All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder #5 (DC – Miller / Lee / Williams) Let’s put aside for the moment that it has taken DC almost two years to put out five issues, let’s put aside that so far the story has been sort of a rehash of Miller’s other works (no disrespect to Mr. Miller [...]

If you are someone who enjoys Dork Tower or is into gaming or geek culture in whole, you will really enjoy Misadventure Comics.  If you don’t know what Dork Tower is… or you don’t game… or maybe you aren’t into geek culture… well, perhaps you won’t get it.  But then again, maybe you will   [...]

Seven Soldiers of Victory vol 4 (DC/Vertigo – Morrison /Mahnke / Williams / Paquette / Bair) I’m taking a break from sifting through the Motor City stuff to tell you about this trade I read last weekend.

Well apparently… Matthew Atherton, Nell Wilson and the ever-winsome Chris Watters do. These are the alter egos (Feedback, Fat Momma and Major Victory respectively) of the top three contestants in last season’s Who wants to be a Superhero? on the scifi channel.

Scott designs costumes, models costumes and runs his own shop, Alienated Productions. Odds are, if you are at a con and go “Wow, what a fantastic costume… and [...]

What’s the number one reason non-geek-culture people go to cons? The answer of course is to see the members of the geek culture (it must be geek envy!) Or as at least one soccer mom put it last weekend “The nerdfest”. Now, as you observe members of the geek culture in their natural habitat, one [...]

So we are walking down one of the aisles and right away we catch sight of this really cool looking pirate guy… come on, can you really ignore a pirate? I had seen him before at cons and just sort of walked by. But for the first time, I sat down and talked with Nigel [...]

Just dropping a note for anyone out there who is saying to themselves “boy, I would love to go to a con… but I just don’t have the dough”.  Well, most cons have some sort of volunteer option… you work several hours and you get a free ticket and maybe some other goodies.  Something to [...]

One of the things I love about a comic book convention is meeting all the independent artist and writers, folks who are putting it all out there… investing their time and money to make their dream come true. While some of the creative souls we met last weekend should probabily go back to their [...]
