WonderCon Blues…
March 20, 2012 4:25 pm I arrived around the same time on Saturday and experienced only minor problems. To be clear, the Anaheim Stadium lot is exactly 2.4 miles from the convention center. I Google Mapped it, so saying "5 miles" is more than a bit of an exaggeration, Mike. The line for the shuttle looked long, but they had the shuttles line up and it all went pretty quickly. Would I have preferred to not wait in the rain and cold for ten minutes? Of course, but life offers little speed-bumps and it's best to remember that. My kids (6 and 7) told me, "Once we get there, it will be all worth it." Wise words. Once it was all figured out, we were on a shuttle for a five minute drive to the convention center. And once inside, it was a "Wonder"ful con with more than enough to please us fanboys. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Dave Dorman Offended by Vaughan & Staples’ Breastfeeding SAGA Cover
January 9, 2012 3:19 pm Is this image somehow sexual to Mr. Dorman? Is that what he's afraid of? There's nothing more natural than a mother feeding her child in the way nature intended. Shouldn't be hidden from children as if it's something "indecent."

Pick of the Week – 01.04.2012 – Peanuts #1
January 4, 2012 10:12 pm This feels like a review from a maturing-since-fatherhood comic book fan who is gaining life perspective on comics and perhaps realizing that they no longer provide the hit of escapism they once did. We're losing young Josh!

The Best of the Week in Covers – 09.14.2011
September 16, 2011 1:08 pm The woman depicted on the Criminal cover is better drawn, I think, but the retro-aged Unwritten cover just plain captures it. Great stuff.

What’s Wrong With You? Too Many Comics
September 16, 2011 12:48 pm This all feels like a bit of a humble-brag. "What should I do about having to read ALL these comics for my job?" Josh, you read comics for a living and part of that is keeping up with the related media. Cry me a river. You like it and you know it.

December 14, 2010 10:27 pm On the upside, this design really accentuates Spidey's vagina. So that's good.

Retailers on Digital Comics
October 18, 2010 4:50 pm Seems to me that having a model akin to the way most blu-rays are now released is the way to go i.e. a hard copy with a digital copy included. Simply put, if you offer the consumer a hard copy that comes with a code for a digital download, you create added value for minimal cost. I'm one of those collectors who wants both a digital and a hard copy. Love my floppies, but also want the option to carrying a chunk of my collection around with me digitally on my Ipad. Of course, there should be the digital option for those who want only that, but a combo (analog/digital) seems to satisfy all needs while at the same time giving the comic stores a fair shake.
