In Memoriam: Phyllis Coates

By | Jan 5, 2024 | Columns

Whether we want to or not, we all become our parents. My dad used to tell a story that the one and only time he played pub trivia as a young man, he was paired with his best friend Joe, and the question that would give them the win was “who played Lois Lane on […]

My Comics Year 2023: A Year (or Two) Without comiXology

By | Jan 4, 2024 | Columns

On February 14, 2022, the digital behemoth known as Amazon completed its decade-long digestion of the entity known as ComiXology. The app broke. The site was demolished. The covenant with its readers, breached. By the end of the year, the team behind the store was dissolved - be they tossed aside or relocated to other limbs of the beast - and what remained was a chipped, hollowed shell, slowing disintegrating before our eyes.

In Memoriam: Rachel Pollack

By | Jan 2, 2024 | Columns

Despite the prestige the name Rachel Pollack has in the comics world, she has surprisingly few titles to her name. In the mid-to-late ’90s, she wrote 11 issues of 1995’s “New Gods,” five issues of “Time Breakers” at the short-lived DC Imprint Helix, and two issues of “Vertigo Visions” (‘The Geek’ and ‘Tomahawk.’) In more […]

My Comics Year: Grandpa and The King

By | Jan 2, 2024 | Columns

It was a Wednesday in September. The sixth judging from a quick look at the calendar app. I sat in the retirement home day room with my grandfather, as I had almost every Wednesday for almost two years now. It was a standing family engagement: the weekly card game at the old folks’ home. But […]
