DC Comics’ big event hype over the summer has been the Batman/Catwoman wedding. Now we all know how comics have worked the last couple decades, and we know by proxy that “nothing is forever” – and by forever, I mean lasts more than 2-3 years before it gets rebooted, redone, respun. How anyone can take […]

The Charm Of Older Comics And Returning To That
I was reading through some old Amazing Spider-Man issues by Gerry Conway and found that the stories are so compelling compared to a lot of modern comics. I picked right up in issue 139, and though Peter Parker had a lot of drama he was juggling in his personal life, the info was all there, […]
Announcement: The Return Of Flying Sparks (Making Comics Great Again!)
Over the last few months I’ve been working on comics in tandem with my award winning novel series. I’ve penned several comic issues which are in various stages of development. What I’ve learned in creating comics I that it’s a slow game. More often than not, collaborations with artists don’t work out and you’re stuck […]
Alt-Hero Is Sending A Message To The Comics Industry Again
Last week saw the release of Alt-Hero #1 to backers. I read the book and thoroughly enjoyed it (though I did read the script much earlier). Now we’re seeing the digital release on amazon to the general public. Already this morning it’s the #1 new bestseller, #2 in the category overall, and at #2,200 of […]
Image Comics CFO’s Thin Defense Of Attacking Christians
On Sunday, the CFO and one of the original founders of Image Comics, Erik Larsen, posted a tweet mocking Christians. It was duly reported by Bounding Into Comics as something egregious and insensitive to the religious — especially done on Palm Sunday. Many people on Twitter were offended by the tweet, and Erik Larsen joined […]
Contributing To A New Site
I’ve been reviewing comics on here for some time, lately with my quick shot simple reviews as of late to try to give a feel for what comics I’m liking reading in this environment where so much of the industry is either bad or full of toxic negative identity politics. But I”m pleased to announce […]
Quick Shot Comic Reviews: March 1 Edition
My pull list was fairly small this week, so I only have 3 books to review: Ninja-K vs. The Valiant Universe #2 This is an underrated little title. I’m not sure it takes place within the general Valiant continuity, as I believe this was originally meant for a tie in for a live action web […]
Quick Shot Comic Reviews – Valentines Day Week!
Reviewing up a selection of comics I read this week in brief snippets: Bane: Conquest #9: The start of a new arc here, where Bane is assembling a team to go after the dastardly secret society Kobra. Interesting introductions to several characters, though a little slower than a lot of the book has been so […]
Quick Shot Comic Reviews
I’m back for another round of brief reviews of all the comics this week as I couldn’t pick just one. I missed last week so there’s a smattering of titles in here. Go West #1 (Alterna) by Gareth Gunn and Saint Yak A post apocalyptic horror about a man who’s family gets slaughetered and he […]
Comic Review: Right Ho, Jeeves #1
Today marked the release of Akrhaven Comics’ 2nd outing, the first issue of the adaptation of P.G. Wodehouse’s classic, Right Ho, Jeeves. I’m a reader who’s coming in not having read the book in which it’s been adapted from, so I can’t comment on how faithful it is to the original, and I come at this […]
A Crowdfund to Help Will Caligan – Blacklisted For His Conservative Thoughts
I know everyone is waiting on my information with SFWA where I have hard evidence the board of the organization conspired to ensure I was blacklisted within a single day of my application, and then took a full month to invent a reason to justify it. It was pure discrimination over my being an outspoken […]
Bounding Into Comics Ember War Interview
Bounding Into Comics interviewed me yesterday about The Ember War, which is linked here. Interesting how they’re the only comic media outlet to pick up the announcement, with The Ember War books outselling the vast majority of Marvel/DC comics. It’s almost like the media doesn’t want any competition to the Big 2. Oh well, we’ll […]
