According to The Google, today marks the anniversary of the birth of Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus School of Design, whose influence can still be felt daily by urban workers every time they look up at a skyscraper featuring way too much glass. Meanwhile, here’s what our designer columnists have created for you this…
I visited my mom’s house for Mother’s Day, which always seems to include watching baseball, as Mom and I are both fans of the game. No, honest, this isn’t another column about sports! It’s about pink. You see, every year on Mother’s Day, Major League Baseball provides its teams with pink bats, pink ribbons and…
Greetings from Asbury Park the wilds of New Jersey, where I’m visiting my Mom for Mother’s Day! Hope all you moms out there are having a good one. Here are some loving presents we’ve given you, and every other ComicMix reader for that matter, this past week: Mike Gold – Whizzy’s Wazoo #65: Name Dropping…
So last week my column was criticized for not being primarily about comics, the same day that my fellow columnist John Ostrander got over a dozen comments writing about politics, not one of which queried the appropriateness of his subject matter. Obviously people who have written and drawn comics for a living (Denny, Michael, etc.)…
Hope you all had a great Free Comic Book Day! Here at ComicMix, of course, every day is free comics day, with all our new original graphic material! But don’t forget the original material from our columnists as well; here’s what we’ve had for you this past week: Mike Gold – Whizzy’s Wazoo #64: Del…
The 2008 Major League Baseball season is now well underway, so much so that broadcasters tend to get bored already and search around for anything else sports-related about which to pontificate; last weekend, as I recall, it was the NFL draft. Heaven forfend we stick to one sport at a time, after all. Or that…
Last weekend’s New York Comic Con affected ComicMix columnists in different ways, with Michael, Martha and myself all musing about the con experience (and Dennis and John discussing other events of note from that same weekend). Here’s what we’ve written for you this past week: Mike Gold – Whizzy’s Wazoo #63: Superman Blue…Archie Orange Dennis…
It’s now been three days since NY Comic Con 2008 ended, but I had to save my con report until now because it usually takes me this long to fully recover and gather my thoughts. The older I get and the more convention time I’ve logged, the more a few patterns begin to present themselves,…
Welcome to all New York Comic Con attendees discovering ComicMix via our coverage and con presence! Do stop by Conference Room 10 (mid-level by the bathrooms and Kinko’s sign) to say, "hi," pass along news tidbits and so forth! In the meantime, as Rick Marshall mentioned in Friday’s "The Changing Face of Online Journalism" panel,…
The memorial panel for the late great writer Steve Gerber was about as eclectic as he was. The panel began with a slideshow tribute to Steve’s work, set to the tune of the Beatles’ “Revolution.” Moderator Mark Evanier and Steve’s friends and relatives made sure Gerber’s spirit was as much in attendance as it could…
As you probably know, except for the LA-based Michael Davis, every ComicMix columnist lives in the NY-NJ-CT metropolitan area. The famous magazine cover at right chides our perspective as somewhat skewed, but in reality I think New York City and its surrounding suburbs offer a pretty good microcosm of modern civilization. Not for nothing are…
I’ve printed out the NYCC panel schedule but I don’t feel nearly ready for this coming weekend. Stay tuned to these pages to find out where you can locate your favorite ComicMix people, including the ones who wrote these columns this past week: Mike Gold – Whizzy’s Wazoo #61: Money Dennis O’Neill – The Four-Color…
