L’shana tova ComicMix!

Yeah, I’m psyched for this next year as well.  Even though I’m strictly a "Phase One" gal for now, ComicMix‘s next incarnation has me excited over lots of good reading ahead.  But let’s not let the weekly columns get lost in the shuffle:

Are we there yet, Mellifluous Mike Raub?  Almost to one hundred Big ComicMix Broadcasts:

May you all be inscribed in the Book of Much Nachas (that’s nachas, not nachos) for the sweetest and healthiest of years!

Going forward into the past

Once again I’m here at home base whilst my ComicMix colleagues have more convention fun, this time at Baltimore where, just about at the time you read this, The Big Announcement will be made.  I do hope it’s good news!  Meanwhile, let’s not forget that we "Phase One-ers" are still around cranking out our weekly columns:

And of course, Mellifluous Mike Raub edges ever closer to the hundredth Big ComicMix Broadcast:

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow, folks!

A rest from your labors

I’ll be travelling today, hoping everyone else had plans to take to their cars either yesterday or tomorrow, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t leave you with some fine  ComicMix columns from his past week, all well worth reading:

And for your listening pleasure, Mellifluous Mike Raub brings you the Big ComicMix Broadcasts as always:

And, of course, check out Mike’s weekly Stories Behind The Big Broadcast.

Have a swinging September, y’all!

A week of winners

Two of our comic friends’ posts follow up on news we reported here earlier on two ongoing contests.  Becky Cloonan notes that she was selected as one of the 18 finalists in the first-ever International Manga Awards, first mentioned on ComicMix back on May 25.  Way to go, Becky!  The winners are listed at the Japanese Consulate’s website.  And Heidi MacDonald lists the winners in the Life Without Fair Courts contest, first mentioned on ComicMix back on February 25.  Congratulations to all the participants and winners!  Speaking of winners, Glenn Hauman rejoined our ComicMix columnists this past week; here’s our weekly wrapup:

The ever-dependable Mellifluous Mike Raub is still helming our terrific Big ComicMix Broadcasts:

Winning entries all!

Another ComicMix summer party

Can’t stay long, gotta get back to ComicMix‘er Kai Connolly’s birthday party.  ComicMix columnists wrote stuff this past week.  Here it is:

And that’s not even including tons of news wrapups from Andrew Wheeler, loads of reviews, even a pool-playing post!  By the way, today’s bash emanates from the home of Mellifluous Mike Raub, who has arranged it all and still had time for his Big ComicMix Broadcasts:

The me who wrote this entry this morning hopes the Raub Residence will be as air-conditioned as the Riggs Residence…

Getting wind of what’s been happening

Once again we’re away from Second City comic book happenings here in the First City, but at least we can all share Chicago nickname puns as well as the Perseid meteor showers this evening from pretty much wherever we live.  That, and the ComicMix columns from this past week:

As you might expect, Mellifluous Mike Raub is in attendance at WizWorld Chicago, meaning more Big ComicMix Broadcasts than usual:

The interesting thing about many vacations is how much you want to do at the beginning and how little you’ve done at the end.  Mine has gone according to plan in terms of reading (see my column linked above) but not writing.  Ah well, maybe next time…

Fity-seven channels and nothing’s on…

olympus-digital-camera-24Yesterday was a very special day for lots of folks.  In the baseball world a couple of home run records were set, in the political world attendees at the progressive blogosphere’s Nerd Prom (yes, they have one too) schmoozed with the Democratic presidential candidates, and we at ComicMix celebrated head honcho Mike Gold’s 57th go-round in life.  All the incriminating photos my camera could muster can be found here.  And here’s our review of what we columnist types have been up to this past week:

I finally got to meet all of Mellifluous Mike Raub‘s many M-named sons, and the one with the "S" name.  He’s been busy as usual with the newest Big ComicMix Broadcasts:

I’m on vacation from my day job this coming week, so who knows, you might even see my byline again on something other than my column and this wrap-up…

When San Diego is too far away…

Yeah, I guess I’m missing San Diego, in more ways than one.  But then again, they’re missing the Del Close improv marathon here in NYC, so that makes us even.  Not.  Ah well, on to this past week’s ComicMix columns:

I haven’t even begun to keep track of all Mellifluous Mike Raub‘s Big ComicMix Broadcasts, so why don’t you do it for me?:

Tomorrow’s probably going to be a slow day while my colleagues travel and sleep, so it’s a good time to get all caught up!

Once you’ve finished That Book…

Nerds, geeks and thinking people everywhere are settling down to read J.K. Rowling’s latest and last adventure of Harry Potter prior to packing for sunny southern California.  At least that’s what they tell me; I’ll wait for the easier-to-heft paperback, thanks.  But there are no queues at all to read ComicMix columnist contributions from this past week:

If you see Mellifluous Mike Raub at San Diego, speak loudly and clearly into the mic!  Here are his contributions as he hits the Big Seven-Oh:

Have a safe flight of fancy, everyone!

A midsummer’s weekly reading

Another glorious summery weekend here in the New York metro area, so with the necessary errands all done (why is it that most of them seem to involve spending money?), it’s time to catch you up on what ComicMix columnists have written this past week:

Hey, Mellifluous Mike Raub has reached a milestone with his big ComicMix Broadcast #65 and beyond; does that make him eligible for senior citizen privileges?

Lastly on a personal note, a huge thanks once again to Andrew Wheeler for all his comics link posts during my extended day-job swampitude! I hope to be back here full time before y’all know it (but not before Sandy Eggo)…
