Hi all,
On the off chance anyone wanders over here, I've set up my new home base now at PipelineComics.com. And, of course, you can also follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter as...
Thanks! I shall do my best! And did I mention the mailing list at PipelineComics.com? I should really do that more often... ;)

Thanks, SJNeal! And thanks for putting up with me for that long! ;-)
Hopefully, this will be the start of something even bigger. It's good to get a swift kick in the butt to get yourself back in...
Thanks, dimo! And don't forget to follow PipelineComics.com for future announcements, within the week! ;-)
Though I will miss that little brain in a pipe logo...

Hi John,
I'm torn. I'm missing an issue, embarrassingly enough. And the next one didn't do much for me. So maybe I need to jumpstart it by just jumping ahead to 13ABC and then straight out to...
I kind of agree with you, especially if it took up the whole column for a month. So I'm going to finish it and find another way to present it that won't gum up the works.
Thanks!

It took me awhile to see it, but you're right. The title got it wrong, but the column got it right. My fault. I remember triple checking it for the text of the column, but forgot to look up at the...
Just wanted to let you all know I intend on continuing with the analysis of this issue, but it might not be for a couple of weeks yet until things line up, timing-wise. Stay tuned.... And thanks,...
For the annual look back at something Mike Wieringo drew (his birthday was last week), I picked "Fantastic Four" #60 and started to write something in depth about its storytelling choices, how Waid...
And then I read volume 3 today, and -- it's even better than the last two, combining the funny elements with the most horrific ones, and a couple of the craziest twists the story has had so far.
...
Ack! I give up. I cry for mercy. I'm putting this column and this thread behind me and hoping for the best in the future!
-Augie, re-read those four sentences ten times before hitting "Post"
Yeah, that would be the trick to make it all work with Nick and Judy as friends. I think they still have different styles of working their job that could provide some drama for a sequel. And...
...which is a real shame, when you think about it. We can program all this artificial intelligence into Siri and Amazon's Echo and Google's search engine, but Word still can't auto-correct obvious...
There's plenty of bad stuff in the 90s to make fun of, for sure, but that shouldn't blind us to all the good stuff. And I think people quickly forget the good when they look at all the bad copycat...
I'm not nearly as negative on it as many others were, but the flaws to me were more obvious in the second movie than the first. And I'll readily admit the first movie had a certain magical aura to...

I've been doing a series of X-Men characters as they might look in their 40s, as they settle down to raise families, mostly stop superheroing, and start looking more like normal people. ...
Ha! That's a good example. Another case where people think, "But it's a glass. It wouldn't have black lines around it, so of course we drop the lines." UGH

My spare money fund for digital comics exists on PayPal. I can pay directly from PayPal through Comixology, but not Amazon.

Thanks! I'm only sorry it took me this long to get back to the message boards to respond... =(
I used the money for something else. I forget what. Might have been an Artist's Edition book....
I hope so, too. I've been buying Spirou just for this in French, but the second chapter got very wordy in a hurry. It's a lot of work to get through it.
(Though I am learning a lot of French...)...
Thanks -- there was a lot of good stuff that came out of WildStorm, and a sea of great creators who continue to work in the industry to this day. It continues to amaze me how DC couldn't capitalize...
Give it a shot. It really is much more restrained than you might remember or fear. EVERY comic has exposition; very few writers hide it well. It's a necessity, it's not fun to write, it's not easy...
Thanks, Beau. I hadn't seen that one come through. Might have to give it a shot. Yeah, probably don't need all the personal stuff, but I'm sure it neatly intersects with those last two books in...
Hmmm, I'm not sure how I'd rank everything. That's a good question, and probably worthy of a column in the future... Right now, though, I'm still putting StormWatch/Authority ahead of Wildcats. I...
