Welcome back. It seems that we took an extended commercial break for a bit. Got two or three posts coming in the next week to get back on track, but to get everyone excited for the return of regularity, I wanted to share with you what I am currently reading as I finish up both Koko Be Good and The Photographer, which will both be the subject of the upcoming posts. As tends to happen, there are characters that will… Read More »
I’ve been following this website, Comics Alliance, for a little while now and I found this post to be a cute little post about artist Katie Cook and her trading card series that she did from Marvel Comics and I just wanted to share them on this blog as well. And not only are they cute, they are also really well done pieces. Katie Cook is Cute Also, be sure to check back on the blog soon. I’m in the… Read More »
Just a quick post for this one, since I’ve already posted one thing today.

Most of them are from Cracked.com, which I find to be hilarious. It is also for a mature audience, so be aware of that if you wanna check these out. The humor tends to be a bit vulgar, but they definitely know their comics. 33 Bizarre Out-Of-Context… Read More »
My friend James just sent me this cartoon from the website HijiNKS Ensue commenting on the Marvel/Disney buy-out and I figured it would be a nice little addition to the blog I LOVE ZAC EFRON!
Well, I did just post to the blog, but I really think that this is something that should also be posted. A well known, but little discussed fact about comic books is the continually improving treatment of comic book writers and artists. I say contiunally improving because up until the 70s/80s/90s (depending on who you ask), the rights given to the creators of the books was next to nothing. They were paid, but their creations were not their’s. If you… Read More »
