Oct. 27, 2009 -- Most of us have never wanted to go to Turkmenistan, nor could we find it on a map. But the graphic novel
Joe and Azat ($10.95, NBM/ComicsLit) depicts it as an awfully interesting place.
The Joe of the title is a Peace Corps volunteer, and Azat is the Turkmen who befriends the American during his two-year hitch. Joe is based on writer/artist Jesse Lonergan (
Flower & Fade),…

For those not reading
Invincible Iron Man, things just keep getting worse for Tony Stark. Here's a press release and some images for the issue coming out Nov. 18.
I've already blogged about "Stark Disassembled" once, so I confess the real reason I threw this up was to practice posting multiple pieces of art. Since I seem to have figured it out, that raises the question: Would you folks like to see more of this sort of PR? And if so, where? As blog posts on the front page? In a…

Here's a press release from Marvel along with some nice art. But that's not the only reason I'm posting it. Something occurred to me as I was looking at the art, that I can't figure out. Maybe it's been explained. But here's my question (actually two): One way you can tell Daken from Logan in the Wolverine suit is the elaborate tattoos on Daken's left arm. So riddle me this: How do you tattoo a guy with a healing factor? And wouldn't his hair grow back from that mohawk cut, like, every five…

Every so often, the powers that be at DC comics decide to reshape their world in some sort of crisis – from Crisis on Infinite Earths, to the Infinite Crisis and the obvious Final Crisis. When this happens, to coin the vernacular, “Worlds Live!! Worlds Die!!” – But what happens to the characters that are left behind, and who decides their fate? Welcome to the…

Mainstream network television is not a good incubator of unique and "quirky" shows like Josh Whedon's
Dollhouse on Fox. Fox has just announced it is pulling
Dollhouse off the air during the key ratings month of November. The show is set to resume airing on December 4th, with the long-awaited Summer Glau episode. The schedule change is all but the kiss of death for network television. And it's so sad, because last week
Dollhouse finally started to live up to its promise as…

Well, Steve, I suspect you may have wondered if I'd given up on the whole "blogging" thing. Not so, it was more a
combination of having a good chunk of my time watching and commenting upon
The Time Tunnel, combined with my recent
purchase of a Wii. Years ago, the game that prompted me to buy an N64 was
Super Smash Brothers. Some time after
that, the game that prompted me to buy a GameCube was
Super Smash Brothers Melée. So, I imagine that it will come…

When I last put a piece of text here, we left Captain Nathaniel Adam hovering over a devastated city in his world and wondering what was going on. In oh so many ways, there are a few of us who wish that had never ever being answered, because the answer was a series that certainly raised more questions than answers.
Battle For Bludhaven was one…

I'm procrastinating doing any work for school, so I'm going to sit down and write some reviews on most of the comics I've read over the last couple weeks.
Fables 87-89
Vertigo Comics
Willingham, Buckingham, Pepoy, Leialoha

The winds are changing once again in what was once called Fabletown. In the wreckage of city hall, our story focuses on Bufkin the Flying Monkey, the dismembered head of Frankenstein's Monster, and the magical mirror. Only a book…

It wasn’t easy to think of a DC title that should make a comeback. They bring back their titles so often that I have more opinions about which concepts should be given an extended vacation than I do about which titles should come back. But there is one very notable…

Doctor Destiny intended to be a master thief, but the Justice League of America stopped him before he could steal his first valuable. After that, he spent the rest of his Silver-Age career trying to destroy the League from his jail cell. He never did make that big score.Professor Amos Fortune, on the other hand, was well on his way to a life of wealth and luxury, without ever having to worry about the law or… Continue

I am a relatively new devotee to social networking, but in the few short months I have been on Facebook, I have taken to it like a duck to the fountain in the Peabody Hotel lobby. I have to admit it is a guilty pleasure of mine to browse my friends' profiles and also look at friends' of friends' profiles (I'm sure I'm not the only one who does it!). I was innocently doing just that the other night when I discovered that a friend of a Facebook friend is married to an ex-boyfriend of mine. This…
