Comic industry News
Movie day
It is a big day comic book fans and popcorn movie lovers. Kick Ass is officially showing at a theater near you. Reviewers’ hype for this film, along with blogs, is positive it would seem. Of course I take all reviews with a grain of salt until I see something myself and am able to... »
Lapsed
Nothing will distract me more than dropping $1,400 on roof repairs and praying to Metron that my home owners insurance will cover the actual expense. The adjuster came out yesterday and agreed the damages were caused by wind, which is covered under my policy. Now that I know I won’t be eating the paper... »
Wizard World Chicago
The first comic book conventions I went to was the one Wizard hosted in Chicago in 1998. I was there as a guest to my friend who was interning for Wizard that summer. We stayed at the Hilton near the airport. He got me a free two day pass and then I was pretty... »
Longbox
Rantz Hoseley has an extensive interview at Newsarama on his Longbox Digital Comics project. He discusses his hopes for, and purpose of, Longbox. It’s a fascinating read for no other purpose than to hear about the process of trying to create the right alchemy for digital comic books and an app that truly delivers.... »
Comics in the digital age
The past ten years in the evolution for the comic book industry is a relative blank spot for me. At the time I laid off of collecting and buying in any real significant way, I remember reading Wizard, the Comic Book Resource Guide, and talking at the counter with my buddies and comic shop... »
Green Lantern First flight
Since I’m currently all about all things Green Lantern while trying to catch up with the Geoff Johns run on GL as I read Blackest Night at the same time I could not help but mention the First Flight review that CBR has put up from the screening viewed at the Comic-Con. Looks interesting.... »
San Diego Serenade
Producers, film studios, publishers, comic houses, toy makers, sculptors, and independents are all singing their song to fans and audiences this weekend in San Diego. For all the cacophony and crowds at the con I wish I were there. Here is how I am coping: Twitter Follow the right people on the social networking tool and... »
DCUO news
I just finished reading this CBR interview with Marv Wolfman who took the time to promote the upcoming DC Universe Online . The game had a playable demo last year at a SDCC video game booth that had long lines to try out. Even then it was nicely rendered and looked like a heck... »
Con advice
An attendee pro gives her rundown on how to properly enjoy SDCC. More input given in comments. (Will probably be in a bad mood rest of week, because seriously, I know where I would rather be than work.) Technorati Tags: SDCC »
Pop Candy featured reader
I’ve heard, but not read too much of today’s featured readers work, but I like that Hope Larson can stand by her conviction of wanting to sock Ferris Bueller in the mouth. »
Pop Candy goodness
This USA Today blog is so integrated into my must read material it just did not register to mention it here. Then I got on the site today and saw what blog author Whitney Matheson is doing in honor of SDCC craziness. She’s integrated comic authors and artists into her “Reader of the Day”... »
Run down
The A.V. Club has their run down of the 21 artists they believe changed mainstream comics. Of course Jack Kirby is on there, along with others who I wouldn’t question their influence. Who is missing though. And why call it “reinventing the pencil” when you include Alex Ross. Isn’t he more of a portrait... »

It came from outerspace
The Anchorage Daily News is reporting this story about an unclassified blob floating out in the Chukchi Sea. Wonder if it will produce sequels. Technorati Tags: News, Anchorage, blob, sci-fi, news of the weird »
so simple
One of the best blogs out there was born out of the simplest ideas. An employee at Boston.com started culling through photos he saw via his job and created these big splash pages of photos centered around a single theme called The Big Picture. The affect is powerful and more than one pictorial has... »
