This week there is no over arching theme to the column.  I’ve got a pretty big one in the works about the last decade in comics and I’ve written a bunch of articles this week on various comic topics but a lot of little new bites came out so I figured I’d take a quick look at...

Okay I promise after this column I’ll try not to throw back to the 90′s so much. But alas for this week, the 90′s are an important aspect to the book I looked at so they’ll be referenced a fair amount. The comic in question is Image United. As I have previously...

Deadpool is everywhere. Okay well maybe not everywhere but everywhere in the comic rack. Deadpool seems to be this year’s flavor of comic book. Created in the early 90′s as a villain for the New Mutants/X-Force, his current rise began just before the Wolverine movie came out but...

I like horror. There, I’ve said it. Horror fans have started getting an interesting rep within the last decade. It’s kind of like being a card carrying member of the Kiss Army. You’re constantly tested in that group of fandom; what your favorite movies are, how many time...

The first crime novel I can recall reading as a mature reader was Andrew Vachss’s novel Sacrifice. It was one of the Burke books, following a mysterious and quiet possibly dangerous fellow on a quest to bring back a kidnapped child that was being sexually tortured and possibly being...

Just a Thought is a weekly column where writer Brent Chittenden muses about comic book news, views and opinions. Brent’s views and opinions are not necessarily those of Comic Book Daily, it’s editors, writers or staff. Well no sooner had my last column been posted then I found I...
