OPEN CALL: Writers Wanted

With most of my content going over to Buzzscope these days, Comic Book Commentary is looking like the red-headed stepchild since no one else has stepped up to fill the void. As a result, most of our traffic is now coming from Google searches hitting old content instead of regular readers returning via their bookmarks

Deja vu-hahhahhahaha!!!!

An email I just received via my resume on Monster.com: Dear, I’ve recently obtained your resume from the Monster Board and I was very pleased when I read it. I believe that you possess many of the skills and qualities that are consistent with some of our most successful Financial Services Representatives here at MetLife.

TGIF, Part MDCCCLIX*

Quick & random: 1) My quarterly apology to all those I’ve lost contact with. Again. If it hasn’t been directly connected to family, work or comics, I probably haven’t dealt with it. That means unanswered emails, voicemails, etc. Please don’t take it personally. Hopefully I’ll be seeing some of you in the next couple of

Adventures in Philly

aka, The stuff I can’t really say in my Buzzscope coverage. First, the absent-minded professor (that’d be me) achieved a new personal high as I locked my keys in the car after arriving in Philly and checking in to my hotel. (A nice little “boutique hotel”-slash-B&B called the Alexander Inn, right in Center City, about

Softball, Comics and Vacations

1) Tomorrow night is our first softball game, over at the Coleman Oval Playground, near the Manhattan Bridge. (F train to East Broadway) Starts @ 7:15pm. Come out and cheer me on if you’re in the neighborhood. (And bring some beer!) I’ll be wearing #2, but don’t dare call me Derek Jeter! Since no Met

Because You Demanded It!

Well, a couple of you anyway. 🙂 So yes, like Jay-Z and the common cold, I’m back again (Shut up, Omar!) slipping in quietly, hopefully able to settle in comfortably before anybody notices. What can I say? At one point after signing off here a couple of months ago, I decided I’d start using my

Retro: Forgotten Realms #1-4

As an unashamed, born again player of Dungeons & Dungeons, I was excited by last month’s official announcement that Devil’s Due was on the verge of “acquir[ing] the license to the entire D&D® library.” While I’ve enjoyed some of the D&D-based novels TSR/Wizards of the Coast has published over the years, too many of them

Comment: Making Comics Thin-Skinned

It’s no secret that creative types can be pretty thin-skinned when it comes to their art, especially when they’re in their early developmental stages. Personally, when I first got into the poetry slam scene – competitive poetry readings, for the uninitiated, where original poems are performed and then judged on a scale of 0-10 by

Free Trade Guerrilla: Superman: Secret Identity (TPB)

Intro time: My name is Oscar and where once I was a rabid collector and all-around comic fiend, I have had to calm my obsession down to where I now visit nationwide bookstores and happily use their cafĂ©s to help me catch up on what’s happening in the comic book world through trade paperbacks. Not
