Craig Ferguson … voice of reason
I thought he was amusing on The Drew Carey Show. I found him funnier on his late night show than Craig Kilborn was. Now, after watching several episodes, he’s actually seeming like a guy I’d like to meet and chat with. And what he said here was, I think, pretty cool and pretty admirable in …

What If… Bill Nye had been bitten by the radioactive spider?
I was able to tour the Marvel Superheroes Science Exhibition now at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto, Canada. (That’s me in the infra-red colors and also next to the sign at the end of the video.) This is the kind of thing you’ll like, if you like this kind of thing. I think the …

Crossgen Books released by Checker
Checker Books has the license to print more volumes of CrossGen’s trade paperbacks. For instance, Volumes 1-4 of Sojourn were released by CrossGen, but they never got around to issuing trades for the rest of the series, so now CrossGen has released Volume 5 this month. Today, I created a new CrossGen trade paperbacks store, …

And five cartoon mice control all international finance!
Tom and Jerry cartoons are a secret plot of THE JEWS! This guy’s all over the place. Walt Disney has gotten something of a rep of being an anti-Semite, not in the “printing literature” sense that Ford was, but having the standard ethnic stereotypes and opinions of the day…most obviously in the Big Bad Wolf …

The group launched the "Tour for the Cure" anime con and stated that all proceeds would be donated to breast cancer research. Obviously they needed help for something that big and they recruited several people in the anime community, …

On April 29th, I’ll be appearing at MicroCon in St. Paul, Minnesota. I hope you’ll all show up! This is going to be an interesting con.

Obviously, that was a planned rollout to coincide with the Academy Awards, since that is the subject of the movie. I can’t wait to see it! Well, technically, I have …

I did not expect that cameo on Heroes
Not related to the topic of my post… but certainly upfront… I am terrible with names of people, real and fictional, so it only helps when everyone has a nickname… although Claude’s name is easy because I like that book. All of this is to distract you with facts. The spoiler is “after the jump”

Saints Meltzer and Marz?
When I first heard of Identity Crisis, I was livid. As a fan of the Dibneys, I had an immediate and visceral reaction to the news that Brad Meltzer had murdered Sue in one issue and raped her in the next, the retcon equivalent of necrophilia. And then there was the whole mind-wiping thing… And …

Everyone’s got an opinion on her. "She’s an American ideal." "She’s a symbol of Greek myth come to life." "She’s a strong feminist icon." "She’s all about power."
