I don’t know what’s more weird: Seeing the Warner Bros. "WB" shield instead of the 20th Century Fox spotlight logo on a Star Wars film or seeing a Star Wars movie done in the style of the TMNT movie from last year. But the fact remains, the Star Wars: The Clone Wars is real and…
Oh, Your toe bone connected to your – FOOT BONE. Your foot bone connected to your – ANKLE BONE. Your ankle bone connected to your – LEG BONE. Now hear the word of the Lord! Remember that song? Dry Bones – a great African-American spiritual.Some of us remember it from the climatic episodes of The…
We’ve now had the Pennsylvania Primary and I guess one of the candidates saw their shadow because it looks like we’re going to have six more weeks of Primaries. It’s like the end of the first Rocky film – we’re getting to the end of eighteen rounds and neither fighter can score the knockout blow….
Numbers represent. They don’t really mean. Any meaning associated with numbers – or words for that matter – are what we assign to them. My social security number identifies me to the government but it’s not who I am. It has importance, yes, and if unscrupulous people get a hold of it, it can have…
Born in 1949, ComicMix creator/columnist John Ostrander loved comics from early on but initially followed a different love: religion. Raised Roman Catholic, Ostrander wanted to become a priest and attended a year of seminary before deciding it wasn’t right for him. Instead he turned to acting. Ostrander was part of a Chicago theater company in…
Here at ComicMix HQ, we’re located down the hall from the Star Wars changing room, so we’ve seen more Slave Leias and Stormtroopers in one day than the average person sees in a lifetime.

I remember the morning after the primary election where Harold Washington won the Democratic nomination for Mayor of Chicago, becoming the first African-American man to do so. It was February 22, 1983 – 25 years ago. The white voters were split between then incumbent mayor Jane Byrne and Richard M. Daley, son of long-time mayor…
For the record, I’m a child of the giant robot generation. I grew up pondering the life lessons of 1980s cartoon series such as Robotech and Transformers, and formulated complex theories regarding the place of Go Bots and Tranzor Z in the hierarchy of the universe’s massive mechas. Looking back on it now, I’m fairly…
Need a Star Wars fix but tired of reading tie-in novels, playing mediocre video games and re-watching the films? Why not whet your appetite with footage from some new adventures in a galaxy far, far away? Film School Rejects has gotten ahold of the trailer for the upcoming Star Wars: The Clone Wars film, set…
I’m growing older, approaching cranky-old-manhood, and there are increasing number of small petty things that simply annoy me, dagnab it. Since I can write whatever I durn well please in this here column, I’m just going to indulge myself with a couple of rants on different topics and nothing unites them beyond the fact that…
In the recurring "Paper Comics Deathwatch" feature over at Flashback Universe, the blog’s authors chronicle the events they believe to be hastening the demise of comics in printed form. It’s an interesting read occasionally, and I can’t help but laugh at the way "PCDW Points" are assigned to each event. Recent subject matter for PCDW…
