You ever wake up one day and realize how much you like a someone’s work?
About a month ago, I happened upon a documentary about Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers called Runnin’ Down a Dream. Great doc by Peter Bogdanovitch.
Having nothing else to watch, I tuned in and it started dawning on me that I [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve done a full grab bag edition of Just a Thought for a while.
Not much goes on comic news wise until convention season hits it’s full stride in the summer. But we did get a few big bits the last few weeks.
DC’s Restructuring.
We knew it was coming and I [...]

There is a type of magic that comes with a writer and artist that click.
While there is something to be said about writers who can also draw like Mike Mignola or Frank Miller, there’s something special about comic book writers who work well with a particular artist. And there are a lot of teams that [...]

John Constantine has done quite well for himself as far as characters go.
The character essentially started off as kind of a throw character that Alan Moore created because then Swamp Thing artists Steven Bissette and John Totleben wanted to draw a character that looked like Sting.
As in the dude from The Police.
I’m 100% serious.
Take a [...]

DC has a problem.
The current slate of Marvel film projects looks pretty awesome and what’s more, they are interconnected. And much like the kid next door, DC wants the same thing.
DC, I am here to solve your problems.
In various articles through my time with Comic Book Daily, I have mentioned how DC’s animation slate is [...]

I am a huge fan of movies.
I’m also a big fan of movie history and trivia and love hearing about projects that disspapeared or never quite got finished. Movies like The Fountain. Sure it did finally get made but originally Brad Pitt was supposed to star. Mad Max 4 which was going to [...]

“I must hurry back to my comic book store, where I dispense the insults rather than absorb them.”
Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons
Last week I briefly mentioned the comic shop I go to in Barrie called the Blue Beetle and the reasons why I shop there as opposed to other stores.
It got me to [...]

My comic shop is Blue Beetle Comics in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
I’ve been going there for about two years now. The staff is knowledgeable, fun and most importantly the store is clean and it’s easy to find stuff. On the off chance you can’t find something, the staff knows where to look and 90% of the [...]

“Sling us a web, you’re the Spider-Man
Sling us a web tonight
‘Cause we all sure could use us a hero now
And we think that you’ll do all right “
Ode to a Superhero by Weird Al (via Billy Joel)
Well it’s official, Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire and everyone else are apparently done with the Web Head.
I have rather [...]

It’s the beginning of a new year. A year of hope, a year of promise and hopefully a year of kick ass comics.
To start this year off I’m going to talk about…well a bunch of things. Come on! It was the holidays! Nothing really big happened….or did it?
Marve/Disney Deal more or less approved
The [...]

So a lot of people are doing end of year and end of decade lists for what their favorite this is and what their favorite that is.
…okay I’m one of those people.
In fact my co-host and I have built a whole episode around it and turned it into a parody awards show called The Assies.
We [...]

There are a few sad things about the late artist Dave Stevens.
Obviously the fact that a man so talented was cut down fairly young by cancer is pretty predominant. In conjunction with that is the fact we only ever got one real complete comic work from Dave. There are a ton of pin-ups and a [...]

Well, we are at the end of a decade.
And surprisingly, comics have had a very solid run this decade, on all fronts. As I’ve been doing some research into the decade, I’ve found a lot of interesting material to cover: creatively, business wise, and even some general gossipy sort of stuff. For the purposes of [...]

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 [...]
