High School Debut
Haruna is a former soft ball star who’s decided she’s had enough of sports. It’s her first year of high school and she’s focusing all her efforts on snagging herself a boyfriend. The first page of the manga has her dressed up and waiting at the school’s notorious “pick up spot”, and not a single [...]
Picks of the Week 01/25/2012
Hickman continues his epic run with the Fantastic Four family. Threats, not just from this universe, converge on the Earth. Let’s hope the World’s Greatest Heroes can save the day. Best cold open in a comic in recent memory. This is a great follow up to [...]
Tiny Titans Fan Page
I’m writing this week from Honolulu, Hawaii, where it is a beautiful 80 degrees. I’m here for business, attending a telecoms conference where market analysts present slide after slide of statistical data while the sun sinks slowly into the Pacific.

I took my daughters (3 and 7) to see the Tin Tin movie during the holidays and was pleasantly surprised by the movie. I’d never read any of the Tin Tin books, so I came to the theater with no pre-conceived notions. What I found as the story unfolded was an exciting adventure story where [...]

Shy of two months ago I had never read Neil Gaiman’s Sandman Series. I had only heard good things about the series, but was unable to read it because vol 1 seemed to elude me for so long. Two months ago by some miracle I was able to sit down and over the course of [...]
Leviathan Strikes

Why would I buy that?
There is an interesting article over at Newsarama that asks fans why new characters and concepts struggle. Obviously, this is a problem not only for comics, but pretty much every corner of the entertainment world. I am absolutely sick of remakes at the movies and on TV. Reading the article got me to thinking about [...]
