Francisco

Name: Francisco Rosa

Bio: Been reading comics 30+ years. Living in Montreal Quebec, I've been exposed to both North American comics and it's French equivalent (from QC, France & Belgium), so I like to think I'm fairly diverse in my tastes toward the artform.I dabbled in comics writing, art and publishing during the 1990s with my Scarlet Rose Productions company but discovered after 5 years that I was much better in the wine trade. So I now spend most of my time tasting, reviewing and selling Bacchus' favorite drink.I also served 3 years as a Judge and advisor for the Joe Shuster Awards, the Canadian comics awards which brings the work of canuck creators to public attention.

January 9, 2012 6:34 pm I think filippod has something here. Dorman obviously feels that breast pumps are the preferable method of getting milk for babies

Dave Dorman Offended by Vaughan & Staples’ Breastfeeding SAGA Cover

January 9, 2012 2:42 pm someone's definition of what a "comic" is, is key, isn't it? If your definition is "something made for children" or "storytelling art form". but then it all comes down to what someone finds appropriate for his child.

January 9, 2012 2:32 pm I always find it fascinating that portraying people beating each other to bloody pulp is okay but something as natural as a mother breastfeeding her child is felt to be offensive.

Heads Up: Marvel Comics Previews – March 2012

December 21, 2011 9:03 am The combination of decompression storytelling fatigue, 20 pages of story and the $3.99 price tag, have made me drop the Bendis Avengers titles.

Heads Up: Marvel Comics Previews – March 2012

December 21, 2011 8:53 am All we need now is a black Nick Fury in the 616 universe to add to that group shot. Oh, wait, rumor has it that that's coming too.

Heads Up: Marvel Comics Previews – March 2012

December 21, 2011 8:49 am Unfortunately, Matt Fraction has lost a lot of good will since Fear Itself. I myself have even dropped his Invincible Iron Man which seems to be going nowhere.

December 14, 2011 7:43 pm Nice beer suggestion. The Cabbie sound right up my alley too. If you ever need a wine suggestion to pair with a comic, I'll be happy to to lend my sommelier experience ;)

FIRST LOOK: Frank Cho has AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #0 Covered

December 13, 2011 5:16 pm I wish everyone who bought event comics would buy creator-owned ones. Perhaps that way we'd get more than one issue of Frank Cho's Liberty Meadows every 6 years or so.
