Pre-Previews:
DC’s October Solicits

Hey all! The DC October solicitations were released today, so let’s take a look at a few of the books coming out in a few months: Blackest Night- I have no idea. I’m trying to avoid all possible spoilers for this crossover, because it’s the only thing I’ve been really excited about in comics in…



Item! Rob Liefeld Still Sucks!

While wasting time on the internet this evening, I happened upon a post from two years ago called “The 40 Worst Rob Liefeld Drawings.” I know what you’re thinking: “How can someone have possibly narrowed it down to forty?” Well, somehow they managed to do it over at progressiveboink.com.

Joe Quesada vs Web 2.0

5:25 p.m.: I’ve noticed that lately some major websites have been using my Tweets as content without even asking me.
