Monday, March 31st, 2008

In my review of the comic book, I forgot to mention how weird it was to get “thought bubbles” of text bubbling from Buffy’s head. You virtually never had that in the TV show. Maybe one episode started with Buffy reading Jack London as a voice-over narration to events, but that was the exception. And [...]

Buffy Season 8, episodes 1-5

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, Volume 1: The Long Way Home What can I say about this? One of the unique things about the TV show was that it made the writers famous. Part of that was the fact that it came into its own at just the right time to be one of [...]

Crimson Dark is now beginning chapter four.  What that means is that chapter three is now completed and available to be read in one sitting!  This announcement is given to allow others the ability to exercise self-control and then gain better enjoyment, as opposed to the frustration (which I personally am not able to resist) [...]

What made Frank Miller’s comic books great

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

In both ELEKTRA: ASSASSIN and THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, Miller’s moral is: the brutes are right. To cope with the world as it is, you have to be brutal.

OK, if you are like me, even though you know reading one page every three days of a comic book is insufferable, you just can’t help yourself. But if you’re not like me, and can treat webcomics like real books and wait the amont it time it takes for a chapter to come out, then [...]
