LINK: Reality Check + NYCC Update

My latest Establishing Shots just went up, and I go off on a bit of a personal, real world tangent before ripping into idiot trolls: At this point, there’s some ill-mannered idiot out there reading along wondering why I’m not writing about Spider-Man’s new costume (I give it six months), or offering yet another opinion

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

Comics Took A Back Seat This Week

It was a rough weekend here at stately Gonzalez Manor, between a nasty virus laying the kids low and our respective exhaustion meters hitting their red lines, coupled with my 9-to-5 making it impossible to stay on top of my four-color fixation most of the week.

COMMENT: Buzzscope Update

Check it out: WeeklyRonée Garcia Bourgeois’ “What A Girl Wants” (every Monday)Jim Salicrup’s “Addicted to Comics” (every

Good Vibrations

If you catch this in time, at 10am EST, send some good vibes in my direction. Got a meeting that could result in a big personal change. 🙂

COMMENT: Comics & "the Mainstream"

Comics has a lot of its cultural power not just as a secondary art form, but as a semi-disgraced secondary art form. I think because of their personal neuroses, which in many cases expresses itself

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

COMMENT: On 2006, and Some Greatest Hits

Personally, 2005 has been a pretty damn good year, from a comics perspective. CBC’s barely a year old, quickly evolving from being a total lark to something central to reformatting my writing chops post-poetry slam era. (Not surprisingly, the activist angle of my work has transitioned intact.) Plus, I went from contributing reviews and the
