The Comic Book History of Comics
June 11, 2012 5:57 pm This book is an absolute gem. The best history I've read of the industry and a great visual comic book in its own right. I bought this digitally and it works just as well. Go buy it. Now.

DC Histories: Steel
December 7, 2011 9:32 am I really want to like steel, but on the other hand I think DC needs more Heroes of colour who don't emulate others, depend on technology, or act as a "Back up "
What the Milestone Universe did in this regard is outstanding, and deserves to be more fully integrated into DC and goven a chance to shine.

iFanboy – 2011 Hiatus Announcement
November 30, 2011 12:37 pm Ah Guys, I'll miss ya, but I can't say you don't deserve it ! You've been pretty damn consistent & regular for many years. Maybe in future you could pencil in more of the team to do shows on a semi regular basis to give the big 3 a break. ? Really hoping best of the year still appears if only in text.

Comic Shop Casualties
November 29, 2011 4:28 am UK shops I lost.
2 in wrexham north wales, but they were poor, unwelcoming and unreliable.
Trowbridge wiltshire, - again, unreliable and ended up owing me money when they asked for advances then never delivered comics.
Shops we should have lost ; Swansea, south wales : Spent a fortune there over the years: Visited with my wife and kids recently and found them rude, unwelcoming, dismissive, sexist and anti-kid.
Shops I'll remember for ever: grey & pink in Chester: Friendly, easy going, welcoming owner, great selection, and sadly missed.
