I Kill Giants

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I read a book the other day that simply, for lack of a better term, touched me. Since I now have yet another platform from which to babble at you, O huddled Internet Masses, I thought I’d tell you about it.
It’s called I Kill Giants.
Written by Joe Kelly and drawn by JM Ken Niimura, it’s the [...]

Adoreableness

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Just in from the fine folks at Blind Ferret Entertainment:

LICD Beginnings Vol.2: Adoreableness!

These are my personal favourite of the LICD books, as the over-sized format makes the art absolutely sing. C’mon in and check it out!
PS – no truth to the rumor they named the book after me.

Captain America Mega-Deal

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Well my friends, it’s been kind of a bummer week for Captain America fans. Some movie details were revealed, and things aren’t looking good for the ol’ Star-Spangled Avenger.
But then, my dear friend “Fred” (pictured) inspired me to prove that all is not lost when it comes to Cap, and that’s why I’m offering [...]

Gettin’ Slingshot!

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

Thanks to everyone who stopped by The 4th yesterday for our Afternoon With Danielle Corsetto!

Danielle may be gone, but she left behind a whole box of Girls With Slingshots books (Volumes 1-4), so come on in and get ‘em while they’re hot!
She also left behind her car keys… I wonder if she’ll need [...]

Apparently I’m Not The Only One Who Occasionally Rants

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

In response to this post, I received the following. All I can say about it is not once in my post did I mention Diamond. Have a read.
Acutally, Moss– F*ck You.
Rich has every right to his opinions as you do. If you’d been in the comic business for more than 5 minutes, you would [...]

An Update

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Apparently, there was more to say. For the record, I didn’t delete any of this person’s comments or posts, and they are still available on TheWatchtowerPodcast.com and NoReasonComics.com.
I see you DELETED the very long, thoughtful comment I made to your misinformed rant.
I also see, that by deleting my post, you’ve proven what type of [...]
