MYSTERY IN SPACE, SAGA, & PROPHET: Rediscovering Science Fiction Comics
May 22, 2012 4:10 pm I ordered some of the past Dark Horse Presents books on TFAW for nice discounts -- some of them at 60% off. These anthologies have terrific sci-fi tales in every issue.

THE SHADE #8 (OF 12)
May 17, 2012 11:50 pm This was a magnificent book, and Robinson is at the top of his game. Jill Thompson's art is superb -- check out the opium den and the body-strewn streets of St. Dubris. No excuse to miss this one.

Devil’s Advocate: Is Joss Whedon Right For ‘Marvel’s The Avengers’?
May 1, 2012 2:22 pm I agree this article is a bit too late. Although I appreciate Chris's analysis, the point is moot -- Avengers is already a monster hit, and the Joss directing decision was a winner by any measure.

Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye is a Terrible Archer
March 22, 2012 7:42 pm As an optometrist, I was extremely disappointed when my treatise: "Samuel L. Jackson and the improper use of the eyepatch" was rejected from Wired magazine. Perhaps my next attempt "Scarlett Johansson and her thirty-eight specials -- poor pistol placement" will be more successful.

Comic Book Casting: The PREACHER Movie
February 13, 2012 2:48 pm Ole Clint is not out to pasture yet, acting-wise. He'll star in Trouble with the Curve, a baseball movie being released late this year. It will be directed by his long-time assistant director Robert Lorenz -- the first time Clint hasn't directed a movie he's starred in since Wolfgang Peterson's In the Line of Fire in 1993.
Though I can dream of Clint playing the role, I still like the Scott Glen choice for the Saint of Killers.

Watch Out, Boys
January 23, 2012 4:04 pm Speaking as a father of a daughter (now 12) I've immersed in comics over the years -- at 4 years old Tiny Titans and Young Justice are two of your best bets. They'll be plenty of opportunity for the more "mature" female comic icons as she gets older.
