Bookmark: Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones is the first novel in the A Song of Fire and Ice saga and the teevee series adapting that string of novels. But you know that, everyone knows that. The popularity of this story is surprising to me; clearly the HBO teevee adaptation had a lot to do with it but it seems like the novels had gathered a lot of steam … Continue reading Bookmark: Game of Thrones

LARP it up Fuzzball
I have never LARP’d but it seems, in theory, like it might be possibly fun. Depending on the scenario and the people and how much coffee I’d had. If I could bend the rules like Francis in today’s PvP though, that might seal the deal for me: This made me think of a great couple of Angst Technology comics from Barry Smith about dressing up … Continue reading LARP it up Fuzzball
RIP Carmine Infantino
Dang, I didn’t see this until today — Carmine Infantino passed away on Thursday. Infantino designed the Silver Age Flash’s now-iconic red and yellow costume. He drew “Flash of Two Worlds,” a landmark story published in The Flash #123 that introduced Earth-Two to DC Comics. He also helped coordinate the cross-publisher comic “Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man.” Continue reading RIP Carmine Infantino
Bookmark: The Walking Dead
I just saw that Goodreads has been bought by Amazon. I don’t know what to think about that, I haven’t been super-active on the site recently but if it’s all now going to be fodder for Amazon’s store, I suppose I will think about it in a different light. But I digress from the zombies. I just finished watching the Season 3 finale of The … Continue reading Bookmark: The Walking Dead
RIP Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert passed away this week. Cancer sucks. No one growing up now will get how I and others looked forward to seeing Siskel & Ebert’s show. They argued about movies, they showed clips — it was the only thing of its kind at the time. I thought Ebert had better taste and the better of most of their arguments on the show but when … Continue reading RIP Roger Ebert
Dead Trees: Sin Titulo
Comics Alliance reports that Dark Horse will publish later this year a hardcover collection of Cameron Stewart’s self-published webcomic Sin Titulo. I previously blogged about Sin Titulo here and here. Continue reading Dead Trees: Sin Titulo
Strip Search #10: Opposite World
Great episode and probably the most intense “draw-off” competition yet. I did not agree with the judges decision this time but I kind of get why they went the way they did. Interestingly enough it looks like the average for the Strip Show episodes right now is somewhere just south of 50,000 views (I’m assuming each one is posted once to YouTube) although the first … Continue reading Strip Search #10: Opposite World
