My Thoughts on Digital Comics
There has been a lot of talk about Digital Comics lately. At least there was a lot of talk about it at the ComicsPRO meeting in Dallas. Recently there was a poll on a retailer site about it. I was going to go into a long answer there, but I figured it was better to […]
Dwayne McDuffie and Creators Passing
In case you hadn’t heard, Dwayne McDuffie died yesterday. Now, he rose to fame at the exact time I was out of comics, the late 80s through mid-90s. So I was not there for the Milestone launch. I have very little familiarity with the characters. But the fact that they are there speaks volumes for […]
2010 Best Sellers
I read Brian Hibbs posts at Comix Experience about 2010 and wanted to compare my numbers. I really can’t do a fair comparison across all product lines, because I don’t track back issues individually and some card packs go under Cards and some go under Games. But I will give you my Top 50 Comics […]

Marvel and Its Diminishing Luster
I am a fan of Marvel comics. I am just not a fan of Marvel Comics. Does that make sense? I’ll explain. I grew up reading Marvel and DC. But I loved Marvel a little bit more. Spider-Man was always my favorite, but Daredevil was up there as well. The New Teen Titans were good, […]
Lessons Learned
As we go through daily life, it is truly amazing what we learn when we don’t even realize it. Seeing a mother berate a child in a store gets filed away as “I’ll never do that to my kid” or reading something online about dealing with a situation hopefully gets remembered. This past week I […]
