Has It Really Been Two and a Half Months?

Monday, October 5th, 2009

I can't believe I haven't posted in so long! I blame twitter as it seems to grab all my seedling ideas before they can grow into fully formed blog posts. However, I'm here now so lets see what I've been up to, unordered list style: Visited LA. Got back in to Magic: ...

The News Ain’t All Bad.

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Today I got my walking papers. Starting Wednesday of next week, I'll be furloughed from my job. As usual, I'll believe it when they are taking my ID card and waving goodbye. Too many times have I been informed that I'll be furloughed only to stay on an additional month. ...

I Should Buy Stock in the Comic Supply Industry.

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Recently, I received a comic care package from my friend Shad. Every now and then he boxes up comics, books, and trades that he isn't attached to and sends it to Corin and me. Bless the man, for he is doing the lord's work. It's especially cool because he tends ...

Care for an Update?

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

I can't believe it's been over a month since I last posted. I suppose all the holiday stuff got in the way, but the truth is that I simply haven't been in the blogging mood lately. There have been a lot of changes and more than a few events so ...

I Love Superman III.

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

Okay, so it's not the best movie ever. Hell, it's not even the best Superman movie. But I love Superman III. It has Richard Prior, hacking, a donkey ride through the Grand Canyon, a giant computer, the first usage of the "half penny computer scam", and of course a big ...

I’m Hooked on Final Crisis

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

I've read all 4 of the main Final Crisis issues that have been released and my interest level has gone from zero to totally obsessed. Since reading them, I've bought: DC Universe #0, Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds #1-2, Final Crisis: Rage of the Red Lanterns, Final Crisis: Requiem, ...

I May Switch to DCBS for Ongoing Comics.

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

One of the unfortunate side effects of having a comics hobby is that it can get a little pricey. Especially if you are interested in collecting ongoing comics and want to maintain that collection. At $2.99 a pop your monthly fix can add up quick, even if it is worth ...

Comics Have Taken over My Life.

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Okay that's a bit of an exaggeration. But I have been reading a lot of comics. I'm all caught up on the current JSA, JLA, Batman, Detective Comics, Booster Gold and Secret Invasion. The grand total was something like 55-60 comics. Its only comics, but it sure feels like an ...

I Love Shadowpact.

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

In case I haven't mentioned this before, I love Shadowpact. I've been reading it non-stop and it just keeps getting cooler. Shadowpact follows a team of magically powered superheroes and their adventures in the D.C. Universe. They generally fight obscure magic users and gods that threaten the Earth, but their exploits ...
