Okay, it might be all I can say on this and it’s a positive note:
BB: I made that choice very deliberately. Don’t get me wrong - I do like to keep some things off camera or panel if that will serve a particular scene or story. But in this instance, moving this off panel would [...]
All You Need to Know: Mighty Avengers #5
October 16, 2007 – 3:00 pm
Yeah. So, two Avengers books this week, one on the stands and one in the Preview pile. here one was a day when I would have been happily surprised by two whole books of Avengers fun back to back but now, disappointment looms overhead.
Mighty Avengers heralds its own arrival by being inconsequential from [...]
In Your Father’s Shadow

Okay, so we’ve all seen the Captain America redesign, yes? Go click, ooh and ahh, then come back.
I have to admit, aside from a little burlesque there with the black sheath slipping down to show you Cap’s all chromy insides, I don’t think it’s horrible or the best thing since sliced bread. As [...]
All You Need to Know: New Avengers #35
October 12, 2007 – 10:44 pm
So, like a lot of you out there, I got horrendously ill this week. Barely made it in on Tuesday to sell some comics, missed new comic day entirely which normally would be a damned shame if it wasn’t for the fact I was able to convalesce in peace as I had completely forgotten [...]

You’ll have to forgive me, but I have a wicked headcold and could use a little chicken soup/crackpot theory on comic storyline surprises.
So… Black Bolt’s a Skrull.
Yeah. I made that decision long ago when Marvel pulled the latest of its “What will you do, reader? WHAT! WILL! YOU! DO!?” taglines and made [...]
My Brush with Greatness
October 6, 2007 – 10:28 pm
So we may not be Golden Apple or Mile High, but I have to say that Metro Entertainment gets a fair amount of celebrity customers (one of whom’s going to be writing Amazing Spider-Man soon but won’t be named until I get his permission). And while I may have shown Crispin Glover where the Daniel [...]
A Personal Note to Dinah Lance
October 3, 2007 – 11:00 pm
Ever since I was a little girl, I had dreamed of my own Klingon Wedding. Oh, you think I’m joking? The bat’lehs, the blood wine, the big pointy shoes… I could see myself battling my future husband then joining forces to send the Gods into hiding. But my new Mister persuaded me [...]
The Flipside of Things
October 3, 2007 – 8:43 pm
Okay, strangest thing just happened: I was watching an ad for the Hitman movie coming out this month and suddenly I found myself thinking about the video game was based on. How I might want to look into it, maybe rent it from a Blockbuster, see what it’s like. After all, the movie looks kind [...]
Attitude Adjustment
I am one lucky gal.
When things get me down, when I’m starting to frown and think Marvel Comics just might have blown a gasket and gotten turned around somewhere that I don’t want to follow anymore, I am seriously seriously lucky to have one of the new Amazing Spider-Man writers come into the store and [...]
