Hey, did I miss something? I may have as I don’t visit the site every day but did we not just pass one year of ComicMix?!! Where is the fan fare? Where is the celebration? Where is the love? I’m not sure if fans know just how much goes into maintaining and…
They Say It’s Your Birthday… As we celebrate the kickoff of Year Two, ComicMix Radio notes our own anniversary by bringing back our very first guest, the shy and retiring ComicMix editor-in-Chief Mike Gold, who is eager to share what’s next for the site in the clicks to come. Meanwhile, we’ve got the details on…
I spent part of last Tuesday getting a laser shot into my right eye. And how was your Tuesday? It was for purely medicinal reasons. I have glaucoma; it’s a disease, can be hereditary, by which the fluid in the eyeball doesn’t drain out well. This increases pressure within the eyeball which erodes the optic…
One of California’s biggest and best conventions devoted to comics, movies, TV and all the things we love here at ComicMix is putting the finishing touches on its stellar lineup of guests, screenings and other exclusive happenings. No, I’m not talking about Comic-Con International in San Diego — although that is a fantastic convention not…
Well, it says here that this is Whizzy’s Wazoo #53. That means today ComicMix starts our second year. Wow. This is a good time to look back at what we’ve done, what we’re trying to do, and how we’ve made the world a better place. Whereas that last point is undoubtedly true, I’d rather…

It was 30 years ago this week that I first slept with the man who would be my husband. This didn’t happen because I sensed he was my soul mate, my other half, the light to my void. I didn’t think he’d be the perfect father to my children. I didn’t think I needed…
So there I was, in my car, tooling along, headed towards my eye doctor appointment, listening to my public radio station, WNYC, and one of their talk shows – the Brian Leherer Show. The segment was referred to as “Can Meat Be Ethical?” The guests were Joan Gussow, professor emeritus of Nutrition and Education at…
When ComicMix launched a year ago, we were especially pleased to include the legendary Dennis O’Neil as one of our regular columnists. Denny has written and/or edited every major character in comics, including Batman, Spider-Man, Daredevil, Superman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Iron Man, the Question, Azrael, and Millie the Model. Back in the day, when…
Classic Illustrated Deluxe # 1: The Wind in the Willows Novel by Kenneth Grahame; adapted by Michel Plessix Papercutz, 2007, $13.95 (paperback) / $17.95 (hardcover) I’ve wasted a lot of time not writing the review for this book, mostly because I suspected it would be one of the shortest in my career. (And both you…
There’s been a lot of controversy about killing and resurrecting superheroes. I know that, because we’ve done a lot of that here on ComicMix. It’s fun. Be that as it may, Steve Rogers is dead, deal with it; Bucky Barnes is alive, so we (meaning me) should deal with that, too. Quite frankly, I…
