Fund It! – Now That’s A Concept (Part 2)

By | Apr 14, 2011 | Columns

Last week, editor-in-chief Matthew Meylikhov started off a new, three-part installment of Fund It! The theme? Concept albums as sequential art. Today, I continue that idea with three albums that are very dear to me for very, very different reasons. Today’s subjects? The Antler’s Hospice, David Bowie’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and […]

With this week and the next two weeks that follow, Walt, Josh and myself will be presenting you a trilogy of articles that all thematically tie together: what would happen if some of our favorite concept albums […]

Fund It!: What Do We Do With Batman?

By | Mar 31, 2011 | Columns

I have made no attempt to hide my disdain for Tony Daniel’s run as writer and – until recently – artist on Batman. While I could write a book about why this is, this article is not the place for that. Rather, I’d like to share with you what I think the Batman title should […]

Fund It!: The Authority – Rebirth

By | Mar 17, 2011 | Columns

On the one hand, I appreciate that Wildstorm tried to do something that truly couldn’t be done in your standard Marvel or DC superhero franchise. On the other, the current post-apocalyptic setting – while a good enough idea story-wise – really doesn’t fit in all that well with certain characters of the Wildstorm Universe. The […]

Fund It!: Cyclops – A Retrospective

By | Mar 10, 2011 | Columns

Cyclops is, without a doubt, my favorite member of the X-Men, and not because he has the coolest power. Well, maybe that plays a factor in it, but my appreciation for the character stems from the great work that has been done with the character in the past decade or so. Many great writers have […]

Fund It! – The End Of the Runaways

By | Feb 23, 2011 | Columns

This week, your usual Fund It! host is a bit unable to maintain his duties to you in this article. It’s not because he doesn’t love you, but rather that he is an incredibly important man who needs to do a week off to save the multiverse. Yes, you read that absolutely correctly. So in […]

Fund It!: Star Wars Smugglers

By | Feb 17, 2011 | News

n the past few years, the average Star Wars book has been on par with or better than the average DC or Marvel book, but I feel that there’s still something lacking. A quick glance at Dark Horse’s catalog reveals the missing link: nearly all of the comics currently being published are separate from the […]

Fund It! – Post-Grounded Superman

By | Feb 10, 2011 | Columns

In about five issues, Superman is going to finish his walk about the United States and get back to flying about Metropolis — at least, I assume. I was intrigued by the idea behind the “Grounded” storyline when it was announced, but at this point I have gotten a bit tired of it and am […]

Fund It! – The Future of All-Ages Comics

By | Feb 2, 2011 | Columns

Since the downgrading of Brian Clevinger’s all-ages Captain America title from a four issue mini to a lone one-shot, all-ages comics have become the current hot topic within the comic fandom. Last Friday, David laid out the facts and the myths of all-ages comics, and today I would like to present some ideas as to […]

Fund It! – The Weirdo Return of Dr. Fate

By | Jan 27, 2011 | Columns

Other than what basically amounts to a supporting role in Justice Society of America, Dr. Fate has been getting the short end of the stick over the last few years. Frankly, its not really treatment befitting the eminent sorcerer of the DC Universe. That said, magic based books, especially within DC’s jurisdiction, have historically been […]
