyone gets a side-by-side stacker of Colossus and Wolverine doing the fastball special. Playmats, deck tins, and T-Shirts are random door prizes. The extended art Snikt! card is for top players in the tournaments. I’ve
No news is good news
…for the time being, at least. I’d say it’s a 50/50 shot right now, which is actually a little better than what I thought a week or so ago. Keep those fingers crossed! In other news, I need a vacation. And another 3 hours added to each day! Ugh. PS: Cleared out 12,000+ emails from
COMMENT: Growing Pains
Just a quick update, in lieu of any significant posting this week. 1) Buzzscope is apparently experiencing some growing pains, as our server has been crapping out randomly over the past couple of days. They’re working on getting it fixed, but your ability to access the site in the (very) short-term will be sporadic. Do

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 SalomĂ© “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
COMMENT: Cosmic Spider-Man is Broken!
This past March, my sporadic co-blogger Dan did a write-up on the [new at the time] Marvel Knights expansion set to Upper Deck’s Vs. System, the trading card game that lets you pit superheroes and supervillians against each other, Magic-style. I’d never played, but owned a few of the random cards that had been distributed
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
CBC Quickees: Home Sick Edition
Can’t title these by the previous Wednesday anymore since my posting schedule and To Read pile are wildly out of sync. Been home sick most of this week, though, and have been able to cut the pile almost in half. Rocketo #1 and XIII #1 are still buried at the bottom, and I’m thinking I’ve
On the Shelves: 9/8/05
