• Web of evil

    Could your new Spider-Man shirt from Wal-Mart be sponsoring terrorism? Well, no, it’s just a piece of material. I mean, if you buy it, your dollars could…oh, you know what I meant! Not much about comics, but comic fans buy superhero clothing so I thought you’d want to be aware of this.


  • A PvP before noon? FREAKY!

    As Scott Kurtz admitted in his assessment of the last year, PvP’s strip has been posted in the afternoons or evenings for so long that we pretty much expect it. But today PvP‘s latest strip was up this morning. My world doesn’t make sense anymore! First, DC Comics is going to perhaps kill off my…


  • A late but great LOTR:ROTK review

    This The New Yorker review of Return of the King came out just a week ago, but I think it’s one of the best yet.


  • “39 Steps” remake

    The New York Post reports: ALFRED Hitchcock’s classic “The 39 Steps” is set to get a makeover. Carlton America, which owns rights to the flick, has hired Robert Towne to rewrite and direct the 1935 thriller which starred Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll and Lucie Mannheim. Towne’s credits include “Mission Impossible: 3” and “Chinatown.” While 39…


  • Up, up, right, gently…the claw is too small!

    Kid crawls inside a claw machine. This little boy crawled in through the drop slot in order to get a toy, and no one knows how he fit. He isn’t exactly the size of Buzz Lightyear.


  • Guess I’ll put off that book on the cold war

    Surely some of you have wondered where I’ve been for the last few days. I’ve been around, and I’m working on the Monitor Duty site’s new design and our new contest, but both of them have some serious bugs that need to be worked out first. NOTE: If I can’t get the contest form to…


  • UFF goes 200K+

    Ultimate Fantastic Four has debuted with sales over 200,000, making for some of the best sales numbers in ages.


  • Luann – New book, TV series

    I didn’t realize that there was a new Luann book. I was getting worried, since it’s been so long since her last book. (Why do I say “her” previous book, like she’s a real person? Oy.) Here’s a news tidbit. Apparently, there is a Luann TV show in development by Dick Clark productions.


  • American Splendor gets critics award

    The National Society of Film Critics gave the Best Picture award to the comic book movie “American Splendor.”


  • Good cartoon, but appropriate?

    Time’s Cartoons of the Year 2003 are pretty good. But I have to wonder about the choice of including one of these. The “Looting of the Baghdad Museum’s Art Treasures” is one of the big non-stories of the year. During the second week of the Iraq War (i.e. after it was over), it was first…
