Down on DC
I was filling out my pre-order list for March when I noticed something unusual. My DC entry was extraordinarily low. Of course, this didn’t happen overnight. My interest in DC’s output had been steadily shrinking for some time but the March preorders revealed that I’d passed a tipping point. I noticed it first when I checked off more comics from Dark Horse than DC. But it…

Deck Log Entry # 151 The Seventh Thing (Part 1)
In Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll’s sequel to Alice in Wonderland, the White Queen tells Alice, “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
Whether they realise it or not, that’s pretty much the creed of comic-book fans. In order to buy into the drama of the story, they are required to accept as…

'Zero Omnibus' big in every sense of the word
By Andrew A. Smith
Scripps Howard News Service
DC Comics shipped something big just before the holidays. So big, it might take you two hands to lift it.
The New 52 Zero Omnibus ($150) collects 55 comics DC published beginning last September, all of which were numbered “zero” and chronologically preceded…

Buffy the Fantastic
I’m kind of confused by the Buffyverse right now. There are four Buffy related titles right now- the two ongoing series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel & Faith plus the two mini-series Spike: A Dark Place and Willow: Wonderland. None of them are bad but they aren't what I expected. They are lot more… fantastical than what I had been told to…

A Dark Day for Comics: CBG closes
Here's the bad news, via press release. My heart goes out to Brent Frankenhoff and Maggie Thompson. And we've all lost something unique. I'm too choked up to say much more, but here's a history of the magazine at former editor John Jackson Miller's Comics Chronicle site.

How you can help Peter David
For those who haven't heard, Peter David, writer of stuff, reported Dec. 30 that he had suffered a stroke. On Jan. 4, his wife Kathleen answered the many who asked how they could help. I'm reprinting her post from peterdavid.net:
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Even though we have health insurance we have co-pays and the like. And since this stroke fell at the end of the year, we have all the new co-pays to deal with (I can honestly see those of you who have had to deal with…

Ghosts at the Feast - A DC One Million Interlude
This is one of a series of posts on DC One Million, the Grant Morrison-helmed, month-long, macro-crossover from 1998.
In this installment we're looking at some of the 'ghosts' haunting the celebration of Superman's return from eons of exile in the Sun - one writer notable by his absence, and four ongoing titles that more or less wrapped up during DC One Million. Follow the…
