No Comics?!??!????!!!
2008-12-11 14:00:00 I’m not sure if I can remember the last time this happened. I went to my local comic shop, and asked them to deliver unto me the contents of my box. However, my box was empty.

The Polar Express
2008-12-04 19:33:00 With my new found super-power of mobile blogging, I would like to take this opportunity to talk about something non-comic book related.

No Comics Today!
2008-12-03 14:53:00 I know I mentioned it yesterday, but I wouldn’t want any of my readers to miss it and end up at their local comic book store only to find there are no comics today. For example, I have to drive half an hour to the closest comic store. Just so we’re clear, because of Thanksgiving, ... More About: Comics , General , Today , Wednesday

New Burger King Coffee Advertisement Campaign
2008-12-01 19:12:00 I’m back from Virginia, it’s quite a drive back up to Jersey. Especially one to make twice in 2 days.

My Comic Life With eBay: A Retrospective
2008-06-13 15:46:00 Today’s post comes from Mike Haynes, the founder of Panels of Awesome. Usually, I avoid collecting comics. If a comic is really good, I’ll grab a couple issues and read them but I rarely “collect” the comics. There’s really only one title that I’ve tired desperately to collect from issue 1 to the latest issue and ... More About: Comic , Life , Comics , General , Ebay

If only it wasn’t multiple months between issues. Now I have to go into my long boxes and search out whatever the last issue ... More About: Love , General , Hate , Hate You , X-Men

Marvel Knights
2008-06-04 00:38:00 So, as an update on my comic-marathon, I’d just like to say that I finished Logan #2, and holy crap. The first one was amazing, and the second one blew me away. I know some people harbor misgivings about Marvel Knights because of some sub-par titles in the past, but right now Marvel ... More About: Comics , General , Passion

Weekend Webcomic Woes
2008-05-11 17:16:00 So, the weekend used to be a time where I would become excited for the new Ctrl-Alt-Del from Tim Buckley, but now that he has recently canceled his weekend posts, my weekends are becoming much more webcomic-less. Let me back up a bit, I used to save A Simple Apology and Palindramas for ... More About: Comics , General , Passion , Weekend

My Reaction to the Recent Batman Comics
2008-03-17 22:57:00 Usually I am partial to writing a full blown review of a comic if I want to share my feelings on it with all of you. The last two issues of Batman (673 and 674) certainly merit being reviewed; Grant Morrison is a phenomenal writer, and Tony Daniel does a fantastic job with the ...

Scrull Secret Invasion, who?s a liar?
2008-03-14 16:41:00 With the secret invasion looming in the near future, I’ve been getting to thinking about who could be a Scrull.
