Welcome To My Nightmare
Right after I posted last week’s column, I found out that comic veteran Steve Gerber had died.
I never had the good fortune of meeting Mr. Gerber. He was a fellow St. Louisan, so I always smiled when I saw his name on a comic. It’s always fun to see a local fellow or lady getting [...]
Welcome To My Nightmare
First order of business: where are my candidates? I have a couple for Marvel and they’re both mutants! Where’s the common folk? The cosmically endowed? And where’s the love for DC? Send in some candidates for the comic White House(s) and play along! See my previous column for more. I promise not to ask for [...]
Welcome To My Nightmare
After my off-topic piece from last week, there is only way to follow up: POLITICS!
Every four years, the media in America loses their minds. I’m sure it similar in other democratic nations — when election time rolls around, nothing else matters. Late last night I was watching a CBS News broadcast and towards the end [...]
Welcome To My Nightmare
Let me tell you right up front, what I have to say today is gonna piss some people off. I wasn’t going to post this here, but after my editor read it on my myspace blog he said, “What’s the point of having a soapbox if you don’t get on it once in awhile?” Maybe [...]
Welcome To My Nightmare
I do not read Spider-Man titles with any regularity. Occasionally I pick up a trade, if it looks interesting. And I may very well be the only person you’ll know who actually liked “Sins Past.” But I just don’t care to read Spidey’s adventures on a weekly or even monthly basis. Along the same lines [...]
Welcome To My Nightmare
Welcome To 2008! I’ve got an idea for a bit of creative writing/role-playing that I’ll present to you folks in a couple of weeks, but I thought I’d take this week to start the new year (or help close the old year if you’re reading this in China) on a positive note. I expressed not [...]
Welcome To My Nightmare Before (OK, After) Christmas
Ah…Christmas. The day all of Christianity celebrates the birth of the most famous Mexican-by-way-of-Israel-and/or-Palestine of all time, Jesus Humberto Christ. And for him they cease regular rock & roll music on the radio for Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and Nat King Cole, everyone shops like they were not allowed to for the previous 11 months, [...]
Welcome To My Nightmare
This week, Welcome to My Nightmare is brought to you be the letters E, R, I and C, and by the number Zero. Nexus regular Eric sent me not one, not two, but three full emails of excellent “What If…?/Elseworlds” ideas! However, at this time we can still post Zero pictures in the column. And [...]
Welcome To My Nightmare
My friends, I have not left! I have been patiently waiting for several good people to fix an issue with our site. I have been trying for three weeks to upload pictures in this column, and it’s just not working. Other than my logo pic, nothing I — or several other writers here — attempt [...]
Welcome To My Nightmare
Cha Cha Cha Changes! Another musical inspiration brought to you by David Bowie, aka Nikola Tesla from the brilliant film, the Prestige. Let’s explore a “What If…?” or “Elseworlds” type of scenario and completely shuffle the deck (or decks, if you want to do both big comic universes). Imagine, if you will, that you are [...]
