So I guess this is where it ends, unceremoniously and abrupt, like puking on grandma up at Thanksgiving Dinner (true story).  I suppose it’s for the best: as you can glean from the comic below, we weren’t getting along too well.  I don’t want the millions of Bag And Bored fans out there to despair, perhaps one day, many, many…

I started thinking about the recent rash of superhero deaths while involved in a conversation about “The Dark Knight Rises”.  Remember when you could just sever a vigilante’s spinal column and that was enough to keep him out of continuity for a few months?  Now they have to be shooting people in the chest, and letting them get consumed by…

 We would like to inform everyone that Six is Six times greater than One not Five.    

Despite my obvious thirst for knowledge, and a keen intellect dwarfed only by my roguish good looks, several things escape my near-omniscient gaze.  Things like Harry Potter, Dr. Who, or that Narnia thing with the pedo lion.  Point being, I get them, I’m just in no hurry to actually experience them.  However, at the behest of retailers and friends alike,…

The first panel is Dan DiDio, the ‘Santa Of Comic Books’ as I like to call him, and the second is the greedy cadre known as….well, you know, I really haven’t come up with a fitting name for them.  Perhaps I shouldn’t.  They’re just a bunch of guys trying to sell comics.  I shouldn’t fault them.  Except for that guy…

With the impending doom of the DCU about to make its curtain call in a few weeks, our excitement is at once palpable and guarded.  I’m sure I feel something like excitement for the sheaf of new books that will be available, but the most important question:  Will I want to read any of them?  Is what intrigues me.  It…

At the risk of sounding like “those Guys”, I was really underwhelmed with the first issue of “The Infinite #1”.  Perhaps that’s too strong a word.  Underhappy?  Will that work?  It’s not that they didn’t deliver on a promise.  They said “Pouches” and they came through.  They said “Big Guns” and man, were they ever.  They didn’t say “crazy dumb…

So If you havent heard this clip from Glenn Becks Radio Show Listen to this First and also watch this Colbert Report, because its hilarious . But seriosly folks It’s a comic book in ultimate continuity while the books are great do you really want to read a Spider-man book that s almost exactly like your normal Spidey book I dont thats Why…

So I work for a theater company here in Las Vegas, and I don’t know if you have ever worked for any theater company  but they hire a “special” kind of person. My place is no different, I have a boss named J-Wayne  and on a daily basis  he sexually harasses me.  wether its doing lunges as soon as I get into…

Once I got to see a taping of ‘The Daily Show’, and Tom Cruise was the guest, and I tried to explain to a friend (who was not there) how the air seemed electrified somehow, by other people’s excitement.  Mr. Whedon’s presence at SDCC was like that, but nicer.   -Ian
