'Indefinite hiatus' strikes again!

I've been waiting with trepidation to see the fallout on Diamond's online information since the bankruptcy was announced. Well, the other shoe has dropped — and it's as bad as I feared.

For those who don't know, the Diamond Previews site was my prima

Captain goes to Sickbay

Howdy! I'm just leaving a note to say I've got retinal surgery on Monday, March 31. It's out-patient, and if all goes well, I should be back on the board later in the week. The Mods run this board anyway, so I don't really do anything, and you won't

Important news about KC

I’ve got big news, Legionnaires, and it’s not great.

Most of you are familiar with ClarkKent_DC, aka KC, aka Kelvin Childs. Kelvin isn’t just another Legionnaire, he’s an OG Legionnaire whose genial comments, enormous knowledge and expansive spirit h

My Column Art is Gone

I know we have a thread about problems on the board, but I can't find it, so I'm going with my own discussion.

About an hour ago, I pulled up one of my older columns to reference, in order to answer a question on another site.  To my horror---and acc

Getting organized for the new year!

Now that we're in 3.0 and have a general idea of what we're dealing with, I'd like to tackle some things I've been putting off. 

The big one, that affects the most Legionnaires, is that I'd like to add some tabs (The black links at the top of the pag

The coming 3.0 apocalypse

OK, Legionnaires, it looks like it's really happening: Most of this site's data has been copied to a new Ning 3.0 site: captaincomicsnew.ning.com. Theoretically, that means that when I give the OK, Ning will do some magic to make the new site take ov

Linda Needham (Tracy's mother)

Tracy's mother passed away yesterday after a brief battle with cancer.

Here are some thoughts shared by Tracy and her sister.

It is with unmeasurable sadness that we share with our family and friends, the loss of the greatest woman we have ever known

Three opportunities for Legionnaires! Please read!

PLUG YOURSELF

I know a lot of Legionnaires are writers and bloggers themselves, and do a lot of work we should all be following. As far as I know, the only place these writers have on the site to plug their work is the "What are you blogging about th

The Comics Round Table: "This website has a flawless reputation"

I was doing a Google search to find some point I made in a thread many moons ago so I could link to it in a thread today (as I often tend to do), and came across this review of our humble corner of cyberspace:

Ning 3.0 Migration

Recently I filled out a survey for Ning. Not something I normally do, but I kept getting the prompt every time I went to the site, and it was so annoying I filled the darn thing out.

This coincided with some problems on the site. Some of you noticed

The Graphic Mueller Report?

Now that the Mueller Report is out, do you think a comics-style version of it - or versions - could be viable? I suppose it could combine comics-style dramatization and comics-style illustrated text.

Spam Message

I just got an email purporting to come from an Andrew Smith, with a link to a webpage which I didn't click on. The message says it was sent from an iPhone. I don't get much spam, and the name made me think of this board. I thought I should post about

Avatars!

Hey everyone!

I notice we've got a lot of new members on the board, and a fair number of old ones, without avatars -- just the anonymous silhouetted headshots Ning starts us out with. It occurred to me that members might not know how easy it is to cu

Brian Jacoby/Dagwan

Guys, 

Some of you have probably already seen this on Facebook, but I'm sorry to say that one of our old members, Brian Jacoby (who posted here as Dagwan and Dagwanbard) passed away yesterday. Brian was a great guy, and a really kind soul. I remember
