While I quietly wait for a really good excuse to go on an interstate mayhem spree, I read comics and watch movies. While I do the "writing" here, my wife makes it readable.

Things That Embarrass Me About Being a Comics Fan | |
I started on Cerebus with issues 18′ and was immediately hooked. | Comics without tights |
I read Northlanders a while back, but honestly just forgot about it while writing this. | Comics without tights |
The day after the show I get really bummed. | The modern comic convention experience |
I was going to poo poo this article for not being larger/longer. Surely there are more than 3? But really, you don’t need anymore than these three. The lists in the comments don’t really cover it either. Reign is just Dark Knight Returns for Spidey, Torment will never be taken seriously since McFarlane himself will never be again unfortunately, and really the only story that is both critical to Spidey and not on this list is Blue by Loeb and Sale. But even it touches on other parts of the story and retells them (wonderfully so, but still) | Three Essential Spider-Man Stories: Power and Responsibility |
I have yet to see the film, but my interest in sound and it’s effect in film coupled with this very good article means I will be seeing it soon. | Sound and Silence in 'Gravity': In Space, No One Can Hear You... |
While is didn’t enjoy the film as much as the comic, this was an amazing movie. | Exploring the Elements of Life and Death through All-Star Superman (2011) |
I am WAY behind on the book. o think I have the last 3 trades to read yet, and I am just hoping there is an endgame planned at this point. | Current State of the Comic Book Industry: The 'Independent Publishers' |
MLP is a great book, but I don’t think most of the readers are kids either. Much of the ‘all-ages’ stuff that is popular tends to be licensed stuff, and those kinds of properties are usually well established. This means any built in audience is already past kid age.
