Tweet § Evan Dorkin passes on the ways of his tribe to his child, Emily via WALT AND SKEEZIX: Anyway, as I posted recently, some cheap copies popped up on Amazon, and we purchased one for the framing project.

Tweet Everyone is talking about this career-spanning interview with writer/BOOM! EIC Mark Waid at AICN.

Tweet We have failed to properly mark the passing of Bea Arthur, but must now remedy that. As our pal Zena pointed out, there are now as many surviving Golden Girls as Beatles.

Tweet We meant to comment on this piece by Lucas Siegel from Blog@Newsarama for days, but never got around to it; the title was “My Opinion Is Right: Comics Press is Crippled Like No Other Industry” but despite that bold statement, the offending incident came from Marvel’s very active staff Twitter community There has been [...]
