Quote of the day
It’s Monday, the worst day of the week if you are an hourly or salaried employee chained to a calendar and time clock. Hence, this Preacher quote that reflects some of my surliness. “I’m American, fatboy. What’s your excuse?” Not even sure where its from exactly, but it just feels so right in so many ways.... »
Comic book quote of the day
I’ve been in a film noir type mood lately. Watched one of my favorites, Double Indemnity. If you haven’t seen it, please do. You’ll never look at Fred MacMurray of My Three Sons fame the same way again. And Barbara Stanwyck’s intro on the balcony and staircase? Pretty steamy stuff for 1944. Of course none... »
Comic book quote of the day
One of the most mindbendingly enjoyable reads within the last ten years for me was Promethea by Alan Moore and illustrated by J.H.Williams III. Simplified, the heroine is an amalgam of superhero archtypes such as Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel (with obvious hints toward Moore’s take, Marvelman). In her alter ego she is a... »
Comic book quote of the day
By far The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman is my favorite title of the past few years. A friend who held the flame of comics alive for me presented me with the first volume trade paperback. Always a fan of zombies in film and books, this title stands out as one of the best... »
Comic quote of the Day
Today’s quote is a little longish, but it comes from the beautifully executed DC New Frontier. The words are those of Ted “Wildcat” Grant as he fights Cassius Clay to defend his title in front of his former superhero colleagues. In the scene of the story Grant adopts “Plan B,” where he basically goes into... »
Favorite Comic Book Quote
This one is from Kingdom Come. What a great read and I love Superman’s conflicted characterization. Our job is thankless… but we do what has to be done. Right now, we’re humanity’s only hope. Be heroes. – Superman Or it could be added, an editor. »
Comic book quote of the Day
This is from one of my favorite low key Superman stories. I still have my 1998(?) promo poster for Superman for All Seasons signed by Jeph Loeb on my wall. Supes has a little word balloon drawn out of his mouth that says “To ____ Soar!” That poster has been on every bedroom wall,... »

Today, I cheat. The quotes aren’t really from a comic book, but do involve a comic book character, one of my favorites beyond the obvious reasons that I will share at some point. The character, of course, is Batman. The source material is the 1992-1995, Batman animated series. I was reminded how fantastic the series... »

This one is from James Robinson’s run on Starman: Give me a razor-wielding midget dressed up as a kid, any day. – Jack Knight, Starman »
Today's comic quote
This one is so appropriate for so many of my days. And it is from one of the most touching stand alones of Sandman, a game between Despair/Desire and Dream about the first and only Emperor of America: “His madness… His madness keeps him sane.” “And do you think he is the only one, my sister?” –... »

A quote that won’t make your sailor of an uncle blush (from Preacher): “Not enough gun.” – Saint of Killers (After getting hit by a nuke) »

Thought this might make for an interesting regular feature. Overshooting the mark, let’s try for one of these daily: This one is from Transmetropolitan issue #1 by Warren Ellis. Holds special place for its main character’s career and the burden editor types put on the creative types. Royce: “Your first deadline’s tomorrow. I... »
