Your Ideal Comics Shop

Feb 9, 2010
I'm gonna come right out and say it. I have no idea what to write about today. To complicate matters, I'm not even writing today's post...today. I'm writing it a couple of days in your past. I'm actually trying to stockpile a couple of posts now,...

The People Have Spoken!

Feb 8, 2010
To celebrate our blog reaching 15,000 hits, we put up a poll to decide whether I should expose Alex to the harsh vacuum of space in the form of Star Trek or Firefly/Serenity. I will admit to having been a little sneaky; when Firefly/Serenity started to...

Mega Man 5 Teaser

Feb 7, 2010
As you may know, I've been working on a video run of Mega Man 5 for YouTube, but the process has been a long one. The last Mega Man video I released, of bloopers, glitches, and tricks for Mega Man 4, was in November of last year. The last full run I...

An Introduction to Collecting Comics, Part Two

Feb 6, 2010
Picking right up where we left off yesterday, when I refer to "ages" of comics, I'm talking about the era in which the books were originally printed and sold. As mentioned, there are four such ages--the Golden Age, the Silver Age, the Bronze Age, and...

very good
  The writing is good, even if the style doesn't always match my tastes. The subjects are usually interesting as well... but the main reason I feel like I can't give a higher rating is that I sometimes feel like I read out of obligation, rather than interest. Some posts interest me, but they always seem to skim the surface rather than delving deeper into a fandom. I feel like a "good" blog writer is able to take a topic and expose the "hidden" points in a way that makes other people want to read/learn more. Waiting for Wednesday is an example of this; it seems more suited for a hardcore comic blog. As a casual reader of the blog, I don't really care what's coming out, and mini-reviews don't help much to pique my interest, either, unfortunately... Sorry guys. Here's to the future!
