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 […]
The Threshold
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 […]
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 […]
#ComicsSupporter
On Twitter, as he is wont to do, Alex Segura has started a discussion related to comics. Who was your first #comicssupporter – the person that helped you go from casual to serious fan? For me, it was my dad – who bought me my first new/off the rack comic, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #348. I’d read […]
Spotlight Sunday (Kind Of) 5.12.19
The Spotlight isn’t back, exactly – I’m still mulling some options – but I have a thing I want to talk about, and today is Sunday, so…call it Flashlight Sunday. (Flashlight Funday? No? No.) Anyway, what I want to talk about is a thing I’ve been talking about a lot elsewhere, so I might as […]
“If you strike me down, I shall become m
Happy Star Wars Day! And, more importantly, Happy Free Comic Book Day! Go out and get some free comics, and also buy some comics while you’re at it. Anyway, to get to the point of this post, and the reason for the day-appropriate quote, I’m about to take down The Spinner Rack. There are…issues. And […]
Of Course 2: Electric Boogaloo
Some kind of change to the plugin I use to aggregate the info that turns into posts on The Spinner Rack caused some of the posts that should have gone there to get posted here. After discovering the error, and confirming that it didn’t appear to be happening anymore, I deleted the posts. Of course, […]

and last but in absolute no fathomable way least are the glorious UNDER THE MOON by @LaurenMyracle and @IsaacGoodhart, and SHARE YOUR SMILE by @goraina – both incredible YA offerings and a must-see when you pop into the shop #NCBD pic.twitter.com/iEFqokqqnL NOTE: A plugin error caused this and a few other posts like it to […]
