When talking about comics with people that aren’t into comics a book that comes up a lot is Sandman. Sandman is, in my experience, the most recommended book to people who don’t like comics, haven’t read a comic, don’t take comic books seriously, or think comics are ____________ (insert sweeping generalization). It’s a great comic,Continue reading “Say Hello To The Bad Guy…”

That’s Okay With Me
There’s a misconception that The Simpsons and Family Guy are alike because they reference things. In fact, these days, nearly any show/movie/comic book that references another piece of work risks being labeled as Family Guy-style. Or is explained as “You know, like Family Guy.” Worse yet, someone pulls out “Family Guy-esque.” Yeah, you took aContinue reading “That’s Okay With Me”
BAM! POW! Batman: Not Just For Depressed People With Vigilante Fantasies Anymore!
Every now and then the media gets a wild hair up their ass and decides they should do a report on comics and how they’re edgy. And violent. And…not just for kids anymore! Pop culture writers have been doing this during most of my 29 years on this earth, and whenever they do so, theyContinue reading “BAM! POW! Batman: Not Just For Depressed People With Vigilante Fantasies Anymore!”
Soup R. Man: My Favorite Superman Comics
As I’ve written on here before, people are dismissive of comic books. But they’re REALLY dismissive of Superman. He’s corny. He’s old. He’s a “boy scout” (often said with a sneer). He has too many powers. There’s all sorts of excuses for why people don’t enjoy Superman, or wouldn’t read a Superman comic, but the fact is…most ofContinue reading “Soup R. Man: My Favorite Superman Comics”
New Comics Days Are The Best Days…
You may not know this, but there are new comic books every single week. They come out on Wednesdays. All due respect to Odin and his day, but Wednesday is done. Let New Comic Book Day shine forth as a beacon of hope in a weak full of Tuesdays and Thursdays and…Mondays. But let usContinue reading “New Comics Days Are The Best Days…”
More Digital Things To Buy With Your Digital Moneys
Today (May 20th, 2013) on Comixology, there is a sale focusing on one of my favorite current comic book writers, Kieron Gillen. So for only 99 cents an issue you can get nearly full runs of his work on Journey Into Mystery and Uncanny X-Men.

The Old West That Never Was: East of West by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta
I am firing guns into the air with excitement after reading the first two issues of East of West by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta. Yeah, like that! Thanks, Mysterious Pale Cowboy! Anyway, East of West is a pretty damn interesting Sci-Fi Western Alternate History. It’s like a meaty chili comprised of genres. And meat.Continue reading “The Old West That Never Was: East of West by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta”
Iron Man, Iron Man Does Whatever an Iron Can
So you come out of Iron Man 3. You’re excited. You’re jazzed. You look down, you have jazz hands you’re so jazzed. You want to buy Iron Man action figures, you want to buy Iron Man…comic books. But what should you buy? Well, to kick things off, let me start by saying that there isContinue reading “Iron Man, Iron Man Does Whatever an Iron Can”
Folks Talkin’ Bout Comics 4: Transmet Wrap-up, Gender-izing, and Superman Origin Stories
It was way longer than we said this next chat would come, and possibly even longer for me to edit and post it. To be fair, we’ve been busy not only with our work lives, and comic book reading, but we each also were enrolled in an online course called “Gender Through Comic Books.” ItContinue reading “Folks Talkin’ Bout Comics 4: Transmet Wrap-up, Gender-izing, and Superman Origin Stories”
“Patronizing Headline About How Comics Aren’t For One Sub-Group of People Anymore!”
I created this site in an attempt to get tell people about the comics that I love, and engage them in discussions about said comics. Some folks are reading it, though based on search terms a number of you are here because I’ve typed the words “Sex,” “boobs” and “boobs sex comics” one time orContinue reading ““Patronizing Headline About How Comics Aren’t For One Sub-Group of People Anymore!””
