I don’t often review comic books. They go by so quickly, that often I only feel the need to comment on something large in the comic or in an over-all arc. So what is about Green Arrow #7 from DC Comics that has me rushing to the interwebs to get all lippy? I’m a Green

It’s not that I believe that the Mayans had some insider information on when the world would end. If they knew that, surely they would have seen the collapse of their own empire, right? But damned if I don’t love a deadline, even an artificial one. And what’s more of a deadline than the end

Here it is Christmas Eve. I’ve got a roast elf cooling on the stove top and a candy cane bourbon smoothie in the blender. Let’s take a moment to talk about games. And by that, I mean Role Playing Games (or RPG to my geeky brethren) Earlier this year I worked on a role-playing game

Pausing on the slow decent into madness that is the holiday season, it occurs to me to take stock. Sure, 2011 isn’t over yet, but I can New Years from my window, so it’s good enough. Anything that comes up between now and then will be a pleasant surprise, the icing on the gingerbread cookie,

I love musicals, and while Avenue Q isn’t my favorite musical of all time, it’s certainly in the top ten. Additionally, I loved South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut because it was clear to me that it was, at its heart, a high-concept musical as well. And I still find both as funny as hell. So

I’ll be up front with you Scott. I’m a comic fan, and I tend to follow authors. While I can’t say with any certainty that I’ve started reading a book you were attached to simply because you were writing, I have taken notice and really enjoyed some of your work. Wildcats Vol. 3 springs immediately

Foolscap is coming up next weekend. If you’re not familiar with the Foolscap convention, answer these three questions: Do you like sci-fi/fantasy fiction and art? I’m not talking movies or tv, here. I mean the flat stuff. Are you a writer or artist of the above either a) just getting your foot in the door,

I know. I’ve been bad. Projects eating my time–and by default my brain. I haven’t even updated with a Fringe Candy post, and I have so many things to share on that topic thanks to a care package of weird candy from a fellow candy deviant. But there’s a thing that separates writers from sane

Let me just say this right off the bat: director Paul W.S. Anderson gets a lot of totally undeserved shit on some of the geek message boards I frequent. Whenever his name is announced attached to a movie, the cry of outrage goes up (usually at Ain’t It Cool News, who I tend to agree
