Okay, so I meant to get this retraction up earlier, but other commitments *cough*BORDERLANDS*cough*RE-READING 18 VOLUMES OF “MONSTER”*cough*GENERAL LAZINESS*cough* conspired against me. Anyway, that bit I wrote two weeks ago about Miracleman being Norman Osborne’s “secret muscle” – completely wrong. As it turns out, the “MM” that Rich Johnston was referring to was “Secret Wars” […]

I read an interesting bit of comics rumermongering earlier this week. While it has been shown that Norman Osborne has some superpowered character at his beck and call to keep the members of his Cabal (Namor, Emma Frost, Dr. Doom, Loki and The Hood) in line, this person’s identity has been one of the best-kept […]

No burning comics news to report today. I did record new podcasts this weekend, so you can look forward to hearing my next crossovercast with the “No Podcast For Old Men” crew next week on a subject near and dear to all of our hearts – “Star Wars.” Two weeks from then I’m going to […]

So while I’ve been talking about everything I bought at Comic-Con in these posts for quite some time now, it means that now I’ve got a backlog of new (well, “new-ish”) stuff to talk about now… As well as some more stuff from San Diego that still hasn’t been reviewed yet. Also, I am planning […]

This is the first of what will likely be a few posts detailing all the stuff I picked up at Comic-Con. As I said before, I’ll probably be doing several podcasts related to the stuff I picked up (the latest volume of “Blade of the Immortal,” the three “Fantastic Four” hardcovers collecting the Waid/Wieringo run, […]

Anime Expo was… well, it was an anime con all right.  I can’t say that I regretted going for Friday and Saturday, but this wasn’t as good as last year’s.  Maybe I’d have better things to say about it if it hadn’t felt like GOD HIMSELF was conspiring against our efforts to enjoy the Masquerade, […]

The usual bit of recent comics news analysis I put here evolved into its own post as I was writing it. You’ll see it up here tomorrow. In the meantime, it’s an all Dark Horse review-fest after the break! Berserk vol. 29 I could hear the whining of the people who only read this series […]

So Fanime was completely awesome. I went to lots of great panels (three of them involving Carl Horn), events (the masquerade was okay this year, and there was the “Restricted Rock Paper Scissors” game I participated in… and lost), and saw clips from movies that I now have to own (including “The Scorpio Incident” and […]

The anime club that I attend (or rather, hang out in front of with all of my other friends who graduated from the college that hosts it) has semi-regular shopping trips to the Frank and Sons collectible show and the Little Tokyo area each quarter.  Generally it’s a great trip to pick up some comics, […]
