Who’s Who in the DCU

Boo!
It’s Labor Weekend here in the ol’ US of A and that means it is time to give thanks for the work we have and for the work we don’t have to have. Namely being a whiny Spirit of Vengeance forced to kill your own son for avenging your death. Or migrant worker.

Words of Questionable Wisdom – The Trouble With Retailers Pt 2

By mathan erhardt ⋅ August 2, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

When I originally started this series of five columns I was super gung ho about my beef with retailers. Time, however has softened my stance.
Originally I’d planned to rail against the prevailing notion that comic shops should cater to all thing geek. I don’t dig it as a business model.

Words of Questionable Wisdom – The Joys of Collecting

By mathan erhardt ⋅ July 24, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve been collecting comics for quite a few years now. I like collecting comics. It’s a fun hobby and it keeps me literate, to an extent.
But since I’ve been collecting comics for such a long time I’ve kind of stopped “collecting comics” and am almost exclusively “going to buy comics weekly.”

Words of Questionable Wisdom – Huh? Wha?
