Over the weekend news broke that DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan DiDio is no longer with the company. As of this writing, details are scarce, and there has been no official announcement of any kind. Naturally, this has led to rampant speculation as to why and what it means for the future, but, again, no one […]
The Threshold
Spotlight Sunday 12.15.19
The biggest change to the status quo since the last one means there are spoilers ahead for… My name is Clark Kent. I haven’t done a Spotlight post in exactly two months, and I hadn’t really planned to break that streak, but someone elseweb expressed an interest in reading what I have to say about […]
Go Read It!
Just popping in quickly to say that this article about Wednesday Comics, the unique experiment that DC Comics launched ten years ago, is worth your time. And also that it’s time for DC to launch a sequel. Go read it! And also, while you’re here…
Spotlight Sunday 10.20.19
A modern adaptation of a classic radio adventure that helped promote real-world justice means that the Spotlight has been turned on once again to reveal some spoilers for… The emblem on his chest looked like a badge, or maybe a shield. It told everyone that he was Superman, and that was awesome. In 1946, as […]
Spotlight Sunday 9.29.19
Getting lots of reminders about a comic I read to destruction as a kid means that the Spotlight is shining again today, and there are spoilers ahead for… OMAC lives so that man may live! Over on Twitter, there’s been a lot of discussion about comics that have gotten me thinking about this particular issue […]
A Stall

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 […]
Spotlight Sunday 7.7.18
The return of a certain Ace reporter to her own title after a too-long absence means that there is a temporary return of the Spotlight and spoilers ahead for… “Espionage and investigative journalism have a lot in common. More than just the hours.” I remain annoyed that last year DC didn’t do anything to acknowledge […]
Post-Con Check-In
The last post mentioned that your humble (only because I’ve been humbled so many times) President and Publisher was going to be attending a convention. Since that time, the convention-attending has occurred, so I thought that I’d just pop in quickly and talk about it a bit. There is a lot I could say about […]
Some Kind of Sunday
It’s not the Spotlight, and I’m beginning to think that the Spotlight may never shine again, frankly, but it is Sunday, and I though I should pop in and say something, or rather, a few somethings. I was excited to learn that one of the favorite writers here at OpenDoor Comics recently landed an exciting […]
