Social Media and the Comic Community

Removing Books From Your Pull List
After reading Leigh Hart’s column about pull lists, and taking inspiration from a tweet by Hope Nicholson, I got thinking about the eventuality of every comic book pull list… removing a title from your list (or the dreaded cancellation of…

Review | Finder: Talisman Hardcover
Carla Speed McNeil’s FINDER is both dense and inviting. Characters appear and disappear, panels jump from dreamscapes to reality, from flashback to flash forward. But each page further illuminates this lush and expansive sci-fi universe, and a little patience with…

Marvel are lightweights
I’d like to talk about the past year at DC comics, If I may. I’d like to open the door on how we think it’s all gone, a year on? With the luxury of hindsight. It’s been a full year…
Dave’s Comics
I’ve just returned home from a short holiday on England’s arty south coast in the attitudy town of Brighton. Brighton is packed with tattoos, dreadlocks, guitars, local bands, art-culture, galleries, motorcycles and generally all things cool and niche. As is…
Chewing the Fat: Chew Q&A Panel at Fan Expo
Chewing the Fat: Chew Q&A with Layman and Guillory panel I was pretty excited to go to this panel. It was really the only one I wanted to go to today (Friday) so, I got off the expo floor early…

Post Christmas Sales
Really I’m talking about Boxing Day sales, but for those not living in Commonwealth nations I thought to provide a title that would be universally understood. Comic stores don’t run a lot of sales in general: most have something along…
Comics News
I read a good amount of comic news every day, subscribing via RSS to the bulk of comic related websites. Unfortunately I find the bulk of it a waste of time, scrolling on by. The big news this week has…
2 Years Of Thoughts
This week marks my second anniversary as a columnist for Comic Book Daily so in a semi-self congratulatory mood, I figured I’d take a look back at the past two years and let you in on some of my favorite…
Liefeld and The Double Standard Debate
I kind of sat on this one for a little bit; surprisingly no one really wrote much about it. Rob Liefeld was prompted on twitter to explain the status of his Kirkman penned Killraven series which lead to a back…
Just A Thought | Black Dynamite in Slave Island
It is very rare for the first issue of a comic book to enter The Blue Beetle. It’s even rarer for a fight to break out around that first issue. Okay maybe fight is a strong word more like disbelief…
