I come to my love of history through my father.  He was fascinated with it and there were always history books around when I was growing up.  I would have been a history major if I could have figured out a way to get a job out of it (not that my Economics Degree did […]

News is still coming out every day, but I figured you may want to know what I think.  I have to admit my initial reaction was poor, but it was based on one line in the initial announcement, more than the relaunch of the titles.  My initial concern was over the spectre of Same Day […]

I expect this to be a topic at tomorrow’s podcast, but I figured I would throw out my first thoughts.  Don’t read past the break if you don’t want the podcast spoiled ahead of time. Bleeding Cool is reporting “In September, all the DC Comics published set within the DC Universe will be renumbered with […]

I am a very lucky person in that I have a 7-10 minute commute to work (depending on if I hit the one light on the way and if I get behind someone driving slowly).  The only downside is that I really don’t have any time to listen to podcasts.  I tried listening when I […]

So this is the first line on my invoice for next week: DAY EARLY DELIVERY COMPLIANCE FUND (NET) $4.00 Oh, happy day.  What does this mean?  It means that, starting next week, the books will be arriving on TUESDAYS! Now, don’t get too excited.  I will not be selling them on Tuesdays.  That is actually […]

First off, thanks for making 2010 another successful year for me. For me, 2010 was a crazy year. Most of it is actually a blur.  These last 4 months certainly drowned out the first 8.  I do remember Free Comic Book Day being a hoot, but beyond that not so much. As you all know, […]
