As a reader who doesn't buy everything (unfortunately, neither money nor comics grow on trees), I'm not current with all of the major and minor developments in the Marvel and DC Universe, and am often startled by an offhand remark (What? Loki became
I had to put off buying comics so that when I did make it into my LCS last week there was three weeks worth waiting for me. I still couldn't afford to clear the shelf so I selected just ten. Ten comics that I thought would be the best among all comic
The wonder of Glee, for me, is its power to manipulate emotions in such a blatent way...and I'm not bothered by it. There could be a lot of reasons for this. One, I was in choir and drama in school and the frightening and fantastic emotions linked

I know there are some big music fans here, so I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations (or warnings) regarding turntables. I'm essentially looking for something inexpensive for general listening and I'm leaning towards a Sony based on online r
I've already posted about Fables & Bill Willingham in the Fables "Great Crossover" thread (since it was the active Fables thread). He was the guest I was most interested in, but there was an especially rich guest list this year. Top of the rest was
Sometimes I think I should start an entire group just for dreams, because I have a lot of complex, vivid dreams that I need to write down somewhere. I'm sure others do, too. But that's a question for another day. Here's last night's, before I forget
