Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod) replied to Cavaliere (moderator emeritus)'s discussion What are you watching right now?

"My wife and I have been watching it: it's a tradition. I'm less invested now that I own the Blu-Ray box of the entire series. I highly recommend it. It offers remastered sound, plus a variety of extras, depending on the episode: commentary…"

Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod) replied to Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod)'s discussion Ice Cream Man Vol. 5: Other Confections

"Wow, that was an effective cover in his case. Hard to predict how he will like the book itself: there's a lot more to it than parody, but if he appreciated that cover so much there's at least a chance."

Jeff of Earth-J replied to Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod)'s discussion Ice Cream Man Vol. 5: Other Confections

"I just read this review as well as your review of the first collected volume. Sounds pretty good. A friend of mine proudly showed me his copy of the Dr. Seuss variant cover recently. He liked it so much (the cover) he expressed the intention to…"

Heroes Convention 2009

Posted on June 19, 2009 at 11:26pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

After a late start, spent almost seven hours at the convention.

These writers all know each other, and had a good time tossing the questions around,… Continue
