LINK: Even More on Speakeasy

Chuck Saterlee pulls the curtain back a bit further over on the Bendis Board thread that started it all. I’m quoting it in its entirety as I wouldn’t be surprised if he was asked/made to delete it at some point, as it airs what could charitably be called dirty laundry. My name is Chuck Satterlee

R.I.P. Peter Conti (aka Peter of the Earth)

I hadn’t seen him in a few years, drifting apart when we moved to Virginia and never reconnecting after we returned, and had no idea he was sick, much less dying. He missed his 30th birthday (today, Saturday) by one day. I’ll always remember the carefree Peter who let it all hang out when the

Buzzscope Reviews: 11/23/05

More changes afoot: …we decided this would be the perfect week to sneak in another new feature; or in this case, a revamped one.

Brain Dump: Thanksgiving Edition

Turkey Day was as close to perfect as I could imagine; Salomé and the kids, a few friends, some good food, low-stress. Friday we hung out in Jersey, and Saturday and Sunday we chilled. Priceless! Five things I’m thankful for, in no particular order (except for the first one): 1) Salomé, Isaac and India: Without

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

My “inbox”: The stack on the top left is everything I’ve read recently but not reviewed, either for Buzzscope of CBC Quickees. Approx. 15 comics deep is where intended reviews go to die. 🙁 The stack on the top right, underneath the New York Times‘ Infinite Crisis article, is mostly completed mini-series and story arcs

COMMENT: September’s G*ddamn Sales Figures

Over on the Buzz Blog, I posted some comments on September’s sales figures that saw All Star Batman & Robin, The Boy Wonder #2 top the list with approximately 178,000 copies pre-sold to the direct market. Further down the chart, though, something else caught my eye: ARANA #8 (13,758) and #9 (12,920) both outsold the
