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…
Remember that time when Superman caught a Kryptonian virus on Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman? And he spent practically the whole episode laid out on the couch, barely conscious? And all he could manage to do was sort of thrash his head about and moan a bit? Having spent the entirety of…
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…
There’s a plethora of “reality” shows on the tube and some fit into the niche of what I call “redneck reality” – shows like “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” “Redneck Vacation,” “Alligator Wrestlers” and so on. There’s also a niche of “supernatural reality” shows such as Ghost Hunters, Finding Bigfoot, and other “investigative” shows. Of…
“Comics are full of nice guys named Mike.” Either Mike Gold or Mike Grell said the above quote some 20 years ago. Considering I was just five at the time, please forgive me if I can’t remember who said what. What? Whoever said it was talking about the comics industry and the abundance of seemingly…
When I was a kid, comics were all I thought about. There was no better time in my day than when I was finished all my crap schoolwork and was able to turn my attention to the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man or Batman I was a child of DC but soon I was just as vested…
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…
A few days ago I received an email from my friend John Jennings. John is a fantastic artist and teacher and I’ve known him for a lot of years. I was not happy with what John had to say and let him know it. What John wrote me was a pretty detailed accounting of why…
Weâve talked about being disrespectful of the dead because you donât like their creative work. Now letâs talk about being disrespectful to the living. As has been reported elsewhere, some pages from Dan Slottâs Amazing Spider-Man #700 have been leaked to the Internet prior to its December 26 (tomorrow!) release date, including the big conclusion…
I wanted to see The Dark Knight Rises as much as I’d wanted to see any movie. When the film opened, I decided not to see it: the mass shooting that occurred during an opening night screening of the movie screwed me up but good. I was not being noble trying to make a stand…
One of my favorite episodes of Buffy The Vampire Slayer is Season 2’s “Lie to Me” in which a friend of Buffy’s from her old school in Los Angeles comes to Sunnydale with the (secret) intention of giving Buffy to Spike in exchange for having Spike sire him… i.e., turn him in to a vampire….
I met Karen Berger around 20 years ago when Vertigo first became a DC Comics imprint. I was 5… heh. At the time I was doing work for Piranha Press, another DC imprint, which started around the same time as Vertigo. From her start at DC, Karen was a no nonsense yet kind editor. What…
