COMMENT: Newsarama Interview with JQ, Part II
Last week I posted the following portion of an interview Newsarama did with Joe Quesada. “NRAMA: “When do the events in Spider-Man: The Other, Secret War, and House of M happen in relation to one another?” JQ: Actually, we have this listed somewhere but it’s now 3:45AM and I can’t think straight. Not copping out
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.

COMMENT: You Like Drama, Yes?
That’s the only way I can think of to explain why, of the two links to this blog from The Beat earlier this week, way more people clicked over to the ongoing Speakeasy drama than did my bit on the general lack of interest in comics journalism. Like five times more. As I wrote to

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
COMMENT: Who Cares About Journalism?
The response to yesterday’s article reminds me a bit of how minorities often tend to be more accepting of a lesser quality product made by one of their own, simply happy to have something they can relate to.
