Weekly Sketch Up – 05.31.2013
May 31, 2013 1:44 pm When I first saw the Hendrix piece my first thought was "wow, that looks like Jimi Hendrix cosplaying as Kraven the Hunter." And it looks really cool.

Zatanna: Where Do I Start?
May 30, 2013 2:45 pm Add me to the list too. Zatanna, Power Girl, and Batgirl are the books from before the new 52 that I miss the most.

Weekly Sketch Up – 05.24.2013
May 24, 2013 12:27 pm That's a nice looking piece. The Boston Con is probably my favorite weekend of the year and I can't wait to stop by Joe's table this year and see if he's doing sketches there.

Great Moments in Comics History: Fantastic Four #341
April 25, 2013 4:24 pm I remember reading that page when the series first came out. It really blew my 11-year-old mind and made me think about different things you could do with a page.

April 25, 2013 4:22 pm I'd consider going, but only if I knew for sure that Ron Richards, the Image Comics superstar Director of Business Development, was going to be in attendance.

The Reread
April 3, 2013 7:49 pm I read every floppy I buy at least twice. I've found that I have a tendency to go through everything really fast the first time because I am excited about it and then I make an effort to read it again and pay better attention. In fact, if I don't feel like reading something again, that's when I start thinking about dropping the series.
I also am always re-reading something in trade. I keep a trade that I've read on my bedside table and read it for at least an issue or so before going to sleep, usually after reading whatever book I'm reading for about a half an hour. So I've read everything I own at least twice (it's getting more difficult to stay awake now that we have a baby though). The series I've read the most are Y: The Last Man, Preacher, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and the silver age Doom Patrol.
Only once have I read a collected edition and immediately opened it and reread it after finishing. That was when I got the Fear Agent Library late last year.

Top 5: Marvel Comics Catchphrases
March 26, 2013 9:54 am When I was in middle school I read an old reprint of a Namor comic where he exclaimed “Sufferin’ Shad!” and I really tried to work that phrase into my regular life (and no, I was not popular in middle school).

WHOA! Robert Redford in Talks to Star in CAPTAIN AMERICA: WINTER SOLDIER? [UPDATE]
March 22, 2013 3:00 pm Maybe they're planning on using him in flashbacks as Cold War era Nick Fury. They'll avoid the whole issue of why he hasn't aged by making "Nick Fury" a rank and not a person.
