Yesterday I wound up having two straight hours of emergency dental work. I cracked a tooth on Monday and so far, the week hasn’t been kind.
As they were strapping me into the chair and the doctor above me was asking if it was safe, a typical concern popped into my head:
Does Bruce Banner go [...]

All You Need to Know - Mighty Avengers #14
May 25, 2008 – 6:28 pm
Give me just a moment to just… remember why I liked the Sentry. Because this issue is trying to convince me otherwise.
We start out with old-school Sentry, back when he was a beloved character of the Marvel Universe, saving the Fantastic Four from what appears to be a Skrull attack. Bunch of Skrulls, [...]
Getting the Word Out
May 15, 2008 – 8:14 am
So, I haven’t gotten a chance to talk about Secret Invasion #2 yet (because, let’s face it…. after #1 it was kind of a let down) because with summer coming up, we’ve hit promotion season at ye olde store. So this means heading out to events like the Santa Barbara Social Game Night to talk [...]
All You Need to Know - Mighty Avengers #13
May 7, 2008 – 1:37 pm
Ares is on the Mighty Avengers, right? So we get one Avenger for a few panels! YAY.
I’ll just come out and say it: this should have been a mini called ‘Nick Fury: Secret Files’ or something. I think it does a disservice to the Avengers to have him take over BOTH [...]

If no one’s said it before, let me be the first: OH MY GOD WAS THIS WEEKEND OVER THE TOP.
We had Iron Man released to the masses, Free Comic Book Day celebrated (which tend to come with a sale, a signing or at least a balloon) and then, just to top things off, Metro hosted [...]
From the Trenches
May 3, 2008 – 11:33 am
I come to you live from the madness that is Free Comic Book Day (which I do have to say that if you’re not at, you should at least be watching Iron Man right now!), beleaguered and sore. Of the 35 or so titles we had this morning, we’re down to 15 and slowly dropping. [...]
All You Need to Know - New Avengers #40
May 2, 2008 – 8:04 pm
Ever just wanted to pick up a book with the people on the cover on the inside of the book? I mean, you pick up a book called ‘New Avengers’ and sort expect to see… well, AVENGERS.
Not so this issue.
I will say this, Jim CHeung’s artwork is really great. Every Skrull he draws has a [...]
I’ve Seen Iron Man
May 2, 2008 – 3:50 pm
Da-na, da-na-na, da-nanananana, da-na-na.
This afternoon, when I came into work, I created this sign out of a used back board:
I created this sign because I could pretty much call how my day was going to go:
Customer: Have you seen Iron Man yet?
Me: Yes!
Customer: Is… is it any good?
I’ve had to go through this [...]
All You Need to Know - New Avengers #41
Normally, I drag my feet to the next issue of the Avengers. It’s not going to be what I want and yet will probably contain some dynamic and exciting info that I’ll kick myself later if I don’t know.
Today, I have an exception.
THIS IS IT FOLKS!
Actual Avengers! Backstory I understand! Reasonable and understandable plot! Mind [...]
