LINK: The Beat on NY Comic-Con
“The catastrophic success” I like that. I don’t always agree with Heidi’s take on things, but even when I don’t, I respect her industry experience and insight. In this case, I think she nails both the good and bad of this past weekend’s convention, while deftly shutting down those who questioned her potential bias due

INFO: Managing Editor Wanted
Buzzscope is almost ready to officially complete its relaunch as PopCultureShock, and I’m now looking to bring another editor onboard to assist me with copyediting and trafficking of our recurring columns. We’ve seriously ramped up our comics content over the past 5 months, bringing on a wide range of columnists and ongoing features, and I
COMMENT: Speakeasy Shuts Its Doors
UPDATED…AGAIN! Let the fallout begin… Elk’s Run creator/writer, Joshua Hale Fialkov, confirmed what seemed pretty inevitable earlier this afternoon over on his blog: So, just got off the phone with Adam Fortier, President etc. of Speakeasy Comics. Speakeasy is no more. Due to some payment problems and low sales, it seems, they’ve had to lock
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: BOTS Article
The article I mentioned a couple of days ago, on the BOTS sketchbook, is up now: Artists, Robots Team Up to Raise Funds for Autism Research. It’s a bit of personal background, Nic Carcieri talking about how the project came about, and some cool samples from the book itself. Was pulling it together helpful to

We’ve become much more willing to accept anything — again, it’s hard to escape the clichés — Madison Avenue or the Government shoves down our throats. The truth has become unbearable to contemplate. There’s a terrible apathy that’s engendered a
Vs. CARD OF THE WEEK: Lady Vic (DOR-134)
Take two friends who love comics. Add a superhero-themed collectible card game. Sprinkle a dash of competitiveness, and a lump of testosterone. The result? Weekly matches that turn friends into nemeses. This is not your typical “card of the week” column. Every web site dedicated to CCGs has been there and done that. This column
Google Me
A co-worker/friend of mine is tracking himself through googlerankings.com, trying to get his site listed as the number one search on Google, Yahoo! and MSN for his name. Out of curiousity, I manually searched my full name on each of the search engines to see what my years on the internet have reaped. Google Top
Blog, I have forsaken thee…
Remember when I used to post every day, sometimes multiple times a day? Those were heady times, between the war and the elections and the poetry scene, etc. Nowadays, I don’t think I’m even averaging one post a week. Part of the reason is that comics have pretty much taken over the little bit of
