Delays Ahead for newuniversal?
Newsarama’s interview with newuniversal artist Salvador Larroca suggests it might be yet another high-profile series Marvel is unable to ship on time: NRAMA: Could you tell us what was your first impression when you read newuniversal script? SLR: I loved it. It was water clear that Warren Ellis would write a solid script, but I
Creator Directory is Up
Instead of writing any reviews today, I decided to finally get one of the “resource” aspects of the site up and running, focusing on the Creator Directory, which is now available. It’s a somewhat selective list, a mix of well-known and upcoming creators whose work I’ve enjoyed in the past and who have a legitimate
CBC Quickees: Big Two Roundup
I’m so far behind on reviews these days that in order to jumpstart my critical faculties, I’ve grabbed a stack of comics from my most-recently read pile and, focusing on some of the floppies I’m still reading from the Big Two, am giving random ones the super-quickee treatment.

And after reading the complete interview,
Time For Another Break…
Posting’s been light round these parts recently as the real world’s been busier than usual, to the point where I even fell behind on my weekly pickup and am still slogging through the backlog. Too many decent but not great comics, too much non-news coming out of San Diego and Chicago, too many bloggers talking
COMMENT: Sesame Street Has a Lesson for Comics
When the question of diversity comes up in comics, it’s always interesting to watch the likes of Joe Quesada, Dan DiDio, et al stumble over themselves to not put their foots in their mouths as they cautiously dance around the subject. The New York Times has an interesting article today about Sesame Street’s newest female
