WELCOME KING BAD ASS Many readers may remember that when I first heard about the Black Panther taking over for Daredevil, I had what I thought were some very legitimate concerns. Here’s some of what I had to say (the whole post, brilliant in its own right, can be found HERE): “As the Black Panther, [...]

It’s a shame that such a COOL game trailer was released– only to have the Distinguished Competition focus everyone’s attention on their $1 comic book price decrease!

Bring it on, Wes!

You Can Go Home Again Anyone who follows the CCW*TV Companion Blog or watches my rants on CCW*TV will not be surprised to read that I have become increasingly disenchanted with the Big 2 comic publishers. Lame “blockbuster” events, rising cover prices, gratuitous deaths and clichéd storytelling are only a few of the problems that [...]

HOW ARE THESE DIFFERENT? Recently, I came across an article entitled MANGA VS COMICS… I know. I know… What’s weird– there are a ton of articles just like this out there… All comparing Manga to American Comic Books. Truth be told, I am not in agreement with most of their content.
