Opening the door to a wider world of expression
Thanks to the holiday, I picked up my new comic books on New Comic Book Day for a change. I considered doing a special, one-off Weigh In Wednesday, but I already gave advance notice of which book(s) I’ll be writing about on Sunday a while back, so I decided against it. If – and that’s…
Because I can’t live on the ~$75 of revenue this site has generated in the three years it’s been around, I have to keep working at a day job, and because I have a day job, I missed my chance at this the first time around, but because some new copies arrived at the shop,…

It’s Saturday, and you know what that means…because if you don’t know what it means, you’re probably not here looking at this anyway, so who am I even talking to? Anyway, I bought comics. Let’s you – whoever you may or may not be – and me take a look, shall we? From DC: MISTER…
An overwhelming lack of enthusiasm means that there are spoilers ahead for… Red Sonja/Tarzan #2 Writer: Gail Simone Artist: Walter Geovani Cover: Aaron Lopresti Rated Teen+ $3.99 Dynamite “I quite feel that sheathing my blade to get assistance from the man who threw me over isn’t perhaps the wisest of all strategies at this time.”…
I show you what I bought, you take a look, then, hopefully, you come back tomorrow to see which of these comics – if any; I might choose something else entirely – I write about. That sums it up. Here’s the part where you take a look: From DC: THE LEGION BY DAN ABNETT AND…
In a rare advance look into my thinking, I’ll mention that I’m holding off on writing about The Man of Steel until the mini-series is complete. I will say that I liked the first issue more than I expected to; it sets up an interesting mystery, and while Bendis is Bendis – which is exemplified…
