  • Monitor Duty Exclusive!!!!

    One of the best things about running Monitor Duty is that, every so often, I get a tip from someone in the know and no one else on the web has it. I’m happy to say, I’ve got one. This is a Monitor Duty Exclusive, folks!

  • Good news about the industry?

    Looking at the Numbers; or, a Little Holiday Cheer Comic sales are actually increasing in unit sales (i.e. more comics sold, not just more money received) and that doesn’t count TPBs! I’d like to dicker (there’s a word you don’t see often enough nowadays) with one of Stuart Moore’s statements, concerning the availability of entertainment…

  • CrossGen Interview series at MediaSharx

    CrossGen is finally seeking to do some press again to promote their ongoing line of books. I wish it had been sooner. With people unpaid, books canceled, creators leaving, creators “let go”, and even some of the creators on the remaining books leaving the company, the gossip mills have been churning and it’s been very…

  • Awwww, why’d you have to grab Saddam now?

    Reality invades Phantom Jack. “Phantom Jack” was going to have the lead character kill Saddam Hussein, but now that ending has to be changed. I don’t see why they can’t do the DC thing of having it be “Qurac” and “Sudmann Innsanne” or something like that. That way we all know what he’s really doing…

  • Norm Breyfogle interview

    I’ve always liked Norm Breyfogle‘s run on Detective comics, which had a number of memorable story arcs. (Cornelius Stirk’s intro was one of the best ones.) Money quote: But these days getting work from [Marvel and DC] is clearly more about who you know than about how good you are (although that counts, too, of…

  • Dark Horse comics for February

    Dark Horse releases for February I like the sound of this Star Wars TPB about Biggs, Luke Skywalker’s friend. May have to pick that one up.

  • Spidey 2 Trailer debuts online!

    Spider-Man 2 Trailer! It’s awesome…but it doesn’t download very well. You may have to try after it isn’t so clogged with traffic!

  • First manga in Wal-Mart!

    Okay, I don’t care about manga, but whenever I see news about comics trying to reach the mass market again, I spotlight it: Tokyopop Invades the Mass Market

  • Josh Elder on “Writing for the Trade

    Scott McCullar and I had a discussion at Wizard World Texas about how almost all of the companies around today are looking at their monthly titles as nothing but Trade Paperback fodder, which has both pros and cons. Our buddy Josh Elder tackles that in Writing for the Trade

  • Roz and Melinda rate the Paycheck trailers

    Rosaline Terrill, her husband William, my wife Melinda and I were all shopping at a rather derelict mall down in Dallas during Wizard World Texas. We were stopped by a couple of those annoying people who beg busy shoppers to interrupt their shopping time to take product surveys…in this case, view a movie clip and…
