with Tongue

I’m kind of starting to enjoy these quick bits of furious webcam-ing.  This is really what I do on my ten minute break at work if I’m not hungry or aren’t reading anything.  I set up (harder than it looks as the video is so dark), record, check levels, edit as much as I can [...]

Let’s Do Lunch

So, I’m back to work; nt full time just yet, but I got a head full of projects and promotions and tons of excitement for getting behind the ol’ register again.  On the whole, it’s been exactly what I’ve needed and the support been just super.
But I love lunch.
Just love it.  Work an eight-hour shift, [...]

Cracking the Internet in Half

Okay, so it’s one thing to overhype your stuff to the tried and true fans; by this point, we should expect every issue of every comic that rolls off the Marvel assembly lines to fundamentally change our lives and bring peace to the Middle East.  No, let’s not get into whether or not the issues [...]

The Great Gap

Okay, the quick quick version:   Yours Truly’s been out of the comic loop for a few months.
And I swear, no matter how much I read, the more I have to wonder what I’m missing.
Sure, there’s the problem of a large fire making the 25 long boxes I had nothing more than dust in the wind [...]

Because YOU Demanded It!

Watch this space.

Originally, Mighty Avengers was supposed to be the ‘real’ Avengers [...]

The Coolest Thing EVER

You see, sometimes cool things happen to you and others have coolness thrust upon them.
This is a little of both:
That’s right.  At my hometown comic shop, at my place of employment, Mr. MATT FREAKIN’ FRACTION is going to be live in person sitting not ten feet from where I type this.  All the way from [...]

All the Luck in the World

Funny story:
Metro Entertainment (SANTA BARBARA’S BEST AND BRIGHTEST FOR COMICS TOYS GAMES AND MORE – sorry, got a little promo tourette’s there) sent me and the store manager to local university UCSB to spread the word about our shop, our big event coming up on the 18th this month and about what we sell.  It [...]

The Right Tool for the Right Failure

I didn’t always, but I really like the Authority.
I’m sure somewhere Warren Ellis has said it smarter or better or not even this at all (seriously, YOU try and predict that man!) but it’s kind of the logical extension of the Justice League.  If people as powerful as Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman just hung [...]
