30 DAY COMIC BOOK CHALLENGE DAY 07 Favorite comic couple: Another topic with far too many choices. But a fun one to go through. I could go with the True Stories of Romance: - Superman and Lois Lane. When you boil it down, it really is the ultimate love story. Heck, it’s almost a love triangle with Superman, Lois and Clark. And in every retelling of his origin, the meeting between the...

30 DAY COMIC BOOK CHALLENGE DAY 04 Your guilty pleasure comic or character: This is difficult. A ‘guilty pleasure’ is defined as something you feel guilty about enjoying. But there really isn’t a comic or character I can think of that fits that definition. So instead, here’s a trio each of characters, comics and costume redesigns that are offbeat or not everyone’s...

30 DAY COMIC BOOK CHALLENGE DAY 03 A comic that is underrated: I could list ten titles that I consider underrated and probably come up with ten more after that. So I went with a comic that is underrated (and overlooked) by readers as well as the very publisher that produced the series in question! That comic is Black Panther. More specifically, Christopher Priest’s Black Panther from...

30 DAY COMIC BOOK CHALLENGE DAY 02 Your favorite character: Easy. That belongs to: If you thought Nightwing that’s not correct. If you thought Robin that’s not correct. My favorite character is… Dick Grayson. Why do I make the distinction? Probably because my favorite series in the 80s was New Teen Titans by Marv Wolfman, George Perez and company. And in that series,...

ericcjohnson asked: Just read your Oct.9 post to anonymous. Great thoughts as usuall. I feel lucky to be having been reading comics for over 30 years and even more lucky to be reading and experiencing comics through the eyes of my 11 year old son. Every day he wakes up excited about reading comics and does not care about that DC has "relaunched" or Marvel did somthing that everyone else seems to hate. To...

PREVIEWS for December!

If there’s one “comic” I’m always up to date on it’s gotta be the Previews catalog! I love knowing what’s coming down the road - not for spoilers (I rarely read the actual solicitation text) - but rather for new comics, new storylines, new works from favorite creators. I enjoy spreading the good word on comics and flipping through Previews is just one of the...

Anonymous asked: As a some what new comic reader, I noticed a wide range of reactions to the new 52 relaunch. A lot of the negativity really surprised me. Personally I was excited. If a business isn't doing that well, you have to spice it up a little. If relaunching helps do this then I accept that. I was wondering what your thoughts are on comic readers who are afraid or even unwilling(Readers who...
