Just thought I’d mention that on Saturday, November 15th, I’ll have a table at artist’s alley at… And I will have a table that will look *something* like this, only in a library… Yes, I will be selling copies of my comics, including: The Swede graphic novel series, which you can find out more aboutContinue reading “Stuff, Stuff, Appearances and Stuff!”

Let’s talk about why you should go see “Fantastic Four: First Steps” (spoiler-free)

It was a quiet moment. Reed was shaving, Ben was taking a bubble bath, and a soot covered Johnny Storm barged in, asking what the heck they were doing?! Were they giving up? This was in the middle of Fantastic Four issue #49, “If This Be Doomsday”. The middle issue of The Galactus Trilogy, aContinue reading “Let’s talk about why you should go see “Fantastic Four: First Steps” (spoiler-free)”

And now… Your New Fantastic Four!

Well, finally. With this official casting announcement, the MCU is finally moving full speed ahead with Marvel’s first family.

Brave & The Bold #115 – “The Corpse That Wouldn’t DIE”

Ridiculously joyous, insanely beautiful. As a kid growing up in the ’60’s and ’70’s, I had a penchant for reading comics, and some of the most desired were Batman comics. Each month, the cowled character featured in Batman, Detective comics, Batman Family, Justice League of America, World’s Finest with Superman, and The Brave & TheContinue reading “Brave & The Bold #115 – “The Corpse That Wouldn’t DIE””

Fantastic four: Full Circle by Alex Ross

Abrams ComicArts did what Marvel comics was apparently hesitant to do — put out a comic featuring the Fantastic Four, starring Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Sue Richards (The Invisible Woman), Johnny Storm (The Human Torch), and Ben Grimm (The Ever-lovin’ Blue eyed Thing).

Saw the most interesting comic strip in the newspaper the other day. My wife was reading the paper, and it caught her eye. She wasn’t quite sure what to make of it, so she showed it to me. We questioned what the deeper gag was. I mean, okay, Sisyphus endlessly pushing the rock up theContinue reading “The Uphill Battle”

The Doom Patrol

A couple years ago, the pilot episode of Doom Patrol was streamed for free. I watched it, and frankly, I wasn’t impressed for a number of reasons. I *might* have continued watching it, but only the first one was free, man, then you had to buy another streaming service to watch the rest of theContinue reading “The Doom Patrol”
