I think it’s fair to say that most everyone in the comic book industry is in shock right now. Dwayne McDuffie has passed away, reportedly due to complications during surgery. We still don’t know too much about what happened. Through this last weekend he was still posting on his blog about the debut of his…

Emil Hamilton is ruined, all right (Spoilers for old Superman book)
Spoilers, I guess, if anyone cares. As I buy old trade paperbacks from Scott Beatty, it has allowed me to catch up on some comic books I wasn’t buying even when I bought comic books. (I haven’t been to a comic shop since Blackest Night ended.) So, I read this TPB that was all about…
Biggest educational time-waster ever
TV Tropes. You get linked there to learn about a literary trope in television, movies, comic books, etc. For instance, I’m writing about a female barbarian character, and in researching costuming I ended up reading about Chain Mail Bikinis. This leads to what the Most Common Superpower is, and how this often involves a Victoria’s…
Awesome preview movie for DCU MMORPG
Oh yeah. I’m posting it. I can be a lemming if I try.
I used to love comic books. Then Batman peed his pants.
Topless Robot’s blog gives the details: Batman Peed His Pants. (Language warning for the blog’s content.)

One of them went off too hot and it caused Batman…
Batman 3 and Superman reboot news

My toys! MINE!
This week, a three-year-old named Grayson stopped by our house. He came into our home office and spotted all my comic book merchandise from DC Direct and others atop the book shelves. He said, “Can I play with those?” and pointed to all of my MIB stuff (Mr. Miracle and Big Barda, three different Elongated…
What are the concepts that don’t “work right” in a unified DCU?
I’ve come to the conclusion that as much as I like seeing the Shazam characters in the DCU, they really need to be their own universe. Captain Marvel needs to be in a world where Superman doesn’t exist, 11-year-olds have broadcasting careers and talking animals being a part of your circle are unquestioned. Where Mr….
Podcast 5: Superman’s 50th Anniversary TV Special
Podcast 5 is up…and it’s still 2009! I promised Erik Burnham that I would have all of our older recordings published before the end of 2009… and I have 1/2 hour left to make that promise KEPT. This one’s less than 10 minutes long. Just a brief recording that wasn’t worth throwing out, despite some…
Superman and Batman team-up really worth it?
UPDATED: Coding corrected.
