I highly enjoyed my tome at WonderCon this year, set in drizzly San Fransisco and proving that last year’s joy wasn’t just a one time thing. I got to meet my awesome colleagues in the comic blog-o-business, from Blog@Newsarama to the amazing David Brothers from the 4th Letter. I got to sit in [...]

WonderCon 2008 - Marvel’s ONLY Panel
February 23, 2008 – 5:10 pm
Okay, Iron Man.
It’s the only goddamned Marvel panel at WonderCon this year and by hell or high water, I was going to be there.
Well, after both hell and high water I found myself a little on the late side in a gigantic auditorium with Jon Favreau and about 300 other people. A lot of [...]
All You Need to Know - New Avengers #38
February 21, 2008 – 9:49 am
So I’ve kind of been waiting for the actual issue to show up because, for any of you who actually got New Avengers #38, you were treated to a fantastic book that nearly lacked the Avengers entirely. But since Funnybook Babylon went at it for me on most points, I can kind of drag [...]
All You Need to Know - New Avengers Annual #2
February 13, 2008 – 4:00 pm
Hey! Look at this! I’m on a roll.
I do apologize for not having the incredible arc of ‘Oh There’s Symbiotes and Now There’s Not Let’s Go Fight Doom!’ in Mighty Avengers wrapped up, but sadly the store was shorted out allotment and I would never ever go into a customer’s pull to fulfill [...]
We All Together When We Go
February 13, 2008 – 10:30 am
Steve Gerber passed away this week, a fact I’m sure you all know even if you’ve been living under a rock (good WiFi reception under rocks!). You know this because everyone has wanted to note this passing, celebrate the author or chip in at least two-cents about a man who left quite a legacy [...]
All You Need to Know - Mighty Avengers #7
February 12, 2008 – 11:18 pm
At least one of you has been wondering where the next Mighty Avengers review as we got a couple issues in lovingly drawn by the Mighty Magic Machine, Mark Bagley. I’ve been wondering when I was going to get around to the start of the next arc of Bendis’ more ‘traditional’ Avengers rock’em-sock’em comic.
Funny [...]
This was Originally Blogged from Work, as an Anniversary
February 6, 2008 – 2:19 pm
But I promise it was after hours on my own time.
You see, back a couple years ago, I was getting in trouble for reading too many comic blogs on work time. I’ll admit it, I was an idiot (but this did lead me to shout gleefully at the esteemed Graeme McMillan at my first [...]
There Oughta Be a Law - Mini-Series Closure
Now, I’ll get to New Avengers in a minute, but one last thing about the New Avengers Annual. And Silent War. And X-Men: Emperor Vulcan. And I’m sure another mini-series or two that I’ve forgotten because it was really easy to when THEY DON’T END.
Silent War ended with Luna goes ot Black [...]
