This Week in Panels: Week 142

Sunday, June 10th, 2012

Good day and welcome to another ThWiP. I swear, one of these days I’ll get around to doing an opening graphic or something. Maybe. Probably not.
I’m joined by Was Taters, Gaijin Dan and Jody.
The Before Watchmen panel is all me. I guess I should nip this in the bud before it melts into the comments, […]

Before Watchmen: “there’s a war going on outside no man is safe from”

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

This was going to be a simple round-up of a few recent posts on DC’s Before Watchmen, but ha ha, I realized I still have stuff to say. Sorry.
The other day, out in the hardest part of the tweets on the wrong side of the twacks, a comics pro tweeted that the conventional wisdom that […]

if newsarama knew better, it would do better

Monday, April 16th, 2012

I wrote a thing this weekend about some frankly laughable and odious comments Joseph Michael Straczynski made about Alan Moore and Dan Didio made about Before Watchmen on a DC panel at C2E2. I wrote about it because like… it’s obvious, right? They’re actually saying stupid and demonstrably false things in public and expecting us […]

Gotta make this quick. I have a headache, I feel like crap and I have to wake up early. But on a lighter note, I won a free Nook Tablet at work and that absolutely rules.
Helped out this week by Was Taters, Space Jawa and my buddy Jody. All sorts of varied comic book stuff […]

“The knife fell, and then the guy fell.” [Parker: The Score]

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

Chris Ryall revealed the first preview for Darwyn Cooke’s 2012 adaptation of Richard Starker’s The Score the other day. As expected, it’s a great image, well in line with the other novels Cooke has done thus far. The Score is a good novel. Not my favorite–if I had to rank them, it’d probably go 1) […]

This Week in Panels: Week 92

Sunday, June 26th, 2011

Welcome back to another week of panels of stuff that didn’t happen. This week I’m joined by Was Taters (who thought the Lois Lane book had some good concepts buried under miles of gratuitous cleavage and thongs), Space Jawa (who has a lot to say about why Ultimate Spider-Man’s death doesn’t work, but that’ll wait […]

Why? The fashion is a big part of what makes his work so crucial. He not only draws clothes like what you might actually see somebody wearing on the street, but they actually fit […]
