More Bone

A couple weeks back, I blogged about the Jeff Smith exhibit here in Columbus at the Wexner Center for the Arts. Well, I just got a notice from Amazon that the exhibition catalog, Bone and Beyond, is now available for...

Jeff Smith at the Wex

I'm making tentative plans with friends to go see the Jeff Smith exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts on Saturday (timed to both take in the exhibit and also catch Jeff's conversation with Scott McCloud.) Smith is, of...

Mini-Review: "Crécy" by Warren Ellis

Bloody Frogs, originally uploaded by soldierant. Tapped out quickly, cause it's on my mind: if you get the chance, you should definitely check out Warren Ellis' Crécy. It's a you-are-there retelling of the humiliating defeat that the French King...

Cap

Alright, I'm not really reading Captain America these days, but I thought this from Caleb was worth some linky-love: In the ‘40s, Captain America used to punch out Hitler on the covers of his comics. I look forward to a...

Superbaby

"Superbaby" is an original illustration by Dean Trippe, commissioned by us to commemorate the first year of our son Edison's life. Within minutes of Edison's birth, one of the delivery-room nurses pointed out his 'Superman curl' to us: a floppy...

Batman's Christmas List

Comics fans, you really owe it to yourself to catch up on J. Caleb Mozzocco's ongoing series Batman's Christmas List. (I would say that non-comics fans should give it a go, too, but—after re-reading 'em myself, I realize that there's...

Comics Pet Peeve: Character Designs Based on Actors

Something that I think may be getting out of hand lately: comics artists who design their characters in obvious reference to this-or-that Hollywood actor. I'm thinking specifically of J.G. Jones designs for 'Wesley' and The Fox in Wanted (which, yes,...

Questionable Choice

I'll claim ignorance of most of the titles on this year-end list of "Great Graphic Novels for Teens". But… but… Identity Crisis?! Yeah, it was good, no doubt about it. (Tho, I will point out, written in 2004 which would...

Happy 4th, Everybody

J. Caleb reminds us what today is all about:Why, if it weren't for Uncle Sam, you might be reading this blog today in German. Or Indian. Or possibly Bear. Happy 4th!...

Priceless

J. Caleb breaks down Six Things I Learned From 'Justice League of America Hereby Elects...' including this nugget, about the handmade motorcycle that Superman gifted Black Canary with:Sure, it's a really crappy looking motorcycle but, still—that shit's handmade. With pictures!...

Shazam!

Awesome. J. Caleb Mozzocco is a local writer that I like a lot (he writes a weekly film review for Donewaiting.com, amongst other things.) And he's uncovered a real gem—a reprint of a late-70s Captain Marvel comic, in which the...

Finding Feathertop

Somehow it escaped my notice that there is an 8-page prose story in the back of the first Fables trade paperback (Legends in Exile) called 'A Wolf in the Fold.' If, like me, you've only recently discovered it (or perhaps...

McCloud's Chapter 5½

If, like me, you've already devoured Scott McCloud's Making Comics and were wondering when he'd get around to posting that elusive 'Fifth-and-a-half Chapter' (focused around online comics production) then wonder no more! He's finally posted it: Making Comics – Chapter...

4 Summer Flings

Apropos of nothing, and partially to alleviate my guilt at having been such a non-blogging fool lately, here's a small taste of my pop-culture life over the summer. Ryan Adams ~ HeartbreakerSep 20, 2006Bryce Glassproduct ★★★★★ Awright, Adams has...
