I don’t get it. I just don’t get it. Last week I wrote to both my audiences at ComicMix & Bleeding Cool that I’d answer any and all Milestone questions. (Well, that’s any and all questions except the ones I won’t answer.) Over at Bleeding Cool I got a TON of questions. So many in…
I’ve been writing for ComicMix for the better part of almost 10 years. I’ve been writing for Bleeding Cool for the better part of 10 months. They are rival sites much in the way the Yankees and Mets are rivals, both play the same game but play it a completely different way. Like the two…
It’s been a while since I’ve taken someone to task with a good old fashion rant, so… Last week I missed my ComicMix deadline. Not that anyone noticed. Usually when I missed a deadline it’s because of illness or stupidity. Not that anyone cares. I drive myself pretty hard and take on a lot of…
In the years I’ve been writing these rants I don’t think I’ve ever written about love. I’ve written about sex many times but not love. I’ve always wanted to write about love but somehow never got around to it. Funny-perhaps I thought love and sex was the same thing. Is that why I have not…
A sad day in comics is coming. Sad days are in my opinion, the one thing that the comic book business knows better that any other entertainment business. Yes, other media has its share of sad days but those are usually the death of someone. I wish (and so do you) I had a dollar…
It’s Black History Month! Here’s a list of some of what’s happening in comics to celebrate the annual spotlight on Black America! Let’s see now… Over at the fantastic website Comic Book Resources (CBR) my friend and Milestone Media alumni Joe Illidge is doing a wonderful series of articles called The Color Barrier. I just…
My last ComicMix article ran Tuesday past, January 29, 2014. When first posted the image used was so small it almost unreadable. Mike Weber posted the following in the comment section Heh. That S.H.I.E.L.D. cover you reproduce so illegibly small at the column head was knocked off in the ‘80s for the back glass on…
My subtitle is the title of a great Bill Withers song, but an even greater Creative Source song. If you are of the age where you think of Twilight as a classic film, chances are you have never heard of Bill Withers, Creative Source or that song. Pity. I could understand not being aware of…
Last year Marvel made big news with the Black Avengers book they are doing or have done or will be doing. Truth is I don’t know if it’s been done or not because these days I rarely read comics that get massive press. Unless I know the creator I’d rather pass on hype – especially…
Mike Gold is going to kill me. Again, It’s pushing 9pm PST and this article is just now being put together. This time I did wait until the last minute. No excuses. I had a horrible falling out with a loved one that and a recent rash of random negative bullshit has totally thrown me…
December 7th 2013, a date that will live in infamy, the United Parcel Service was suddenly and deliberately attacked by its own ground and air forces and soon beat themselves into a very dark place a place made of their own stupidity. It’s Christmas. The time of love, peace and goodwill towards men. Mike Gold…
Brown Can Act Like They Give A Shit. That’s what Brown can do for me. “What can brown do for you?” Was the once massively successful slogan for United Parcel Service (UPS) that’s been replaced by “We Love Logistics.” If you ask me both slogans suck. “Who can Brown screw for you?” Now that’s truth…
