Last time I talked about how this whole thing got started and how ever since that start things have been stalled at the gate. I also got into some of the reasons why I think that’s the case, why there has been no significant growth of the platform or movement towards achieving the vision that […]
A Start
Six years ago, finding myself in a set of circumstances – both personal and professional – that could be viewed as either a challenge or an opportunity, I decided to pursue thinking of it all as the latter, and began weighing my options. It was that options-weighing that ultimately led to the creation of OpenDoor […]
Jimmy Olsen’s Blues
Last week I launched The Spinner Rack, a site that automatically aggregates information about comics from multiple sources, including publishers’ social media accounts, news sites, and trending hashtags. It was pretty basic, and while most of the content was dynamically-updated, the site itself was mostly static, and the posts linking to the feed content were […]
Take It For A Spin
I’m not yet ready to step back into the Spotlight, but I did want to pop in and let you know that I have, in fact, returned from my vacation. As is invariably the case, upon returning, I got sick. I appear to be on the mend now, but it did lead to the inevitable […]
Spotlight Sunday 3.10.19
An additional data point in favor of my long-held theory means that there are spoilers ahead for… “Come, you ignorant beast! Try and kill me so I can live again!” I was reluctant, as per my nebulous rules for writing about comics, to tackle an issue of Conan again so soon, but this issue provides […]
End of The Year Miscellany
I hope everyone’s holidays are going well so far, and while I mentioned in my last post that I was stepping out of the Spotlight for a bit, I thought I would pop in just to say hello and to talk about a few things. The original intent of The Threshold was for it to be […]
Lights Out Sunday 10.14.18
Okay, so, yeah. No Spotlight today. Sorry. I’m just not feeling it, and I have some non-comics-related stuff to deal with today. The Spotlight will return next week, and one of these days I’ll get around to that Very Special™ post, but for right now…yeah. I don’t think that the Showcase will return, however. Even […]
Showcase Saturday 4.7.18
Looks like it would have been a relatively light week last week if I had picked up any comics. Also, when pulling up the info on the comics I saw that I failed to remember to pick up The Teriffics #2 this week. But let’s take a look at what I did pick up, shall […]
Weigh In Wednesday 2.14.18
There is no asylum for Dylan even in the asylum, Barbarella can’t find a way for the ends to justify the means, Deadman is still dead and this comic is still an octopus of a thing, Superman and Booster face off against Zod and son, a collection of Brubaker’s tales of the Bat, a look […]
Sellout Sunday 2.4.18
Because I didn’t buy any comics* this week, there was no Weigh In this past Wednesday. As I’ve mentioned a few times, this might be the sign of things to come, as I was getting closer and closer, after nearly a year out of it, to re-entering the workforce. Well, that possibility has become reality and […]
