When I was in the eighth grade I began to notice that all things were not created equal. Up until then the sneakers I wore were generic sneakers. No brand name that I can recall everyone just called them Skips. One day some other kids started making fun of my sneakers. They were all wearing…
I’m on the West Coast, Mike Gold, ComicMix’s Editorial Director, is on the East Coast and that’s the reason there is a good chance this piece won’t even run today. My articles run on Tuesday so I try and get them to Mike no later than Monday morning East Coast time. Most times Mike gets…
DC Comics is hiring a very anti-gay writer named Orson Scott Card to write for them. That’s bad enough in my opinion, but they are giving him Superman to write. Damn DC. Giving a guy who wishes gay people were wiped off the face of earth is one thing, but giving him Superman is just…
Last week I started telling the tale of Mike Richardson, CEO, publisher and owner of Dark Horse Entertainment and the hit he has put out on me. Please refer to part one before reading this. After years of back and forth Mike Richardson finally gives me the OK to proceed with my graphic novel, The Underground…
Mike Richardson CEO, publisher and owner has ordered a hit on me. Here’s the story… Over a decade ago I sold a project to DC Comics and that deal fell apart. Why? Why does the phone always ring when you are in the bathroom? Why do gay people join the GOP? Why from behind certain…
I finally watched The Dark Knight Rises last Saturday. Just a short recap: personal demons of mine kept me from seeing the film when it opened because of the shootings that happened during an opening night screening. The first day the film came to Blu-Ray I brought a copy and planed a Dark Knight Rises night,…
When I started dating seriously, and by seriously I mean dating women with a goal of a relationship, I tried to get every girlfriend to read comics. Before relationships, my goal was obvious. After achieving that, my secondary goal was getting up and leaving in the middle of the night. That’s if I had a…
Once again, Mr. Davis is not with us due to his hilarious misadventures in France. It is our understanding that he was involved in a long discussion regarding the effectiveness of the “no-fly” list under the belief that it restricts Jeff Goldblum’s employment opportunities. We have it on good authority that Mr. Davis is now…
Hi, there. I’m not Michael Davis. I’m his editor. Yeah, that’s not a good sign, is it? Here’s the deal. Michael wrote the first part of his latest life-shattering saga Why Does Michael Davis Still Read Comics? We ran that last week; if you doubt me, click on the link. Then, according to Michael, he wrote…
I’m back from another San Diego Comic Con. For almost 20 years (since I was five, Jean) I’ve given a party, a dinner, or both. For nearly that long I’ve hosted the Black Panel. I’ve had some fantastic events to be sure, but I must say 2012 was my best event year ever. My best…
Am I the only one that could give a flying fish about the new Spider-Man movie? I have no desire to see that film. You would think that a Spider-Man junkie like myself would be counting the days until it opened. Nope. It could have opened already and it would still not be a blip…
Over the years I’ve had quite a few young black creators insist they should be invited to sit on the Black Panel. For the record, that has never worked and most likely never will. I say “most likely” for two reasons: I try to never say never and I would be happy as a mofo…
