What a great King of Days it has been for me. (King of Days, to the uninitiated, is Wednesday when the new comics arrive.) I’ve got several reasons to be happy. First off: Teen Titans #30 has me in 1980s La-La-Land, with the first real Captain Carrot story since 1986’s Oz-Wonderland War, PLUS the first…

DC Comics releases for March (One Year Later)
Comics Continuum has posted the DC releases and covers for March, which is the start of One Year Later. What does this mean to you? It means SPOILERS, lots and lots of SPOILERS, so I’m putting it in the extended entry. Those of you who’d like to avoid spoilers can instead look at the cool…
Kurt Busiek to write new direction for Aquaman
Aquaman becomes “Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis” with new team of Kurt Busiek and artist Butch Guice. The new title signifies the sword and sorcery direction of the book. Oh, and Arthur “Orin” Curry is not Aquaman.
New Blue Beetle costume
Newsarama has an interview with Cully Hamner which shows the new Blue Beetle costume. I will reserve comment, but you all go ahead and say what you think.
Dixon on Green Arrow again?

The leader recounts how these weapons were first created by the American military, and…
What Kistler does when he’s bored
You may or may not care, but I went back and added a good dozen or so images into my GUIDE TO THE CRISIS articles, as well as corrected spelling errors (I think I got them all). I also added a couple of images to my old Aquaman article, including a picture of Aquaman’s pet…
Michael has a Corner too: Guy Gardner

I’m awesome
This is the transcript of a conversation that Alan Kistler and I had today via AOL Instant Messenger: [10:03] fanzinger: Oh, and reading your piece makes me aware of the real need for another continuity mess article. [10:03] fanzinger: Supergirl. [10:03] Alan Kistler: LOL [10:03] fanzinger: You’ve got Matrix. [10:03] fanzinger: You’ve got Kara in…
Digest-sized Sgt. Rock?!
I didn’t know that a Sgt. Rock digest is going to be released tomorrow. I’m glad to see that non-kids titles will be released in this new format. Way to go, DC!
