Yeah, we’re in chrysalis mode here at Snap Judgments, big changes coming soon to layout and whatnot. Change is good!
But not some change. At the store, we try to be careful on what kids can and cannot get their grubby little hands on when it comes to common perceptions of ‘inappropriate material’. [...]

And the Cupboard Was Bare - Preview Reviews for 8/29
August 28, 2007 – 8:59 pm
Well, here we are, another week, another set o’ comics. I was surprised to see that Marvel was kind of bogarting the books when it came to the previews this time. Sure, they put the big issue everyone’s been dying to see since they trotted out ‘Clor’ over in an 8-page preview at Newsarama, [...]
SOMEONE WARN THE SENTRY!!!

The team at the University of Minnesota said the void is nearly a billion light-years across and they have no idea why it is there.
“Not only has no one ever found a void this big, but we never even expected to find one this size,” said astronomy professor Lawrence Rudnick.
Writing in the Astrophysical Journal, [...]
Name Drop It Like It’s Hot
August 22, 2007 – 12:56 pm
So, in sexy, sunny and very nearly on fire Santa Barbara, CA, we had a special vistor in the store the other day. And I’m not talking about one of the upcoming writers on the ‘Brand New Day’ version of Amazing Spider-Man either.
While I was at lunch (of course!), one Joe Johnston came into the [...]
No, seriously, for REAL! - Preview Reviews for 8/22
August 22, 2007 – 12:50 pm
Well, they were ‘preview’ now they’re just ordinary run of the mill reviews. You see, I had a good portion of the workload set and ready for formatting (my gift, my curse) when I got to one issue I just couldn’t pull together. What was going on? Why should people care? [...]
You Can’t Keep a Good Man Down
August 12, 2007 – 7:15 pm
Now, awhile ago, mightygodking of livejournal fame, one of the fine internet denizens who helped me get through the Civil War, was kicked off the online journaling system I’d come to enjoy him on for being what they called a “serial copyright offender”. He explains the situation here and personally, I’d just make a little [...]
The Spider-Man of Today! PREVIEW Review of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #23
August 12, 2007 – 1:05 pm
I’m flagging this one out of the usual preview books (which did eventually come in, thanks UPS!) because this is the last issue of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Peter David was brought on the book and had a rough time of things right out fo the gate; the Other divided the brand new title between a [...]
Against Better Judgment
August 8, 2007 – 12:43 pm
Sorry about the lack of preview reviews; UPS stiffed us again with the magical mighty envelope of power that fuels my Marvel enthusiasm so I find myself a little floundering. I should be picking up some of my pull (maybe people might be curious about the books I deign to pay money for) and oh [...]
Can’t Live With ‘Em, Can’t Live Without ‘Em - New Avengers: Illuminati #4
August 2, 2007 – 2:01 pm
Look! Look on the cover! It’s the wives-slash-significant others of the Illuminati! Maybe we’ll get some back story on how they kept these REALLY IMPORTANT PEOPLE ignorant of the Illuminati meetings! Maybe we’ll get a coffee clatch of chicks catching up on what the heck this Illuminati’s been doing all this [...]
Crime Wave Hits Southern California!
Well, not but an hour after I posted my last here at Snap Judgments, I manged to contract the throat cold that one of our customers had been sporting for the last couple weeks. My sinuses exploded, I lost my voice, started up a little fever and the manager sent me home, making sure i [...]
