…and I’ve got the old man and the little baby running on down the corridor because they want to get to the end of time, to see what it looks like. And I’m writing that, and I don’t have to get the budget on the hyper-squids approved, I don’t have to get clearance for the 18 month old baby, I don’t have any problems with the nudity or, you know, the special...

30 DAY COMIC BOOK CHALLENGE DAY 30:
Your favorite run or series of all time:
It really is no surprise, I imagine. The New Teen Titans series, particularly anytime Wolfman and Perez were at the helm, will always be my favorite comic run. From the introduction of Terra, to Who is Donna Troy?, the Judas Contract, the wedding issue, battling Trigon in the baxter run… it fired my...

30 DAY COMIC BOOK CHALLENGE DAY 29:
A comic you thought you wouldn’t like, but ended up loving:
First read volume 1 in 2006 while staying with a friend in Chicago during the Wizard World Convention being held that weekend. And it left me cold. Fast forward to all the trailers for the movie last year and I realized I had read the first volume too “straight”. I...

30 DAY COMIC BOOK CHALLENGE DAY 26:
A comic you wish they would make into a movie:
If it stayed true to its core, it could reflect a lot of what has been going on these days with bullying, kids, etc. And just be a kickass movie to watch much in the spirit of Scott Pilgrim.

30 DAY COMIC BOOK CHALLENGE DAY 25:
A book you plan on reading: Every other category has specified ‘comic’ book. So if this is supposed to be just a novel, I’d have to go with the following, only because there’s no good reason why I haven’t read it already:
If it really does mean comic book, then I have to go with:
Only read one volume of...

I wrote this:
Which garnered a slew of responses. Two of which were:
And:
To which, having done a little homework, brings me to this:
Of the 26 issue number 3s that have come out so far this month from just the DC new 52 - certainly comics that are “mainstream comics…written now” - 15 had double page spreads.

30 DAY COMIC BOOK CHALLENGE DAY 22:
A comic book second volume which disappointed you:
It’s a second story arc rather than volume, but still works. The Ellis/Hitch 12 issue storyarc was amazing and took wide-screen comics to their height. This was followed by the Mark Millar/Frank Quitely run. As much as I loved Quitely on the book, the story was a disappointment. The...

Anonymous asked: Hey Peter. So I know your fondness for the Teen Titans and I can only assume you have read the first issue. What were your thoughts of the first issue? Did you like the changes to the characters we've seen so far? Also, what do you think of the return of Nightwing? Do you like his new costume? Lastly, Starfire? What do you think of her changes? She has no memory of being on the Teen...

So there are a million other things I should be doing right now. Sleeping, working on my NaNoWriMo, playing Gears of War. Instead, I’m lying awake thinking about this tweet:
This is Arbona’s response to the recent staff cuts by Marvel comics. I feel for the dude, I truly do, and I hope things things work out for him.
But he’s wrong.
