Name: Casey Thomasson

Bio: Warrior from the future sent back in time to teach the past how to be awesome. And also for comics.I lean toward the tights and fights genre, but if the story's not there then neither am I (I'm lookin' at you, Fear Itself...). That said, off-beat gems like Bone, Midnight Nation and Y: The Last Man have been known to keep my attention. Green Lantern, Silver Surfer, Young Justice and the Avengers made me love comics, but the loss of Slingers taught me the bitter lessons of fanboydom. Now I just love readin' 'em, commentin' on 'em and havin' a grand ol' time!

‘Man of Steel’: I Want To Believe, Sort Of
June 10, 2013 3:58 pm Well written, Jim. We may never agree on the Man of Steel, but your insight into the mind of the Super-Fan is inspired, there, at the end.

ASTRO CITY #1
June 6, 2013 12:45 am Wasn't going to get this (having never read the copy of "Life in the Big City" on my bookshelf), but reading page one in the store suckered me in. When the giant Kirby-god-ambassador had to adjust his levels when introducing himself, I knew this was my pick of the week. This feels like nothing else I'm reading, and I really want that out of my books right now. Great stuff.

All Geeks Are Fake Geeks

All Geeks Are Fake Geeks
June 3, 2013 2:19 pm "if i remember my history, the commercial success of jazz in the 40s signified an end to racism too…:)" Hmmm... I apologize if I'm being a bit too PC here, but might we refrain from equivocating anti-nerd bias to racism? That aside, I agree whole-heartedly with your statement regarding your con experiences. Love what you love, wear it proud, and fuck the rest.

June 3, 2013 12:26 pm Great article, Jim. Very little annoys me more than folks expressing outrage over how "our people" are represented. I understand that it's a method of "taking back the word" by a group who felt persecuted as youths, but honestly, if you're out of high school, that battle's over. The internet has irrevocably shifted the zeitgeist. Everything is cool now. We won. I call myself a nerd or geek (lower case) on occasion, but as a shorthand to identify my predilections for certain genres. It's a subculture, not a race.

ANGEL & FAITH #22
May 30, 2013 11:35 pm Sorry, Adventures of Superman. Seems I spoke too soon, 'cause after a day to sit on it, Angel & Faith was my favorite book this week.
